Before I walk you through every role, let me be upfront with you about something important.
Hyderabad Metro is not one company — it’s a 3-entity structure, and understanding this will save you from wasting time on fake portals:
| Entity | Role | Who to Contact for Jobs |
|---|---|---|
| HMRL (Govt body) | Policy & oversight only | Does NOT hire directly |
| L&T Metro Rail | Infrastructure concessionaire | Redirects to Keolis for hiring |
| Keolis Hyderabad | Actual operator — runs trains & hires staff | THIS is where you apply ✓ |
The company that actually posts jobs and hires is Keolis Hyderabad Mass Rapid Transit System Pvt Ltd. Any agent or website directing you to “HMRL jobs” is either confused or running a scam.

⚠️ Important: What About Helper, Security & Housekeeping Jobs?
I want to be completely transparent with you here — and this is something most job sites won’t tell you.
HMRL and Keolis do NOT directly advertise Helper, Security Guard, or Housekeeping vacancies.
These roles exist at metro stations but are managed entirely by third-party facility management and security contractors. If you see a website claiming “HMRL is hiring 500 helpers — apply here”, that is either a clickbait job blog or a scam.
For these roles, apply through these verified platforms:
- Naukri.com — search “metro security Hyderabad” or “metro housekeeping Hyderabad”
- WorkIndia app — active listings for housekeeping and helper roles
- Indeed.in — search “L&T Metro facilities” or “metro station helper Hyderabad”
- Securitas, G4S, SIS Group — private security agencies that hold metro contracts
