The Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) has released a notification inviting online applications for 40 vacancies of Assistant Environmental Engineer in the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board. This recruitment should not be confused with a separate, unrelated “Assistant Executive Engineer” recruitment (245 posts covering irrigation, roads and buildings, and public health engineering), which is a completely different, older recruitment cycle whose application deadline had already passed in May 2026, despite sharing the same “AEE” abbreviation.

This notification carries its own dedicated application timeline, though it is part of a larger batch of simultaneous APPSC subordinate service notifications released around the same period.
