MECON FTFT Recruitment 2026 - Apply Online for 159 Jr. Engineer, Asst. Engineer and More Posts

Engineers with specialized experience in plant design, safety execution, quality control, refractory, or project management should review the exact post-wise experience criteria before filling the form. Junior Engineer positions require 1 to 2 years of field experience, whereas senior posts like Additional Engineer and Safety Engineer demand 10 to 16 years of hands-on expertise.

Candidates must verify their precise age eligibility as on the cutoff date using the official age calculator before submitting their details.

• Junior Engineer: Consolidated monthly pay ranging from ₹42,800 to ₹45,050.
• Deputy Engineer / Assistant Engineer: Consolidated monthly pay ranging from ₹43,880 to ₹54,990.
• Additional Engineer / Safety Engineer: Consolidated monthly pay ranging from ₹67,860 to ₹78,390.

Positions advertised under FTFT (Fixed Term Fixed Tenure) receive a consolidated monthly remuneration package. Since these are contract-based tenure roles rather than permanent Pay Level posts, standard regular benefits like NPS or PF deductions operate as per contractual engagement rules. Statutory income tax deductions apply to the monthly earnings. Candidates can compute expected net pay using the salary calculator.

Submitting unreadable or improper scans of post-qualification experience certificates is a primary reason applications get rejected during screening. Candidates must ensure that experience letters explicitly mention the exact tenure, designation, and nature of duties performed. Uploading photograph or signature files that fail to meet prescribed dimensions will lead to portal errors, so candidates should format files using the recommended resizer tool. Entering inaccurate marks or calculating experience incorrectly against the cutoff date will also cause disqualification during document verification. Additionally, claiming category relaxation without presenting a valid certificate issued by a competent authority in the prescribed format will lead to immediate rejection.

Selected candidates will undergo document verification at MECON headquarters or designated regional offices. After clearing the pre-employment medical examination, candidates will be issued engagement letters specifying the tenure and place of posting. Initial postings can be at MECON offices, project sites, or client locations spread across India depending on operational requirements. The realistic timeline from the interview stage to final joining ranges between 2 and 4 months.
