HBRI Job Circular 2026 – 17 Posts

HBRI signed this circular on 11 October 2026, under memo number 25.44.2600.000.11.010.25-222. The copy on Teletalk is marked as a replacement issued under the same memo and date. It fills 17 vacant posts from Grade 10 to Grade 20 of the National Pay Scale 2026. Recruitment is direct and on a temporary basis.

Applicants from every district can apply. The form is online only, at hbri.teletalk.com.bd. HBRI will reject any application sent by hand or by post.

About the Housing and Building Research Institute

HBRI is an autonomous research body under the Ministry of Housing and Public Works. Its office is at 120/3 Darus-Salam, Mirpur, Dhaka. Wikipedia notes that the institute now runs under the Housing and Building Research Institute Act 2016.

The HBRI portal lists four research divisions: Construction and Structure, Soil, Housing, and Building Materials. It develops new building materials and tests construction samples for a published fee. It also runs a green building certification service.

Eligibility

Computer Typist and Office Sohayok candidates must also pass the test set in the Common Post Recruitment Rules, 2019. For the typist, that means schedules 2 and 4. For Office Sohayok, it is schedule 5.

Age: 18 to 32 years. This covers general applicants and small ethnic groups. It also covers grandchildren of freedom fighters or martyred freedom fighters. HBRI does not accept an affidavit as proof of age.

Security Guard is the one exception. Retired armed forces members can apply for it up to age 40. So can people with experience in the work.

The circular gives no reference date for counting age. If you are close to the limit, confirm with HBRI. Our government job age limit guide shows how to count.

District: none of the 64 districts is excluded.

Employed applicants: if you work for a government, semi-government or autonomous body, apply with your employer’s permission. Tick “Departmental Candidate” in the form. At the viva, every employed candidate must hand in the original no-objection certificate (NOC). HBRI will not take an advance copy.

Application Fee

Pay from any Teletalk prepaid number within 72 hours of submitting the form. Until the fee arrives, HBRI will not accept the application, even if every field is filled.

1. SMS 1: type HBRI <space> User ID and send it to 16222. Example: HBRI ABCDEF. The reply shows your name, the fee and a PIN.
2. SMS 2: type HBRI <space> YES <space> PIN and send it to 16222. Example: HBRI YES 12345678. The reply confirms payment and gives your User ID and Password.

The sample reply printed in the circular lists “Tk 667/223/112”. That looks like template text. The fee section of the same circular gives Tk 223, Tk 112 and Tk 56. Those are the amounts above.
