Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar (IIT Bhubaneswar) Assistant Executive Engineer Recruitment 2026 - 1 Post

IIT Bhubaneswar, located at Argul near the state capital Bhubaneswar in Odisha, has released Advertisement No. Rectt-Contract/01/Non-Teaching/2026 dated 30 July 2026, inviting online applications for the engagement of an Assistant Executive Engineer on contract, to look after HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) related works in the engineering section. The position is purely temporary and has nothing to do with any permanent position at the Institute. The initial engagement is for one year, which the Institute may extend further based on your performance and its requirement. This is a good opportunity for mechanical engineers who specialize in facility and HVAC management and want to work at a premier central government technical institute. IIT Bhubaneswar is one of the second-generation Indian Institutes of Technology, and its campus depends on properly functioning HVAC systems to keep classrooms, laboratories, hostels and administrative buildings comfortable throughout the year. This role sits in the Institute's non-teaching technical cadre, working alongside the Engineering Section rather than the academic departments, so your day-to-day work will focus on facility management rather than teaching or research. The Institute campus is located at Argul, Bhubaneswar – 752050, Odisha, and this is where you will be based if selected.

Who Can Apply?

• Qualification: B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering with a minimum of 6.5 CGPA or 60% marks from a recognized University or Institute.
• Experience: At least 6 years of service in HVAC-related works. Your experience will not be considered without a valid experience certificate, so make sure you have this document ready before applying.
• Desirable: Prior experience in managing a central AC/Chiller plant will strengthen your application, though it is not compulsory.

Since this is a contract engagement rather than a permanent post, IIT Bhubaneswar is primarily looking for someone who can step in and manage HVAC operations with minimal training — that is why 6 years of hands-on HVAC experience is set as a mandatory requirement rather than a preferred one. If you have handled large chiller plants, central air conditioning systems, or campus-wide HVAC maintenance contracts before, you are well suited for this role.

Age Limit

• Maximum age limit is 45 years, counted as on the last date of the online application.

Salary

• You will get a consolidated remuneration of Rs. 85,000 per month for this contract position.
• This is a fixed consolidated figure — the notification does not mention any separate DA, HRA or other allowances on top of this amount.

Selection Process

Selection will be made through the following step:

1. Test and/or Interview: The Institute may call shortlisted candidates for a technical test, an interview, or both, based on your qualifications and experience.

In case of any dispute or ambiguity in the selection process, the decision of the Director, IIT Bhubaneswar shall be final and binding. There is no fixed exam pattern published for this role, so focus on presenting your HVAC project experience clearly if you are called for a test or interview.
