DPDC Job Circular 2026 – Quick Overview

Position and Key Responsibilities

The Executive Director (Tech.), Engineering is described in the official circular as the Chief Technical Officer of DPDC. The appointee will report directly to the Managing Director and participate in the company’s management team, supporting overall performance coordination. This is a senior strategic role rather than an entry-level engineering vacancy. Applicants should have substantial leadership experience in the power sector and the ability to coordinate technical, planning, project and corporate-management matters.

Educational Qualification

Applicants must be graduates in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Electrical and Electronics Engineering from a recognised university or institute. Candidates who studied under a grading system must have at least CGPA 3.5 on a 5.0 scale or CGPA 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. Candidates from the conventional class/division system must have at least second class/division. The circular clearly states that a third division or third class at any stage of the academic career is not acceptable.

Professional Experience Requirements

The circular requires at least 18 years of professional experience, with at least three years in a senior-management or leadership position in the power sector. The detailed route depends on the applicant’s employment background:

• Government, SOE or autonomous-body applicants: At least 18 years of experience, including at least three years in a senior-management position at substantive National Pay Scale Grade 4 or above in the power sector.
• State-owned power-sector company applicants: At least 18 years of experience, including at least three years in a senior-management position (DGM or equivalent and above) in the power sector.
• Private-sector applicants: At least 18 years of experience, including three years in a senior-management or leadership position in a reputable power-sector organisation. The experience certificate must include detailed job responsibilities authorised by the competent authority.

In addition, applicants need at least five years of work experience in planning, project management or a relevant field of generation, transmission or distribution utilities. The circular also expects practical knowledge of DPP/PPP project preparation, relevant government rules, PPA/PPR, company and labour law, TQM, TPM, corporate governance, strategic management, financial management, procurement and operational management. Strong participatory leadership and negotiation skills are important.

Age Limit and Contract Duration

The minimum age is 45 years and the maximum age is 60 years, calculated as of 07 October 2026. The initial contractual appointment may be for a maximum of three years. Subject to satisfactory performance and the company’s decision, the contract may be extended for two further terms of up to three years each, within the maximum age limit of 65 years. This is a contractual executive appointment; it should not be described as a permanent revenue-post recruitment.

Salary and Benefits

The official circular specifies a basic monthly salary of BDT 149,000. The listed compensation package also includes house rent at 50% of basic pay, two festival bonuses each year, Bangla New Year allowance at 20% of basic salary, contributory provident fund, group insurance, leave encashment, gratuity and other admissible allowances under company rules. Medical expenses may be reimbursed up to a maximum of three months’ basic salary per year, subject to the company policy. Full-time transport with a driver is also listed. Income tax is payable by the employee, and the package may be adjusted under the company’s pay structure.
