Deputy Manager - 135 Posts at E-4 Grade, 10 Years' Power Sector Experience Required | NTPC Limited

About this job

NTPC is recruiting 135 Deputy Managers at E-4 level across Electrical, Mechanical and Control & Instrumentation, on a scale of Rs 70,000 to Rs 2,00,000 a month. This is a mid-career opening, not an entry-level one, and the bar is high enough that most readers of this board will not clear it: NTPC asks for a minimum of ten years of post-qualification executive experience in the power sector, specifically in coal, gas or lignite generation. Two years of that is relaxed for SC and ST candidates. If you do not already work in power generation, this advertisement is not for you. We are listing it because the handful of engineers from J&K who do qualify - people working in NTPC itself, in NHPC, in other generation utilities or with EPC contractors on power projects - would otherwise not see it, and the window is short. Applications close on 26 August 2026. Posting can be at any NTPC station, project, joint venture or subsidiary, and all posts are transferable at management's discretion.

What you'll do

• Work at E-4 executive level in Operation, Maintenance, Commissioning, Erection, Engineering, Energy Efficiency, Project Management or Field Quality within your discipline
• Accept posting at any NTPC station, project, joint venture or subsidiary in the country
• Clear a medical examination by the NTPC Medical Board before joining - its decision is final and no relaxation in health standards is allowed
• Serve in a transferable cadre, with transfers at the sole discretion of management

• Upper limit 40 years for all three posts, computed as on 26 August 2026. Relaxation of five years for SC and ST, three for OBC-NCL, ten for PwBD, and as per government guidelines for Ex-Servicemen.
• SELECTION
• Shortlisting or screening on qualification, percentage of marks and years of post-qualification experience, followed by a written or computer-based test, a personal interview, or a combination - the sequence is at NTPC's discretion. Meeting the minimum eligibility confers no right to be shortlisted, and NTPC reserves the right to raise the bar above the advertised minimum.
• DOCUMENTS TO UPLOAD - INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS ARE REJECTED
