NHAI Senior Pavement Design & Quantity Surveyor Recruitment 2026

This role is most suitable for highly experienced Civil Engineers with specialized expertise in highway/pavement design and quantity surveying, seeking high-level contractual engagements within a premier central government organization. Ideal candidates will have a proven track record of significant professional experience (20+ years for Pavement Expert, 8+ years for Quantity Surveyor) and are prepared to contribute strategically at NHAI Headquarters in New Delhi, focusing on independent project reviews, technical validation, and financial oversight of national highway projects.

Candidates who are seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these positions are strictly contractual with no provision for regularization or absorption into NHAI. Individuals lacking the specified minimum years of experience in relevant highway/pavement project domains or those uncomfortable with a contractual framework will not be suitable. The roles demand a high level of technical proficiency and commitment to specific project durations.

Working with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), a pivotal central government body responsible for India's national highway network, offers substantial prestige and the opportunity to impact critical infrastructure development. While the engagement is contractual, these senior-level positions provide an excellent platform for seasoned professionals to apply their expertise to strategic projects, enhancing their professional reputation and contributing to national growth in a highly visible sector.
