SMP Kolkata Chief Engineer Recruitment 2026

SMP Kolkata Chief Engineer Recruitment 2026: Overview

Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata (SMP Kolkata) is filling the Chief Engineer position in the Marine Operations Division at Haldia Dock Complex. The circular is addressed to Major Ports and offers absorption or deputation for serving officers. If you are considering the move, your current port must take part in forwarding your application.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Deputation term: The initial period is three years from taking charge. It can extend to four years, or exceptionally to five years with Ministry approval.
• Service rules: The circular includes the proposed recruitment regulations and Haldia Dock Complex deputation conditions. Read the provisions for absorption and deputation when comparing your current appointment with the advertised position.
• Proper channel: An advance copy does not secure your candidature on its own. Your complete application must also arrive through the prescribed official channel within the closing window.
• Acceptance: You must undertake not to withdraw if the Service Selection Committee selects you. The application declaration also commits you to accepting the appointment and posting.
• Leave administration: Your parent organisation's leave rules continue to apply during deputation. The port maintains the leave account using information from that organisation and communicates leave sanctions to it.
• Returning to your employer: On release from deputation, you must first rejoin your parent organisation before proceeding on leave. The port cannot directly send you on leave at that point.
• Early return: Premature reversion normally involves three months' advance notice to both you and your parent organisation. The Ministry can return an officer without that notice in exceptional circumstances.
• Departmental proceedings: The port may return you to your parent organisation if a departmental inquiry needs to begin during deputation. Other service matters follow the applicable port rules and orders.
• Changes to conditions: Relaxing the deputation terms needs prior Ministry agreement. Do not assume an individual variation has been approved unless it is formally confirmed.

Application Submission Notes

Send the prescribed application through your employer to Sr. Dy. Manager (P&IR), Jawahar Tower, P.O. Haldia Township, Dist. Purba Medinipur, West Bengal 721607. Mark the envelope “Application for the post of Chief Engineer under Marine Operations Division, HDC, SMPA on Absorption / Deputation”.

The forwarding authority's certificate is essential: the port will not consider an application without it. Your employer should check the application before forwarding it, because incomplete applications, late arrivals and applications outside the prescribed procedure will not be considered.
