Selection Process
No selection method is described. The notice only says the Management may set criteria to limit the number of candidates. In practice that means shortlisting from CVs, so make sure yours shows the exact years, voltage levels, project sizes and PMC or externally aided project time your post asks for, and keep proof of each.
How to Apply
Get the prescribed CV format from the WAPCOS official website and fill it in for the one post you qualify for. CVs in any other layout are rejected. Write the post name exactly as printed, along with the section (India or overseas); for overseas roles, add the post number too, since two posts share the title Project Manager. Email the CV with self-attested copies of your date of birth, qualification, experience and category proof to tdp@wapcos.co.in on or before 07 November 2026. Keep originals ready for joining. If you work in a government department, PSU or autonomous body, start arranging your no objection or relieving certificate now.
