MECL Non-Executive Recruitment 2026: Overview

Mineral Exploration and Consultancy Limited (MECL), a Miniratna-I public sector enterprise under the Ministry of Mines, is building its non-executive workforce for the corporate office, project sites and offices across India. The notice combines technical field work, workshop trades, driving, finance and office-support roles in one recruitment. Some positions suit fresh graduates, while the operational and finance posts need the post-qualification experience stated for that role.

MECL works on mineral exploration projects, so several jobs can take you beyond a conventional office setting. Project headquarters may be in towns, but work sites can be in nearby villages or remote field areas with fewer everyday facilities. You should choose the post that matches both your qualification and your readiness for the working environment.

Posts and Disciplines

  • Accounts and materials: Accountant, Assistant (Accounts) and Assistant (Materials) support financial records, SAP-linked work, purchasing and stores.
  • Survey, sampling and laboratory: Technicians handle field measurements, drill-core or mine samples, and chemical, petrological or mineralogical laboratory work.
  • Drilling operations: Technician (Drilling) and Mechanic-cum-Operator (Drilling) work with drill rigs, drill strings, tools and site troubleshooting.
  • Workshop and electrical trades: Electrician, Machinist and Mechanic roles cover wiring, machinery, precision machining and maintenance of exploration equipment.
  • Office support: Assistant posts in Hindi, IT and HR, along with Stenographer (English), support language, systems, people operations and correspondence.
  • Transport: Junior Drivers operate light and heavy vehicles and handle routine vehicle checks and minor repairs.

Post-wise Duties

Technical and Field Teams

You will carry out surveying, sampling, laboratory analysis or drilling support according to your trade. Field roles involve careful logs, safe tool handling and reliable work at project sites where terrain and facilities may vary.

Workshop, Electrical and Transport Teams

You will inspect, operate and maintain rigs, machines, electrical systems or company vehicles. The work calls for practical fault finding, correct use of protective equipment and prompt reporting of defects that could interrupt project operations.

Accounts and Office Teams

You will manage accounts, materials, HR records, IT support, Hindi work or stenography, depending on your post. Accuracy, organised records and coordination with field offices are important because MECL projects run at several locations.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Posting: you may be placed at any MECL project, office or establishment in India, or overseas when the company needs it.
  • Field readiness: project work sites may be in remote areas with fewer amenities than cities.
  • Probation: the initial period is one year and may be extended by up to another year; confirmation needs a written order.
  • Medical fitness: appointment depends on fitness certified by a government medical officer.
  • Application limit: you can apply for only one post under this advertisement, and the latest application number is considered if you register more than once for that post.
  • Travel: MECL does not pay travel allowance for the test, document check or skill or trade test.
  • Updates: corrigenda and shortlists will appear only in the Careers section of the MECL website, so check it regularly.

Responsibilities

  • Carry out the technical, trade, finance, administrative, or driving work assigned to the selected post
  • Maintain accurate field logs, laboratory records, accounts, stores, HR files, or vehicle records
  • Operate tools, machinery, drilling equipment, computer systems, or vehicles safely as applicable
  • Inspect equipment and report faults, unsafe conditions, data errors, or stock issues promptly
  • Follow project-site safety rules and use the required personal protective equipment
