EIL Associate Engineer Recruitment 2026: Engineers India Limited, the Navratna consultancy behind engineering, procurement and construction management for major oil, gas and power projects, is bringing in 15 experienced Planning Engineers on a fixed-term basis. The roles sit in Project Controls, Planning & Scheduling — meaning this notification suits engineers who already live inside Primavera P6 or MS Project, not fresh graduates.
What makes this one slightly different from a typical PSU drive is the hiring format: it’s online registration first, but the actual interview is a walk-in, so shortlisting happens fast and candidates need physical documents ready well before the interview date is announced.
