The Jammu & Kashmir Public Works Department has assigned twelve engineers to serve as acting Executive Engineers, strengthening its senior technical cadre.
The Jammu & Kashmir Public Works Department (PWD) has recently placed twelve of its engineers in charge of Executive Engineer posts on an acting basis. The decision, announced by the department, aims to fill vacant senior positions and ensure continuity in ongoing infrastructure projects across the union territory.
According to the official notification, the appointed engineers will assume full responsibilities of Executive Engineers, overseeing construction, maintenance, and quality control of roads, bridges, and government buildings. Their tenure as acting officers will be reviewed periodically, with the possibility of permanent promotion based on performance.
The move comes amid a broader effort by the J&K administration to bolster its engineering workforce and accelerate development works that were delayed due to staffing gaps. Department officials said the appointments are expected to improve project timelines and service delivery to the public.
Stakeholders, including contractors and local authorities, have welcomed the reinforcement of senior technical staff, noting that timely decision‑making is crucial for the region's infrastructure growth.
The department will continue to monitor the acting officers' performance and may issue further appointments to address any remaining vacancies in the Executive Engineer cadre.
