MRVC Project Engineer Recruitment 2026 Apply by Email

Recruitment overview

MRVC has announced recruitment for the post of Project Engineer (Bridge) on contract basis. This recruitment is for 2 vacancies and is governed by Advertisement No. MRVC/E/PE/17/2026 dated 15 April 2026.

The role is bridge-specific and is not a broad engineering opening across all civil works. The experience requirement in the notice points strongly toward practical knowledge of steel bridge fabrication or inspection work in railway or comparable infrastructure organizations.

Important dates

The official notification is dated 15 April 2026, and the last date for submission of application by email is 14 May 2026. Applicants should not wait for the last day because the process requires a complete application with supporting documents.

Vacancy details

The recruitment is for 2 posts of Project Engineer (Bridge). The notice available publicly does not clearly confirm a category-wise reservation breakup in the source details used for this article, so candidates should treat the total vacancy count of 2 as the confirmed figure.

Since the post is technical and narrowly defined, candidates should focus on matching the exact bridge-related eligibility instead of applying based only on a general engineering degree.

Educational qualification

Candidates can apply through either the diploma route or the degree route. In both cases, the qualification must be from a recognized AICTE institution and the candidate must have scored at least 60% marks.

• Diploma in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Metallurgical Engineering with minimum 60% marks.
• Or B.E./B.Tech in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Metallurgical Engineering with minimum 60% marks.
• Proficiency in MS Office is also required.

Because the notification names only these branches, applicants from other engineering disciplines should not assume they are eligible unless their qualification is officially treated as equivalent.

Experience requirement and relevant work profile

The notice makes a clear distinction between diploma holders and B.E./B.Tech holders. A diploma holder must have at least 6 years of post-qualification experience, while a B.E./B.Tech holder must have at least 3 years of post-qualification experience.

The experience should be relevant to steel fabrication or inspection work associated with bridge projects. The publicly available notice summary points to experience in RDSO workshops or steel fabrication and inspection work in Railway, PSU, Metro, NHAI or similar organizations.

Candidates should list only relevant experience properly. The official notice also indicates that experience not relevant to the post need not be included, so applicants should keep the work profile focused and factual.

Age limit

The upper age limit for the Project Engineer (Bridge) post is 35 years. Candidates should calculate their eligibility carefully with reference to the notification timeline.

The source details available publicly do not fully reproduce the complete age-relaxation table for this specific bridge advertisement in a readable official page format. Because of that, applicants should rely on the official notification copy for any category-based relaxation before submitting the application.

Salary, pay scale and contract terms

The post is placed in IDA equivalent E1 grade with a pay scale of Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 1,40,000. The basic pay mentioned for the role is Rs. 40,000 per month.

The official search snippet for the bridge notification also indicates that selected candidates will initially be engaged as Project Engineer (Bridge), and after completion of one year they are to be designated as Senior Project Engineer. Candidates should still read the official PDF directly for the full terms attached to this progression, because designation change does not automatically explain every pay and benefit condition by itself.

Selection process

The selection process is based on screening and shortlisting rather than a mass written exam model. The available recruitment details indicate that MRVC will first screen applications and shortlist candidates based on marks in engineering qualification and relevant experience.

1. Preliminary screening of applications.
2. Shortlisting based on engineering marks and relevant experience.
3. Document verification.
4. Personal interaction or interview.
5. Final merit or panel preparation.

This means candidates should not treat the application as a formality. A weakly written experience summary can reduce the chance of getting shortlisted even if the minimum eligibility is technically met.

How to apply

The application mode for this recruitment is email. Candidates have to send the completed application and required documents to career@mrvc.gov.in on or before 14 May 2026.

1. Read the official notification carefully and confirm branch, marks and experience eligibility.
2. Prepare a complete bio-data with personal details, qualification and relevant experience.
3. Attach self-attested copies of educational and experience documents.
4. Mention the post applied for clearly in the subject line of the email.
5. Send the application to career@mrvc.gov.in before the closing date.

Candidates should keep the application focused on bridge-related steel fabrication and inspection experience. Adding unrelated experience may not help and can make the profile less clear.

Documents to keep ready before sending the email

The application should be complete in all respects. Since this is an email-based recruitment, candidates should prepare readable scanned copies and also keep originals ready for later verification if shortlisted.

• Updated bio-data or CV.
• Qualification certificates and mark sheets.
• Proof of percentage or marks meeting the minimum 60% requirement.
• Experience certificates showing relevant post-qualification bridge, steel fabrication or inspection work.
• Date of birth proof and identity proof.
• Recent passport-size photograph, if asked in the application format.
• Any category certificate, if applicable and claimed.

The publicly available details also suggest that applicants should provide a separate clear statement of relevant experience. That is useful here because the role is highly specialized and shortlist decisions are likely to depend heavily on work relevance.

What applicants should check before applying

This is one of those recruitments where many applicants may meet the educational qualification but still miss the actual intent of the post. The strongest candidates are likely to be those who can show direct experience in steel bridge fabrication, erection support, inspection or similar infrastructure execution environments.

• Check that your engineering branch is one of the three named branches.
• Confirm that your marks are at least 60%.
• Count only post-qualification experience.
• Make sure the experience is relevant to bridge-related steel fabrication or inspection work.
• Do not assume that general site experience automatically qualifies as relevant experience.
• Send the email before 14 May 2026 and keep proof of submission.

If any point in your experience profile is borderline, it is better to present it honestly and clearly rather than stretch the description. This recruitment is technical enough that inflated claims are easy to detect at the shortlisting or interview stage.
