OFT JTO and Hindi Typist Recruitment 2026: Overview

Ordnance Factory Tiruchirappalli (OFT), a unit of Advanced Weapons and Equipment India Limited (AWEIL), is recruiting a Junior Translation Officer and a Hindi Typist for its Rajbhasha section in Tamil Nadu. These fixed-term contract roles support official-language work and office administration.

Posts and Disciplines

  • Junior Translation Officer (JTO): Handles translation, Hindi drafting and coordination connected with official-language policy.
  • Hindi Typist: Supports Hindi document preparation, reporting and computer-based publication work in the same section.

Post-wise Duties

Junior Translation Officer

You will translate official letters, documents and records between English and Hindi. The role also includes Hindi notes and publications, official-language reports, and coordination with the Town Official Language Implementation Committee (TOLIC).

Hindi Typist

You will prepare Hindi documents on a computer and help with reports on official-language implementation. You will also use office software and support magazine preparation and design.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Contract: The engagement begins with a one-year term and ends automatically when that term finishes. It gives you no claim to regular employee status.
  • Project link: The annexure also links employment to the project and its permitted term. Read the final agreement carefully to understand when your engagement ends.
  • Ending the engagement: Either side can give one month's notice, or the basic-pay and dearness-allowance components specified in the contract instead.
  • Working hours: Work follows the production schedule, normally eight hours a day and six days a week. Company holidays follow those available to regular employees.
  • Leave: Paid leave is proportionate to service, up to twelve days a year. Unused leave cannot be carried forward or exchanged for cash.
  • Performance: OFT reviews your work every half year. A poor rating brings a written three-month improvement period; continued poor performance can lead to termination with fifteen days' notice.
  • Accommodation: Company quarters depend on availability. You must vacate them when the contract ends or is terminated.
  • Workplace rules: Company rules govern conduct and assigned work. Unauthorised absence leads to proportionate pay deductions.

Application Submission Notes

Send the prescribed paper form by Speed Post or courier to The Chief General Manager, Ordnance Factory Tiruchirappalli, Tiruchirappalli 620016. State the post on the envelope; the notice accepts hard-copy applications only.
