Environmental Legal Expert

About This Job

The Climate Finance Unit within the Planning & Development Board, Government of Punjab is looking to hire an Environmental Legal Expert on a contract basis to support the legal dimensions of its climate finance programme. The successful candidate will work on matters spanning environmental law compliance, regulatory review, and legal structuring of climate-related initiatives across the province, alongside advising the wider CFU team on the legal implications of carbon market participation and green investment agreements. A single post is on offer, covering All Punjab as the posting location since no specific district is named in the source listing, and it is open to both male and female applicants who meet the standard domicile condition applied across Punjab government recruitment. The position is graded at PPS 11, carrying a monthly salary range of up to PKR 800,000, placing it among the mid-to-senior technical roles within the unit.

To qualify, candidates need a Master's degree or a 16-year Bachelor's (Hons) qualification in Law. A minimum of 10 years of professional experience specifically in Environmental Law is required, and the advertisement notes that prior exposure to climate policy work, carbon market transactions, or donor-funded programme environments will count as an advantage during evaluation. The permissible age range for applicants is 35 to 60 years. Given the technical and legal nature of the assignment, candidates with a demonstrated track record of advising on environmental regulation, compliance frameworks, or climate-linked legal instruments are likely to be viewed favourably, though the core statutory requirement remains the stated law qualification and decade of environmental law experience. The role is expected to require close coordination with the Head (CFU) and other technical specialists within the unit as climate finance projects move through their legal review stages.

Interested applicants must apply online via the official Punjab Job Portal at jobs.punjab.gov.pk before the application window closes on August 13, 2026. The source listing does not mention any application fee for this post. Applicants should locate the specific job detail page for the Environmental Legal Expert position on the portal to review any additional instructions, keep their legal qualification documents and professional experience certificates ready for upload, and finalise their submission ahead of the deadline to avoid missing the recruitment cycle. Given that this is a specialised, single-vacancy contract post, early submission with complete documentation is advisable.
