IIT Gandhinagar Recruitment 2026: 1 Program Engineer (Fire Safety) Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for highly qualified and experienced Fire Safety professionals. The ideal candidate will possess a specialized Bachelor's Degree in Fire Engineering/Technology or a Bachelor's Degree with a specific course from the National Fire Service College Nagpur. A strong background of at least four years in relevant fire safety operations, maintenance of firefighting systems, safety audits, and incident management within an institutional or industrial setting is crucial. Experience in liaising with government departments for NOCs and documentation is also highly beneficial.

Candidates who do not meet the stringent educational requirements, specifically the specialized Fire Safety degrees or NFSC courses, or those lacking the mandatory four years of relevant experience, should not apply. As this is a contractual and temporary position (initially for one year), individuals seeking permanent government employment immediately should consider other options. The low number of vacancies (01) also implies a highly competitive selection process.

Working at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) provides a prestigious institutional affiliation and exposure to a high-standard academic and research environment. Although the role is contractual, it offers valuable hands-on experience in critical infrastructure safety within a premier educational institution, which can significantly enhance a professional's resume for future roles in both public and private sectors. The experience gained at IIT Gandhinagar would be highly regarded, offering potential for career advancement in specialized safety management and engineering fields.
