ESIC PMU ICT Professionals 2026 — 25 Posts, Apply by 30 Sep

ESIC PMU ICT Professionals Recruitment 2026 (25 Posts), Apply via Email by approximately 30 September 2026 in Delhi. Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) has released Advertisement File No. A-12016/23/2025-E-III inviting email applications for 25 professional posts in the Project Management Unit (PMU) of its ICT Division, covering Project Director, IT Operations Lead, Cyber Security roles, Database Administrators, Application Engineers, Network Engineers, and more. This ESIC job 2026 opportunity is for engineering/IT professionals on a full-time, fixed-term contractual basis at ESIC Headquarters, New Delhi. Eligible candidates holding the position-specific qualification and experience below can apply via email before the closing date. Employees' State Insurance Corporation runs one of India's largest social security schemes, providing medical and cash benefits to insured workers, and this recruitment builds out a dedicated Project Management Unit to modernise the Corporation's IT backbone across four functional pillars: IT Operations & Infrastructure, Cyber Security, Vendor/Procurement & Project Management, and Applications/Database/Networking. The lead-engineer-specialist structure repeated within each pillar — a Lead overseeing strategy with 12 years' experience, supported by Engineers/Specialists bringing 6 years of hands-on technical depth — mirrors how large enterprise IT teams are typically organised, and this same structure recurring four times across the notification is why the vacancy count runs to a full 25 distinct designations rather than a handful of generic IT posts. Selected PMU professionals will support ESIC's IT operations, cyber security, infrastructure, applications, database, and networking functions from New Delhi, though the engagement may involve transfer anywhere in India. The ESIC 2026 selection process is based on the recommendation of a Selection Committee, with candidates called for an Interview based on the eligibility details furnished in the application; mere submission does not confer any right to be called for interview. The remuneration for ESIC PMU ICT 2026 ranges from ₹80,000 to ₹3,30,000 per month, consolidated and inclusive of all taxes, varying by position. Applications must be sent by email only, in the prescribed format with all documents in PDF, to the address specified in the official notification, within 21 days of the advertisement's publication on 09 September 2026 — approximately 30 September 2026. No application fee has been specified in the notification. Candidates must read the complete official ESIC notification PDF at esic.gov.in before applying, since candidates who already interviewed against the previous advertisement dated 23 February 2026 for the same positions are not required to reapply, and the engagement is a 3-year fixed-term contract, extendable up to 5 years.
