Meter Reader

About This Job

Lahore Electric Supply Company Limited (LESCO) is recruiting thirty-six Meter Readers through the Open Testing Service (OTS) under advertisement LESCO#40(2026-27) — the second-largest single-post category in this advertisement, reflecting the scale of field metering operations across LESCO's five-district service area. The posts are offered on contract basis with a six-month probation period and are restricted to candidates domiciled in Lahore, Kasur, Sheikhupura, Okara or Nankana Sahib districts, with twenty-seven seats on the direct quota, seven reserved for LESCO employees' children, and two for minority candidates.

Eligible candidates need only HSSC (in Arts, Commerce or Science) or an equivalent qualification from a recognized Board, making this one of the more accessible entry-level posts in the advertisement — no diploma, IT certification, or prior experience is required. The maximum age limit is 30 years as on the closing date, already inclusive of the standard five-year relaxation, with further relaxation reserved for scheduled-caste, Buddhist, or continuously-serving government-servant candidates under LESCO's general conditions. Meter Readers are responsible for field visits to record consumer electricity usage, a role central to LESCO's billing accuracy and revenue-collection cycle.

Candidates should apply exclusively through the OTS online portal at ots.org.pk before the 18 August 2026 deadline, paying the Rs. 80 test fee via 1-Bill Payment through their mobile or online banking app. Required uploads include the HSSC certificate, CNIC copies, and a domicile certificate confirming residence in one of the five eligible districts. Selection is based solely on a written test with a 50% passing threshold; given the large number of posts, competition is expected to be significant, and candidates are advised to apply well before the deadline since OTS portals typically see heavy traffic in the final days. LESCO reserves the right to adjust the number of posts or cancel the recruitment process at any stage, and selected candidates can be posted anywhere within LESCO's jurisdiction. For queries on eligibility or the application process, candidates can contact OTS at UAN 051-111-687-222 or info@ots.org.pk.
