Work involves database monitoring, vendor management, software troubleshooting, and coordinating real-time stock dashboards with hospital superintendents and warehouse managers.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

Appointment is on contract basis. Posting is strictly at the Head Office of KMSCL, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. The contractual position does not confer regular state government servant status or permanent absorption in KMSCL.

Career & Promotion Ladder
