Work Culture & Environment
Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.
The Assistant Manager – Facilities operates at the heart of research administration in the Office of Industrial Consultancy and Sponsored Research (IC&SR), IIT Madras. The day-to-day role demands proactive, multi-front coordination across IC&SR administrative premises, state-of-the-art boardrooms, seminar halls, and museum spaces. Key responsibilities include overseeing daily facility hygiene, HVAC and electrical upkeep, operating video conferencing systems during high-level sponsor meetings, handling computerized booking portals, drafting formal institutional communications, and resolving operational bottlenecks for distinguished faculty and global delegates.
Posting & Transfer Policy
Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.
The position is purely contractual for an initial duration of one year, extendable on a periodic basis subject to satisfactory performance and institutional requirements. Posting is strictly on-site at the Office of IC&SR, IIT Madras campus, Chennai – 600036. The tenure does not confer any entitlement or claim for absorption or regular employment at the Institute.
Career & Promotion Ladder
Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.
As a project/contractual position under IC&SR, there is no standardized central government cadre promotion line. However, stellar operational performance can lead to contractual reclassification (e.g., Deputy Manager / Manager – Facilities) and performance-linked compensation revisions. Additionally, 3+ years managing premier institutional facilities at an Institute of National Eminence like IIT Madras serves as a tier-1 credential for leadership roles in corporate real estate, MNC facilities management, and international convention centers.
