CSIR-NEERI Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy for Environmental Engineering Project Staff

This role is ideal for fresh B.E./B.Tech graduates in Civil, Chemical, or CSE who are keen to gain project experience within a prestigious environmental research institution. Candidates who have qualified NET/GATE or similar national-level exams will find a significantly higher emolument. It suits individuals looking for a temporary, project-specific engagement and a valuable stepping stone in environmental research.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, co-terminus project-based role with no implicit right to regularization. Those above 35 years of age or not possessing the specified engineering degrees will also not be eligible. Individuals not comfortable with a walk-in interview process or without the required original documents should also reconsider.

CSIR-NEERI is a highly reputed national institute for environmental engineering research. While the Project Associate-I role is temporary, it offers excellent exposure to R&D project management and coordination within a premier scientific organization. This experience can be highly beneficial for future academic or research-oriented careers, enhancing one's professional profile significantly, even if direct long-term security is not offered within this specific position.
