Hindustan Copper Fixed Tenure Executive Recruitment 2026 (43 Posts) — Applications Open Today, Last Date 5 October
Hindustan Copper Limited (HCL), Kolkata, has opened applications today, 21 September 2026, for 43 Executive posts (FTE-I to FTE-VI) on a Fixed Tenure basis, under Advertisement No. Estt./1/2036/2026-27. Vacancies span 11 disciplines — Industrial Safety, Geology, Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Medical & Health Services (M&HS), Environment Management, Mineral Processing, Finance, Human Resources, and Survey. The window closes on 5 October 2026, 11:00 PM. If you’re an experienced professional in any of these fields, this is worth a serious look given the strong consolidated pay on offer.
About the Recruitment
These are genuinely experience-driven positions across a wide range of disciplines — from technical fields like Geology and Mineral Processing to Medical & Health Services and Finance/HR roles. The engagement is initially for three years, with the possibility of extension for another three years based on requirement. Worth noting: the specific experience requirement can vary even within the same discipline — for instance, Medical & Health Services under FTE-II needs just 3 years of post-qualification experience instead of the standard 6 years elsewhere, so it’s genuinely worth checking your exact grade and discipline combination carefully rather than assuming a blanket requirement applies.
