SMP Kolkata Multi Post Recruitment 2026: Overview
Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata (SMP Kolkata) is engaging a Special Officer and an Office Assistant on contract under PSO in the Kolkata Dock System. These roles support the port’s security operations and the office work behind them. The engagement brings operational security support and clerical support into the same recruitment notice.
Posts and Disciplines
- Special Officer: Work with the Security Consultant on port security matters covering the Kolkata Dock System and Haldia Dock Complex.
- Office Assistant: Support the office through clerical work, data entry and accessible records, with security-related office work forming the setting for the role.
Post-wise Duties
Special Officer
You will help the Security Consultant with operational matters across the port’s dock systems. Your work also includes security records, typing, stenography and security tasks that can take you into both the field and the office.
Office Assistant
You will handle clerical tasks and data entry for the office. Keeping information up to date and files easy to find is a central part of the work, so colleagues can retrieve the records they need.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Contract: The engagement is provisionally for three years. Renewal depends on a performance review, and any fresh contract after that needs mutually agreed terms.
- Workplace: Your head office will be at Strand Road, Kolkata, but the port can assign work anywhere within its jurisdiction.
- Working arrangements: You will follow the practice at your assigned workplace. Work on a weekly rest day or national holiday brings a compensatory rest day, without extra compensation.
- Confidentiality: Port information and official systems must be used for authorised work. You must return records and property when leaving and cannot retain confidential copies.
- Outside work: Other paid work, private practice, business or consulting needs prior written permission from the port.
- Accommodation: Unfurnished port housing may be available on payment of the applicable charges and deposit. You must vacate within one month after the contract ends.
- Leave: The contract provides 15 days of approved leave each year and up to 10 days of certified sick leave per twelve-month period. Limited carry-forward of unused sick leave is allowed within the contract tenure.
- Ending the contract: Either side can give one month’s notice. The notice also permits termination on 24 hours’ notice for unsatisfactory performance or conduct harmful to the port’s interests.
- Accuracy: False declarations or discrepancies found in background checks can end the engagement without notice or compensation.
