Chief Engineer Civil

This role is ideal for highly experienced Civil or Mechanical Engineers with a proven track record of at least 15 years in the field, including a significant 10 years in Harbour Engineering or related port operations. Candidates currently serving as a Chief Engineer or one level below, seeking a challenging deputation in a Central Government undertaking, will find this a fitting opportunity. A strong background in planning, construction, maintenance, and operation of port infrastructure, particularly within a Union Territory context, is highly advantageous.

Candidates lacking the extensive 15 years of overall engineering experience, or without the specific 10 years in harbour/port engineering, should not apply. This is a deputation role requiring experience in analogous senior government positions, making it unsuitable for freshers or those outside government service. The application process is offline (email/post); candidates expecting an online portal may find this inconvenient.

This is a high-prestige Group A role within the Lakshadweep Development Corporation Limited, a vital Government of India undertaking responsible for critical infrastructure development in the Union Territory of Lakshadweep. The position offers significant responsibility and influence over port and harbour development projects, contributing directly to regional growth. With a lucrative Level 14 pay scale and potential postings in scenic locations like Kochi or Kavaratti, it provides substantial career growth and a high impact on public service.
