Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the exact definition of 'Work Inspector' in the PHED?

A Work Inspector in the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) is typically a technical Group 'C' position responsible for the **supervision, measurement, and quality control** of various public works, especially those related to water supply, sanitation, and civil construction projects executed by the department. They work under engineers and oversee the work of labourers and contractors, ensuring compliance with specifications and drawings (often related to the ITI trades like Plumber and Draftsman Civil/Surveyor).

Can I apply if I have an ITI in a trade other than Draftsman Civil, Surveyor, or Plumber?

No. The essential qualification specified in the short notification strictly requires an ITI certificate in **Draftsman Civil, Surveyor, or Plumber** trade. Candidates with ITI in unrelated trades (like Electrician, Fitter, etc.) will not be considered eligible for this specific Work Inspector recruitment, as the job role is linked to civil and public health engineering tasks.
