Short Information: APTRANSCO is hiring 200 Assistant Executive Engineers across Electrical (167 posts), Civil (23 posts), and Telecom (10 posts) disciplines — the largest AP power utility engineering recruitment of 2026. This is a transmission sector job, meaning you'll work on high-voltage infrastructure like substations, transmission lines, and grid monitoring — a technically richer role compared to distribution-level AEE jobs.

The pay during the 2-year probation period is ₹75,000/month consolidated — a fixed take-home with no deductions except statutory ones. Post-probation, candidates move to the RPS-2022 scale of ₹86,245 – ₹2,08,915, making it one of the better-paying state engineering service roles in Andhra Pradesh.

Eligibility requires a B.Tech/BE in the relevant discipline — Electrical/EEE for AEE Electrical, Civil for AEE Civil, and Telecom/ECE/Electronics for AEE Telecom. The degree must be in hand as on 25 June 2026; no relaxation for final-year students. Age limit is 18–42 years as on 01/07/2026, with relaxation up to 47 years for SC/ST/BC/EWS and 52 years for PwBD candidates.

This is a Common Recruitment Exam shared across APTRANSCO, APCPDCL, APEPDCL, APSPDCL, and APGENCO — one application, one fee of ₹1,000, and your utility preference order is final after submission. Applications open 30 June 2026 and close 20 July 2026. CBT is scheduled from 22 to 29 August 2026.
