SMPK Chief Hydraulic Engineer Recruitment 2026

SMPK Chief Hydraulic Engineer Recruitment 2026: Overview

Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata (SMPK) is recruiting a Chief Hydraulic Engineer to head its Hydraulic Study Department under the Kolkata Dock System. This is a deputation appointment for serving officers from government, semi-government, public sector or autonomous organisations outside the Major Port Authorities.

The circular brings together the proposed recruitment rules and detailed deputation terms for the Head of Department position. If you are considering the move, the borrowing organisation's conditions and your parent organisation's forwarding arrangements both matter.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Tenure: The initial deputation lasts three years and may be extended by up to two years. An extension is a possibility under the stated terms, rather than a guaranteed continuation.
• Recruitment route: The attached rules describe several appointment routes, but this circular specifically seeks deputation from organisations other than Major Port Authorities. Read your current employment status against this circular.
• Leave arrangements: Your parent organisation's leave rules continue to apply. Kolkata Dock System keeps the leave account using the records supplied by your employer and informs that organisation when leave is sanctioned.
• Return to your employer: An early return normally involves three months' advance notice to you and your parent organisation. In exceptional circumstances, the port may return your services without that advance notice.
• Departmental proceedings: The port may send you back to your parent organisation if a departmental inquiry needs to begin during deputation.
• Service framework: Matters not covered by the listed deputation conditions follow SMPK's existing rules and orders. Any relaxation of those conditions needs the port's prior approval.
• After deputation: The borrowing organisation's deputation terms apply while you serve with SMPK. Your parent organisation's relevant rules govern you again when you return.
• Acceptance: The application includes an undertaking that you will not withdraw your candidature if selected. Make sure this commitment fits your plans before applying.
