The Military Engineer Services (MES) is an inter-service organisation with military and civilian components of its officers and subordinate staff. MES is one of the oldest and largest government defence infrastructure-development agencies in India. Construction work is done with contracts, but maintenance is conducted by departmentally-employed labour (DEL) and contracts.[1] MES is primarily employed in engineering and construction for the Indian Armed Forces, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, the Ordnance Factory Board, and the DRDO. [2] It is also involved in complex projects, including hospitals, airfields, buildings, workshops, roads, runways, hangars, dockyards, airport terminals, sewage treatment plants, solar plants wharves, and other marine structures.[2] MES has been entrusted with the construction of the Indian National War Memorial.[3]
Indian Army Corps of Engineers officers form the MES' military component. Its civilian component consists of the Indian Defence Service Engineers (IDSE) , the Indian Defence Contract Management Service (IDCMS) and Junior Engineer ( JE ) from Staff Selection Commission ( SSC ). The surveyor, architect and barrack/stores cadres are selected through the Indian Engineering Services and the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
