Recruitment Overview

Is This Job for You?

You should consider applying if you are a regular or contractual officer currently serving in Central Government Departments, Ministry of Railways, Central PSUs, SPVs, or Metro Railways, and have a relevant engineering or IT degree. The roles offer high-level organizational responsibility and the opportunity to work directly on India’s premier Bullet Train infrastructure projects.

You should skip this if your experience is entirely in the private sector or as a freelancer, as only candidates with current government/PSU/metro service records are eligible. Also skip if you intend to apply for multiple posts, as candidates can submit an application for only one post across the entire notification range.

The roles are divided between technology functions (IT infrastructure, AFC ticket barriers, data analytics, and cloud databases) and safety management functions (oversight of civil structures, signalling safety, traction lines, and rolling stock operations).
