Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation Limited (GMRCL), the joint venture between the Government of India and the Government of Gujarat responsible for building and operating Gujarat’s metro network, has thrown open 48 posts across its Civil Engineering vertical. The openings span an unusually wide hierarchy, from senior leadership roles like Chief General Manager and Additional General Manager down to entry-level Engineer, Draftsman, and Surveyor positions, giving candidates at almost every career stage a route in.
What makes the GMRC Recruitment 2026 drive notable is its flexible hiring structure: posts are filled through contract, deputation, or post-superannuation engagement, and the pay bands, age limits, and experience requirements all shift depending on which route a candidate is considered under. With the application window closing on 3 October 2026 and a purely online process that cannot be edited once submitted, candidates should prepare every supporting document in advance rather than rushing at the last moment.
28 years (Draftsman/Surveyor) to 57-62 years (CGM/GM, depending on engagement mode)
Pay Scale
Rs. 30,000 up to Rs. 2,80,000 depending on post (IDA scales for senior posts)

Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility is graded by seniority. Entry-level Engineer (Senior/Junior Grade) posts require a B.E./B.Tech in Civil Engineering with 2-3 years of post-qualification experience, while Draftsman and Surveyor posts need a 3-year Diploma in Civil Engineering with 3 years of relevant AutoCAD/design or survey experience. Mid-level posts such as Assistant Manager, Manager, Deputy General Manager, and Senior Deputy General Manager require the same B.E./B.Tech base qualification but progressively longer experience, ranging from 5-7 years for Assistant Manager up to 11-15 years for Senior DGM, with government/PSU experience requirements set slightly lower than private-sector requirements at each level. The most senior posts, Joint GM, Additional GM, and Chief General Manager/General Manager, need 14 to 23 years of relevant civil engineering leadership experience. GMRC gives preference to candidates with at least 3 years of prior Gujarat experience and working knowledge of the Gujarati language, and reserves the right to offer a lower-grade position than the one applied for.
