About This Job

The Planning & Development Board, Government of Punjab is hiring a Climate Data Specialist to join its Climate Finance Unit on a contract basis. The position is focused on climate data analysis, statistical modelling, and greenhouse gas accounting work that underpins the unit's broader climate finance and investment decisions, and the specialist is expected to generate the data-driven evidence base that supports project appraisal and monitoring across the CFU's portfolio. A single vacancy is on offer, listed against the province-wide posting location of All Punjab, and it is open to both male and female applicants who satisfy the standard domicile condition applied throughout Punjab government recruitment. The post sits at PPS 10, carrying a monthly salary range of up to PKR 600,000.

Candidates should hold a Master's degree or higher qualification in Climate Science, Atmospheric Science, Environmental Science, Data Science, Statistics, or Economics, with a specific focus on climate change analysis. A minimum of 7 years of experience in data analysis or climate science is required, and the advertisement asks for a demonstrated track record working with climate data, statistical analysis, and modelling techniques. Experience in greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and climate impact assessment is also expected of applicants, reflecting the technical and quantitative nature of the role within the CFU's operations. The age range for this position is set between 30 and 50 years, positioning it as a mid-career technical role rather than an entry-level analytical post, and it sits one grade below the Finance and Investment Specialist and Environmental Legal Expert posts within the same unit.
