RITES Limited, a Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Railways, released a recruitment notification on 3 September 2026 on its official website, www.rites.com, inviting applications for six categories of Engineering Professionals on a regular basis. Online applications open on 3 September 2026 and close on 30 September 2026. The recruitment does not carry a single overarching notification number — each post is identified by its own Vacancy Circular (VC) number, RG/19/26 to RG/24/26, which candidates must quote in all correspondence with RITES. The posts suit experienced civil engineers and architects with structural, public health, healthcare, building or metro rail design backgrounds.
RITES is hiring for 12 vacancies in total across one DGM post and five categories of Assistant Manager posts, with a full discipline-wise breakdown given further below. The place of posting is not restricted to one city — selected candidates are liable for posting anywhere in India and abroad. Candidates should check all details in the article below.

About RITES Limited
RITES Ltd. is a Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Railways, Government of India. It works as a multi-disciplinary consultancy organisation in transport, infrastructure and related technologies, headquartered at Shikhar, Plot No. 1, Sector-29, Gurgaon. This recruitment is for engineering and architecture professionals to work on building, public health, healthcare and metro rail infrastructure projects, reporting to RITES’ regular technical cadre. For candidates on the Government Jobs track, a Navratna PSU role of this kind combines central government service conditions with project-based technical work.
What this recruitment means for candidates outside Delhi-NCR
This is an all-India recruitment run out of RITES’ Gurgaon head office, not a state-specific one, so it belongs with the site’s Latest Jobs (All India) coverage rather than a regional category. It differs from most postings on this site in one important way: it targets experienced professionals, not freshers or recent graduates — every post requires a minimum of two years’ post-qualification experience, and the DGM post requires eleven.
The notification lists six written-test centres: Delhi/Gurgaon, Kolkata, Bangalore, Mumbai, Bhubaneswar and Guwahati. This is added context, not part of the official notification: for candidates based in West Bengal, Sikkim, North Bengal or the North East, the Kolkata and Guwahati centres mean the written test can potentially be taken without travelling to Delhi — confirm actual centre allotment with RITES, since only the Delhi/Gurgaon centre is confirmed and the rest are tentative.
Important dates
| Particulars | Date |

Should you apply?
This recruitment suits experienced Civil Engineering or Architecture graduates already working in structural design, public health engineering, healthcare architecture, building design or metro rail planning — not fresh graduates, since every post needs at least 2 years of relevant post-qualification experience, and the DGM post needs 11. Five of the six posts have only one vacancy each, which makes competition tight regardless of category; RG/23/26 (Architect / Building Expert) is the only post with multiple openings, at 7. The DGM post skips the written test and goes straight to an interview, which suits senior candidates confident in a technical and personality-based interview; the five Assistant Manager posts add a 125-question written test first. One real trade-off worth weighing: selected candidates are liable for posting anywhere in India or abroad, and confirmation depends on clearing a screening test at the end of a one-year probation. Set against that is the standard PSU benefit structure — DA, HRA or lease accommodation, provident fund, gratuity, post-retirement medical scheme, and pay protection for candidates already in government or PSU service. This assessment is added context, not part of the official notification.
