SJVN Executive Recruitment 2026 — 21 Engineer, Deputy Manager Posts, Apply by 26 Aug (Bihar)

Is SJVN Executive Recruitment 2026 out? Yes — SJVN Limited, a Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Power, has released Advertisement No. 127/2026 for 21 vacancies of Chief General Manager, Deputy Manager, and Engineer across Electrical, Mechanical, C&I, and Chemical disciplines. What is SJVN recruiting for? These posts sit within SJVN's wholly-owned subsidiary STPL, which is executing the 1320 MW Buxar Thermal Power Project in Bihar — a major state infrastructure project offering senior and mid-level engineers a chance to join a landmark thermal power build. This is an experience-heavy recruitment rather than an entry-level one: Engineer (E2) posts require a minimum 3 years of post-qualification experience with at least 1 year specifically in Super Critical Thermal Power Plants of 660MW capacity or above, Deputy Manager (E4) requires 7 years (3 years Super Critical), and Chief General Manager (E8a) requires a substantial 27 years (8 years Super Critical). Government/CPSE candidates must currently draw an equivalent IDA pay scale, while private sector candidates need a CTC of at least Rs. 13.62 lakhs (E4/E2) or Rs. 27 lakhs (E8a) per annum, working at a company with a minimum Rs. 2,500 crore average annual turnover — a high bar designed to attract genuinely senior thermal power professionals. Selected candidates will be placed on SJVN's IDA pay scale, ranging from Rs. 50,000 per month (Engineer) up to Rs. 1,20,000 per month (Chief General Manager), plus a strong benefits package including 35% cafeteria allowances, HRA or company accommodation, provident fund, and performance-related pay. The SJVN 2026 online application is available at sjvn.nic.in, with the portal opening 5 August 2026 and closing 26 August 2026 (11:59 PM); candidates must also send a printed copy along with certificates and the fee receipt to SJVN's Shimla headquarters by 15 September 2026.
