Mumbai Port Authority 2026 Recruitment: Marine Engineer (01 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly experienced and qualified Marine Engineers holding an MOT I Class Motor or Marine Engineer Officer Class I Certificate. Candidates must possess at least one year of post-qualification experience as a Chief or 2nd Engineer on foreign-going ships. Those seeking a permanent, government-backed position with competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, and a stable work environment within a major port authority will find this opportunity suitable. ST category candidates will benefit from age relaxation.

Individuals who do not possess the specific MOT Class I or Marine Engineer Officer Class I Certificate and the mandatory one year of post-qualification experience as Chief/2nd Engineer on a foreign-going ship should not apply. Those exceeding 40 years of age (or 45 for ST candidates, 55 for existing MbPT employees) as of January 1, 2026, are also ineligible. This is a single vacancy, making it highly competitive, and candidates looking for multiple openings may find this limiting. The application process requires postal submission of documents in a prescribed format.

Working as a Marine Engineer at Mumbai Port Authority offers significant prestige and a stable career path within a critical government-operated institution. The role involves contributing to the operational excellence of one of India's largest and most historic ports. The competitive pay scale, extensive benefits, and opportunities for career progression within a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) under the central government ensure long-term stability and professional recognition in the maritime sector.
