Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

This recruitment is for an institutional Third Party Quality Assurance (TPQA) consultancy engagement managed by the Civil and Electrical Engineering Departments of IIT Jammu for the Jammu Airport expansion project site. Appointees support the Chief Investigator (CI) and Co-CI in quality inspection, material testing audit, CPWD compliance verification, and technical report drafting directly at the airport construction site. The role entails rigorous field-level quality assurance alongside contractor and airport authority engineers.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

The engagement is purely contractual and project-based. The initial tenure is 02 months for Senior Engineer (Civil) and Senior Project Staff (ECSH Expert), and 04 months for Junior Project Staff / Coordinator, with possible extension tied strictly to project milestones and performance. Deployment is at the Jammu Airport site in Jammu (J&K).

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

Because these positions are short-term project appointments funded under consultancy project CP-100561, there is no permanent cadre promotion ladder or absorption into regular IIT Jammu non-teaching staff. However, successful completion provides high-value institutional credentials for senior infrastructure consultancy, metro/airport authority projects, and PMC roles.
Crucial Application Warnings & Eligibility Traps

Avoid common application rejection triggers, photo/signature guidelines, and certificate validity windows.

  • Short Tenure Alert: Initial engagement is temporary (2 months for Senior Engineer / ECSH Expert and 4 months for Junior Project Staff). Applicants seeking permanent or long-term employment should note this is project-specific.
  • Strict Email Communication: Shortlisted candidates are informed strictly via email. Missing or incorrect email addresses in the application form will result in missing the interview slot without recourse.
  • Experience Verification: Mere possession of qualifications does not guarantee an interview call. Shortlisting is strictly merit-based and project-driven; all claimed experience certificates (especially in TPQA, CPWD rules, and site supervision) must be uploaded and verified against originals.
  • No TA/DA: Candidates appearing for physical or online interviews must do so at their own expense.
