Udupi Cochin Shipyard Limited (UCSL), a subsidiary of Cochin Shipyard Limited, has opened online applications for the post of Supervisor (Mechanical) to support its shipbuilding and repair operations. This recruitment offers a structured, multi-year contractual pay progression, making it an attractive option for diploma holders and experienced ITI tradesmen from the marine and engineering sectors.
The UCSL Supervisor Mechanical Recruitment 2026 drive will fill four vacancies through a two-phase selection process that combines a written test with a practical presentation on work experience, ensuring that only candidates with genuine hands-on exposure to shipyard or heavy engineering environments move ahead. Unlike many walk-in notices in this space, this one requires candidates to apply entirely online through UCSL’s dedicated recruitment portal.
There are two eligibility routes for this post. Diploma holders must have a three-year Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from a State Board of Technical Education, with a minimum of seven years’ post-qualification experience in shipbuilding/repair, engineering, offshore platforms, or marine-related companies, including at least two years in a supervisory role. Alternatively, ITI (NTC) holders in trades such as Welding, Sheet Metal Worker, Bench Fitter, Fitter, or Plumber from an NCVT/SCVT-recognised institute must have a minimum of fifteen years’ post-qualification experience in relevant fields, including at least three years in a supervisory capacity.
Selection Process
Phase I: Written Test comprising an Objective section (40 marks) and a Descriptive section (40 marks)
Phase II: PowerPoint presentation on the candidate’s work experience (20 marks)
Combined marks from both phases used to prepare the final merit list
Document verification of shortlisted/selected candidates
Application Fee
General/OBC candidates: Rs. 300
SC/ST candidates: Exempted (no fee)
