The Department of Water Resources vide Resolution No. 6067, dated the 3rd March, 2019 has notified the approved changes in all the three Engineering Departments. In conformity with the said Resolution, restructured Odisha Engineering Service PH Cadre for Housing & Urban Development Department will be as follows:—

1) The total number of sanctioned posts of Engineering Service Cadre in respect of Housing & urban Development has remained as 485(PH & RWS&S) as before.

2) The existing post of Deputy Executive Engineer in the Pay Level-12 has been abolished thereby resulting in the merger in the cadre of AEE & DEE.

3) The existing posts of Superintending Engineer (Level-II and Level-I) are being merged and redesignated as Superintending Engineer in the Pay Level-14.

4) A new post in the name of Additional Chief Engineer has been created in between Superintending Engineer and Chief Engineer in the Pay Level-16.

ANNEXURE-A

A BRIEF NOTE ON RE-STRUCTURING PROPOSAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

SERVICES CADRE IN HOUSING & URBAN DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT

Only one Engineering cadre is maintained for civil engineers of both PHEO and Rural Water Supply & Sanitation under PR & Drinking Water Departments and is maintained by the H& UD Department. The existing strength of engineering personnel in Housing & Urban Development Department stands at 485 after the last restructuring in 2011.

Keeping in view the increasing work-loads on the part of C.Es, existing posts of 21 Superintending Engineers have been proposed to be upgraded to Addl. Chief Engineers in the same scale of pay of C.Es. Besides, the current restructuring has been proposed to provide pay-parity to Engineering cadres of the State, in line with other similar State cadres like OAS & OFS etc. and to simplify the promotional scope while enhancing pay-scale of mid-level engineers. The biggest difference and demoralising factor was that, there was no change in pay-scale at the time of promotion from an AEE to DEE and again from EE to SE Level-II; Superintending Engineers being circle level officers, two levels of Superintending Engineers is observed to be totally redundant as duties and codal powers are same at both levels. A designation of Deputy Executive Engineer after promotion from AEE with no change in scale of pay is also observed to be unnecessary as the functions and codal powers for both these posts are the same. In similar manner, it is proposed that, Superintending Engineer Level-I and Superintending Engineer Level-II to be merged and will be named simply as Superintending Engineer. Similarly, Deputy Executive Engineers and Assistant Executive Engineers have been merged and will be named only as Assistant Executive Engineers.

All these issues have been comprehensively addressed in the current restructuring proposal. In each batch, 65% to 85% degree engineers (bigger the batch, higher is the percentage) retire at S.E levels i.e. at Pay Level-13/ Pay Level-14. In order to address this, the present system of 7-tier engineering cadre has been brought down to 5 effective tiers, while keeping the total number of post 485 intact in the current restructuring proposal.

After the proposed restructuring, a degree engineer now can be assured of retiring at least at the level of Addl. C.E i.e. at Pay Level-16, which will bring parity with other State level services and will boost the morale of the cadre.

The existing and proposed restructuring is given below in a tabular form:

5
Exis ting tiers Existing Designation Nos. Existing scale of pay Proposed Designation Nos. Proposed scale of pay Revi sed Tiers
I Assist. Executive Engineer 301 Pay Level-12 Assistant Executive Engineer 313 Pay Level-12 I
II Deputy Executive Engineer 51 Pay Level-12
III Executive Engineer 93 Pay Level-13 Executive Engineer 87 Pay Level-13 II
IV Superintending Engineer-II 19 Pay Level-13 Superintending Engineer 54 Pay Level-14 III
V Superintending Engineer-I 12 Pay Level-14 Addl. Chief Engineer 21 Pay Level-16 IV
VI Chief Engineer 7 Pay Level-16 Chief Engineer 7
VII Engineer-in-Chief 2 Pay Level-17 Engineer-in-Chief 3 Pay Level-17 V
TOTAL 485 485

pay levels for each tier.

Salient features of the restructuring proposal are:

• Existing 2 (two) posts of Engineer-in-chief at Pay Level-17 shall be kept intact. In addition to this one more post of EIC will be created for the smooth management of Odisha Water Supply and Sewerage Board (OWSS&B) by abolishing one posts of DEE. As a result, after restructuring, 3(three) posts of EIC shall function in PH Engineering Cadre. The detailed list of posts is presented in Annexure-I.

• Existing 7(Seven) nos. of posts of Chief Engineer at Pay Level-16 will be kept intact. The detailed list of posts is presented in Annexure-II.

• Out of existing 31 sanctioned posts for Superintending Engineers, 21 S.Es will be upgraded to the Pay Level-16 on the basis of their seniority and will be re-designated as Addl. Chief Engineers and remaining 10 (31-21) posts of S.Es will work as such at circle level Project/Deputation posts at Pay Level-14. The detailed list of Addl. Chief Engineer posts is presented in Annexure-III.

• Out of 93 existing posts of Executive Engineers, 44 E.Es will be upgraded on the basis of their seniority and re-designated as Superintending Engineers with Pay Level-14 and thus, the total number of S.Es will become 54(10+44) after restructuring. Out of the existing 59 field divisions {19PH,1PH(Project), 36 RWS&S, 1 RW(PH),2 GPH}, 44 divisions shall be6 held by S.Es and balance 15 divisions shall be held by E.E.s. The details of posts for the 54 SEs has been given at Annexure-IV.

• Thus, any field division, can be interchangeably held either by a S.E. or an E.E on suitability. Hence both the posts of Superintending Engineer and Executive Engineer are proposed to be interchangeable and postings will be flexible in nature.

• Out of 51existing posts of Deputy Executive Engineers, 38 posts of D.E.Es will be upgraded on the basis of their seniority and re-designated as Executive Engineers at Pay Level- 13.Therefore the total number of EEs after restructuring will be 87{49(93-44)}+38)}. The details of posts of the 87 EEs has been given at Annexure-V.

• Out of proposed 313 posts of Assistant Executive Engineer, 301 existing posts of AEEs will continue as AEE, and 12 existing posts of DEEs will be merged and re-designated as AEEs.

The details of posts of the 313 AEEs has been given at Annexure-VI.
