The Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) has kicked off a fresh round of recruitment through its Itarsi facility in Madhya Pradesh, advertising 265 vacant posts of Chemical Process Worker. Interested candidates are being asked to submit their applications in physical form only, with the deadline fixed for March 27, 2026.
This recruitment drive falls under the broader hiring initiative of the Ordnance Factory Board, which operates several manufacturing units across India responsible for producing defence materials and allied chemical products. The Itarsi factory is one of the key establishments in central India that handles a range of chemical processes integral to the defence production chain.
The advertised salary for the Chemical Process Worker position begins at ₹19,900 per month, which is in line with the pay structure prescribed under Level 3 of the government pay matrix applicable to these recruitments. Along with the base pay, selected candidates are also eligible for standard government benefits including dearness allowance, medical facilities, and other allowances as applicable to OFB employees.
While the application mode is strictly offline, the OFB has directed candidates to send their completed application forms along with the requisite documents to the official address of the Itarsi unit. Candidates are advised to carefully verify the eligibility criteria before submitting their applications, as the board typically requires candidates to hold an ITI certification in a relevant trade along with minimum educational qualifications prescribed in the official notification.
The selection process for these posts generally includes a document verification stage followed by a skill test or trade practical examination, depending on the specific requirements of the Chemical Process Worker role. Shortlisted candidates will be called for further rounds as per the board's standard procedure.
Candidates who wish to apply are urged to act promptly, as the window closes on March 27, 2026. Applications submitted after the deadline will not be entertained. Interested and eligible aspirants are encouraged to check the official OFB website or the Itarsi factory notice board for the complete notification, detailed syllabus, age relaxation norms, and the full list of eligible trades before submitting their offline applications.
