Associate IT Facilities Engineer

Associate IT Facilities Engineer – Powai, Mumbai

A technology employer based in Powai, Mumbai, is hiring an Associate IT Facilities Engineer for a full-time, on-site position. The role pays up to ₹61,500 a month and sits within the software development function, supporting the physical and technical infrastructure that keeps day-to-day operations running. It's an entry-to-associate-level opening, suited to someone who has already spent a couple of years working with hardware, IT support, or facilities work and now wants to move into a more structured engineering environment. The team is based entirely on-site, so this listing is really aimed at people already living in or near Mumbai; relocating specifically for it isn't practical given the on-site requirement. Reporting lines sit within the broader software development group, which is part of why the role expects some coding familiarity even though the daily focus leans toward hardware and physical infrastructure.

What you'll be doing

This role sits at the intersection of software work and the practical side of keeping an office's technology running. Day-to-day, the responsibilities include:

• Designing and building software components used across internal systems
• Working closely with product and QA teams throughout each release cycle
• Reviewing colleagues' code to catch issues before they reach production
• Troubleshooting problems reported by users and following them through to resolution

The workload shifts from week to week. Some stretches are dominated by scheduled maintenance, testing windows, and planned upgrades, while others are shaped by unplanned issues that need a same-day fix. Anyone applying should be comfortable moving between the two with little advance notice, since neither type of week is predictable in advance. Reported issues can come from anywhere in the building, so part of the job is simply figuring out which team actually owns a given problem before fixing it.

What you'll bring

Candidates need a bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a closely related field. That's the baseline the employer is working from for this opening, and it isn't something that gets waived for an otherwise strong resume. Alongside the degree, the position requires 24 months of hands-on experience in facilities management, hardware maintenance, and troubleshooting in an associate-level technical setting. A working knowledge of the programming languages, tools, and frameworks used on the team also matters here, since parts of the job overlap with general software support work. Because the role blends two disciplines, the strongest applicants tend to be those who've done IT support or facilities work and have also picked up scripting or basic development skills along the way. Someone who has only ever worked on one side of that line may need extra ramp-up time; that goes both ways, whether the gap is on the coding side or the hardware side. There's a clear growth path attached to this position too. People who spend a year or two here generally move in one of two directions: further into software development on the product side, or up into a senior facilities engineering role managing a wider set of systems and a small team of their own. Which path fits better usually becomes obvious within the first several months on the job.

Skills

The core requirements for this opening are facilities management, hardware maintenance, and troubleshooting. Interviews test for all three directly, in some depth.

• Facilities management
• Hardware maintenance
• Troubleshooting

Good to have

None of the following are required, but each one will strengthen an application and can be a factor when candidates are otherwise closely matched.

• Prior exposure to data center or server room operations
• Basic familiarity with the electrical or HVAC systems found in office buildings
• Experience logging and tracking issues through a ticketing platform such as ServiceNow
• Comfort coordinating directly with external vendors and contractors on repairs or installs

Compensation and benefits

Pay for this role ranges up to ₹61,500 per month, in line with what other associate-level facilities and IT support positions in and around Mumbai generally offer for similar hours and responsibilities. On top of salary, the position includes:

• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Provident fund contributions
• On-site cafeteria access
• Cab or commute support

The last two matter more than they might sound. Commute times across Mumbai can run long depending on where someone lives relative to Powai, and cafeteria access removes one more thing to plan around during a full workday spent mostly on-site.

Working out of the Powai office

This is a fully on-site position with no remote or hybrid option. The team keeps its own hardware and workspace infrastructure in-house rather than outsourcing it, which is part of why this role is a hybrid of software and facilities work rather than a pure IT support role. Employers hiring through Naukri Mitra for the Powai and greater Mumbai area post associate-level facilities and IT roles fairly often, and openings like this one tend to move quickly once they go live. New hires typically shadow a senior engineer for the first couple of weeks before taking on tickets and maintenance work independently, giving them time to become familiar with the building's systems before working solo. Team size on the facilities and support side is small enough that most people know each other by name within the first month, and questions usually get answered directly rather than routed through several layers of approval. That smaller structure also means one person's absence is noticeable, so reliability matters more here than it might on a bigger team where the work is spread thinner.

Applying

Interested candidates should send a resume that covers both sides of the role: any hardware, facilities, or IT support project work, and any relevant programming or scripting background. It's worth naming the specific tools and systems used rather than listing broad categories, since the interview will likely ask for examples. Mumbai-based facilities and IT roles with commute support attached fill quickly, so people who can start within a few weeks are usually given priority over those needing a longer notice period. Interviews for this associate-level opening tend to cover both technical troubleshooting and basic coding questions, so it's worth preparing for both rather than leaning entirely on one side. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and the position closes once it's filled; there's no fixed deadline to work around.
