Assistant Legal

About This Job

The Central Power Purchasing Agency (Guarantee) Limited (CPPA-G), the entity responsible for managing electricity purchase and supply agreements within Pakistan's power sector, is hiring an Assistant Legal at its Islamabad office through the Open Testing Service (OTS). The position sits within CPPA-G's legal wing, supporting contract review, regulatory compliance, and day-to-day legal matters connected to the organization's power-purchase operations, and forms part of a wider recruitment drive advertised under PID(I) 610/26 covering several legal and corporate posts.

Candidates must hold a bachelor's degree (14 years of education) along with a working knowledge of MS Word and Excel, and must have at least five years of post-qualification, relevant experience gained at a reputable national or multinational organization. The maximum age limit is 45 years as on the closing date, with no minimum age specified in the advertisement beyond the general legal working age. Applicants already employed by government departments must apply through the proper channel with a No Objection Certificate.

Interested candidates must apply online exclusively through the OTS applicant portal at ots.org.pk, where they should register, complete the application, and pay the test fee via 1-Bill Payment through their mobile or online banking app using the PSID provided — the fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. All educational documents, CNIC copies, a domicile certificate, and experience certificates must be uploaded through the portal, as hard-copy or by-hand submissions are not accepted. Candidates should review the detailed Terms of Reference published at ots.org.pk and cppa.gov.pk before applying, and can direct any queries to the OTS helpline (UAN 051-111-687-222) or info@ots.org.pk. Given that this is a legal role within a technical, regulated organization, candidates with prior exposure to energy-sector or regulatory contracts may have an advantage during shortlisting, though this is not stated as a mandatory requirement in the advertisement. Applicants should retain their OTS registration ID and PSID payment receipt until the recruitment process concludes, since these are typically required to check application status or download a roll number slip if a written test is scheduled. CPPA-G plays a central role in Pakistan's electricity market by settling payments between power producers and distribution companies, and legal staff there are exposed to a mix of commercial contract law, corporate governance, and public-sector regulatory practice — making this a useful stepping stone for candidates interested in the energy or public-utility legal field. Given the relatively short experience requirement compared to more senior legal posts in the same advertisement, this position is expected to draw strong interest from recent law and legal-studies graduates who have already gained a few years of practical exposure.
