Software Engineer

About This Job

The Punjab Environment Protection Department is hiring a Software Engineer, graded PPS-08, for its Lahore Air Improvement Framework (LAIF) project, which runs the city's Vehicular Emission Scanning System. The role calls for a technically capable developer to build, operate, and maintain the centralized emissions data dashboard and database that underpins the project's monitoring and enforcement operations, offering a chance to work on a live, mission-relevant government software system rather than a purely internal IT function.

The department requires candidates to hold a Masters or Bachelors (Hons) degree, equivalent to sixteen years of education, in Computer Engineering/Sciences, Information Technology, Data Science, or Software Engineering from an HEC-recognized institution, along with a minimum of five years of relevant professional experience. Applicants must be between 27 and 40 years of age, and the position is open to both genders subject to the usual domicile conditions for Punjab government project posts. On the job, the selected engineer will support integration of RSD sensors, PEMS data feeds, and ALPR cameras with the centralized data system, ensure secure storage, backups, and access control, generate system reports, and coordinate with vendors, PITB, and other technical stakeholders to keep the platform interoperable and well maintained.

All applications must be submitted through the official Punjab Job Portal (jobs.punjab.gov.pk) using the online application process; the portal listing does not mention any application fee or an alternative postal/in-person submission route. Candidates should apply before the closing date of 6 September 2026, after which the department is expected to move forward with shortlisting for interviews. Given the technical nature of this contract-based role, interested applicants are encouraged to review the complete job description and required qualifications directly on the portal before submitting their application.
