Consultant Grade 2

This role is ideally suited for highly experienced professionals holding a Master's or Post Graduate degree (or PhD) with 8-15 years of post-qualification experience in foreign trade, international trade, tariff/non-tariff matters, and WTO agreements. Candidates should possess strong analytical skills and interdisciplinary knowledge of heavy engineering/industrial machinery sectors, capable of providing strategic inputs for bilateral and multilateral cooperation. Retired government servants meeting the criteria are also encouraged to apply, benefiting from age relaxation. This position is for individuals seeking a high-impact, policy-shaping contractual role within a Central Government Ministry.

Candidates lacking the specified minimum 8 years of specialized post-qualification experience in relevant fields should not apply. Individuals seeking permanent government employment will find this contractual role unsuitable. Those unwilling to work under a performance-based remuneration review system, or who cannot adhere to strict confidentiality, integrity, and conduct standards required for a Central Government Ministry, would not be a good fit.

This is a prestigious position within the Ministry of Heavy Industries, a key Central Government body. The role offers significant exposure to national and international policy-making, trade agreements, and industrial development initiatives. While it is a contractual engagement for a fixed term (initially 2+1 years, extendable up to 5 years, and exceptionally beyond age 65), excellent performance can lead to extensions and opportunities to contribute significantly to government policies. The work involves high-level analysis and input, offering substantial professional growth and impact in the domain of international cooperation.
