PWD Jobs 2026: Public Works Department Recruitment
The Public Works Department (PWD) is each state's primary infrastructure agency, responsible for building and maintaining roads, bridges, and government buildings. PWD recruits Junior Engineer (Civil), Assistant Engineer, Draftsman, and Work Assistant/Overseer posts through the respective state's Public Service Commission or a dedicated subordinate engineering services board, entirely separate from central recruitment bodies like SSC.
Eligibility for Junior Engineer (Civil) is a diploma in Civil Engineering; Assistant Engineer requires a B.E./B.Tech in Civil Engineering; Draftsman posts require a diploma or ITI certificate in Draughtsman (Civil) trade. PWD JE and AE posts involve site supervision, estimate preparation, and quality control of ongoing construction projects across the state.
Selection follows a state-level written exam (technical Civil Engineering paper plus General Studies/Reasoning) conducted by the state PSC or engineering services board, followed by document verification and, for some posts, an interview. PWD JE/AE posts carry standard state Group B/C engineering-cadre pay scales, with a defined promotion path to Executive Engineer through seniority and departmental exams.
