RITES Assistant Manager Recruitment 2026 is a focused drive for mechanical engineers with serious shop-floor experience, and its window is short. Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES) has advertised 27 Assistant Manager (Mechanical) posts under vacancy circulars CL/09/26, CL/10/26 and CL/11/26, with online applications running from 30-10-2026 to 20-11-2026 and a written test on 29-11-2026. If you carry eight years of quality-assurance experience, this one deserves an application — but check the certification condition for your level before you pay the fee.

These are contract posts in mechanical quality assurance, quality control and testing, and the monthly pay ranges from ₹24,258 to ₹38,085 depending on the post. Note that this drive is separate from the RITES retired-employee notice for Nawa City (VC 76/26 to 84/26) — do not mix up the two sets of vacancy circulars.
All three levels ask for a full-time diploma or B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, plus a minimum of eight years of post-qualification experience in QA / QC / testing work. The higher levels add a certification condition: Assistant Manager (Mechanical-II) and (Mechanical-III) also require ASNT / ISNT Level-II certification in UT or MPT, as prescribed for the post. Age and experience are counted as on the last date of application, 20-11-2026, and the notice carries the post-wise age limits.
Post-wise age limits are prescribed in the notification, counted as on 20-11-2026, with relaxations for reserved categories as per government rules. Check the limit for your level before applying, since the three levels do not share a single age band.
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| General | ₹600 |
| SC / ST | ₹300 |
Selection begins with the written test on 29-11-2026. Further stages, if any, follow the notification for the post applied for, so candidates should track the RITES careers page after the test for shortlisting and verification updates.
