NHIDCL Senior Associate Recruitment 2026: 25 Posts in Delhi, Apply by 19 November

The National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) has opened NHIDCL Senior Associate recruitment 2026 for 25 Senior Associate posts at its New Delhi headquarters under Recruitment Notice No. 08/2026, dated 4 November 2026. The online window on the NHIDCL Resource Pool Portal runs from 5 November 2026 at 5 p.m. to 19 November 2026 at 3 p.m., and the interview is set for 26 November 2026. The engagement is under the corporation's Young Professionals scheme, which is a fixed-term consultancy arrangement rather than a regular staff appointment.

Read the limits first, because two of them will rule out many applicants. The corporation said every area needs a mandatory minimum of two years, or 730 days, of relevant post-qualification experience in the National Highways Sector, with documentary proof showing the organisation and the exact period, and general experience cannot substitute for it. The engagement is purely contractual: selected candidates work as independent consultants, not as NHIDCL staff or employees, for a fixed term of 2 years extendable by 1 year up to a maximum of 3 years. The upper age limit is 45 years as on 4 November 2026, and the notice prints no category-wise reservation breakup and mentions no application fee.

NHIDCL Senior Associate recruitment 2026: the four areas

The Technical area holds the largest share, with 15 of the 25 posts. The corporation said Senior Associate (Technical) needs a degree in Civil Engineering from a recognised university or institute, and preference will be given to candidates holding a master's degree or equivalent in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Construction Management or other relevant allied disciplines. With 15 seats, this is the area where candidates holding documented National Highways work have the widest opening.

The remaining 10 posts are split across three specialist areas. Senior Associate (Human Resources) has 4 posts and needs an MBA in Human Resources or an equivalent qualification. Senior Associate (Legal) has 3 posts and needs an LLB or LLM, or a graduate or postgraduate degree in Law. Senior Associate (Information Technology) has 3 posts and needs a B.E. or B.Tech in Computer Science, Information Technology, Networks or Electronics and Communication, or an M.Tech in Cyber Security or Network Management, or an MCA. The corporation said the number of vacancies may increase or decrease depending on requirements, and it may cancel the process at any stage without assigning reasons.

Experience, age and pay for NHIDCL Senior Associates

All four areas need between 2 and 9 years of relevant post-qualification experience, including the mandatory minimum of two years in the National Highways Sector. The corporation said the experience proof must show the organisation and the exact period, so applicants should gather appointment letters, experience certificates and any other documents that prove the sector and the dates before starting the form. The upper age limit is 45 years as on 4 November 2026, and the notice does not print a minimum age or a category-wise age relaxation table.

The pay is a consolidated monthly consultancy fee, not a salary with allowances. The corporation said the range for Senior Associates is Rs. 80,000 to Rs. 1,50,000 per month, set under the approved scheme and approved by the competent authority based on post-qualification experience. The printed experience slabs run from Rs. 80,000 per month for up to 3 years of experience, through Rs. 98,000 for 5 to 6 years, to Rs. 1,22,000 for above 9 years. The corporation said the fee is calculated by weighting National Highways Sector experience at full value and other organisation experience at 0.65, and the fee is inclusive of all applicable taxes, with no other facility or allowance payable. An annual enhancement of 5 per cent is allowed under the scheme, payment is made monthly within 7 days after completion of the month subject to certification by the controlling officer, tax is deducted at source, and the consultant is liable for goods and services tax as applicable.
