Project Associate

This role is most suitable for candidates holding a B.E./B.Tech or M.Tech in Environmental Engineering/Science, with a minimum of two years of relevant work experience. The ideal candidate should be looking for a short-term, project-based contractual position (initially 3 months, extendable) with the Unnat Bharat Abhiyan initiative at IIT Madras. Strong skills in coordination, event management, documentation, and digital content creation are essential. A passion for rural development and grassroots engagement would be highly beneficial.

Individuals seeking permanent employment or a guaranteed long-term career path should not apply, as this is a temporary, contract-based position with no assurance of extension or regularization. Candidates without the specified educational background in engineering/environmental science or those lacking the mandatory two years of relevant experience will not be considered.

Working with IIT Madras, a globally recognized institution, on a Government of India flagship initiative like Unnat Bharat Abhiyan offers significant prestige and exposure, particularly in the fields of social science, environmental sustainability, and rural development projects. While the role is contractual, it provides valuable experience in project coordination and stakeholder engagement within a reputable academic environment, which can be highly beneficial for future career prospects in research, project management, or social sector roles.
