Senior Training and Placement Officer

This role is ideal for highly experienced professionals with a strong background in engineering or postgraduate studies, possessing a minimum of 15 years of overall work experience, with at least 10 years specifically in placement or HR within national importance institutes, higher education, or the IT/manufacturing industries. Candidates should demonstrate a proven track record in achieving high-value placement outcomes, expanding client bases, and enhancing institutional brand perception. Strong communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills with HR managers across various industries are essential.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is a temporary, contract-based role for a period of two years. Those without significant (minimum 15 years) and relevant (10 years in placement/HR) experience, or who exceed 50 years of age, will not be considered. Candidates without a B.E./B.Tech or a postgraduate degree are also ineligible. This position requires a proactive, results-driven professional focused on specific KRAs related to placement outcomes, which may not suit those looking for a purely administrative or less target-oriented role.

IIITDM Kancheepuram is an Institution of National Importance under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, offering a prestigious platform to contribute significantly to the career development of students in a specialized engineering and design institute. While the position is contractual, it offers an opportunity to work at a reputed central government-funded institution, enhancing professional credentials and network within the academic and industry sectors. The role’s focus on achieving high-value placement outcomes (e.g., ₹1 crore CTC offers) indicates a high-impact, strategic position, providing significant professional challenge and recognition for a capable individual.
