Cantonment Board Deolali has invited offline applications for the post of Filter Attendant on a contract basis in its Water Works Department. Eligible candidates with ITI qualification can submit applications by 20 November 2026.
Cantonment Board Deolali is a premier Class-I civic administration operating under the Directorate General of Defence Estates (DGDE), Ministry of Defence, Government of India. Located in the picturesque Sahyadri foothills near Nashik in Maharashtra, Deolali is one of the oldest military stations in India, housing the School of Artillery, military hospital complexes, regimental centers, and expansive residential cantonment wards.
Under the Cantonments Act of 2006, the Cantonment Board functions as an autonomous local municipal body responsible for public health, sanitation, water purification, street lighting, and primary education across civil and military zones. Ensuring round-the-clock clean potable drinking water to thousands of defence personnel, military families, and local civilian residents requires continuous operation of rapid sand filtration plants, chlorination units, and overhead distribution reservoirs fed by the Darna and Gangapur dam pipelines.
Operating and maintaining water treatment machinery requires technical personnel proficient in backwash filter cycling, chemical dosing, water turbidity testing, and pump valve maintenance. The Chief Executive Officer of Cantonment Board Deolali has accordingly issued an official employment notification to engage 1 Filter Attendant on a contract basis for an initial duration of one year.
Selected personnel will work in a disciplined defence environment, gaining valuable experience in municipal water engineering while drawing fixed monthly compensation. Don't miss this opportunity to serve in a central defence civic establishment.
The water distribution infrastructure in Deolali Cantonment is a sophisticated engineering network designed to deliver millions of liters of treated water daily. The system draws raw water through intake wells and pumping stations connected to regional irrigation dams.
Raw water passes through cascade aerators to eliminate dissolved gases, followed by flash mixers where alum and coagulants are added to aggregate suspended particulate matter. The water then enters clariflocculators where heavy flocs settle out before the clarified water flows across gravity rapid sand filter beds.
The Filter Attendant plays a hands-on technical role on the filter house deck. The attendant monitors loss of head gauges, operates manifold backwash valves to flush clogged sand media, regulates pre-chlorination and post-chlorination dosing pumps to maintain residual chlorine standards, and takes hourly water samples for laboratory bacteriological testing.
The employment notice covers 1 post in the engineering establishment of the Cantonment Board:
