Ship Draftsman Trainee

This role is ideal for fresh Diploma holders in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering who have passed SSLC, possess strong draftsmanship skills, and are proficient in CAD software. Candidates seeking an entry-level government sector training opportunity with a reputable Miniratna company, particularly those from SC/ST/OBC categories who benefit from age relaxation and fee exemption, will find this suitable. A willingness to undergo a two-year training period with a stipend and potential for a subsequent 5-year contractual engagement, without initial guarantee of permanent employment, is essential.

Individuals seeking immediate permanent government employment or high salary packages should not apply, as this is a trainee position with a modest stipend and a potential for contractual service only after the training period. Those who do not meet the strict age limit of 25 years (as on 04 September 2026, with category-specific relaxations) or do not possess the specified SSLC and 3-year Diploma qualifications will be ineligible. Candidates with higher qualifications (e.g., B.Tech, M.Sc.) are explicitly stated as not being considered.

Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) is a premier Miniratna Schedule 'A' PSU under the Government of India, offering a stable and reputable environment for career commencement. While the initial role is a traineeship, it provides valuable exposure to the shipbuilding industry and a potential pathway to contractual employment within a significant public sector undertaking. Long-term growth prospects would depend on performance and future organizational needs, as permanent absorption is not guaranteed initially. The experience gained at CSL would be highly valuable for future career progression in similar engineering or industrial sectors.
