Scanning Operator - Sargodha Region (Project Based)

About This Job

NADRA has announced a project-based Scanning Operator opening at its Mega Center in Faisalabad, listed on its careers portal under the Sargodha Region heading but restricted to Faisalabad residents in the actual job notice, as part of a wider push to digitize and archive old departmental records. Eligibility is limited to residents of Faisalabad, confirmed via CNIC and domicile, and applications are accepted only through NADRA's official online careers portal ahead of the stated deadline. It offers a temporary but paid role supporting NADRA's records-digitization work in the region. The initiative is part of NADRA's broader nationwide effort to digitize decades of paper-based citizen records held across its regional offices, giving Faisalabad-based applicants a genuine, though temporary, opportunity with a federal government institution.

Candidates need at least an Intermediate (HSSC) qualification or an equivalent certificate, and the maximum age allowed is 25 years, a limit that already includes the standard five-year relaxation, so no additional age concession will be given. Selected operators will archive legacy NADRA records and must scan a minimum of 400 pages every working day, across rotating morning, evening and night shifts over a six-day week, and must be willing to work whichever shift is assigned to them. The role requires no prior professional experience, making it accessible to recent Intermediate-level graduates who meet the residency and age conditions. NADRA has specifically encouraged students, women, minorities, transgender persons and differently-abled individuals to apply for this position. Applicants already working in a government or semi-government organization will need to bring a No Objection Certificate to their interview.

Applications must be submitted online at careers.nadra.gov.pk together with a CV, an educational board certificate, and CNIC/Domicile documentation, since only online applications are being entertained for this round. Shortlisted candidates must attend an interview with their original educational and professional documents; mobile phones, smart watches and other electronic gadgets are barred from the interview venue, and no TA/DA is paid for attendance. The engagement is purely contractual for three months (90 days), extendable subject to project needs, carries a base salary of Rs. 40,000 per month plus a per-scanned-form incentive to be fixed by NADRA, and creates no entitlement to permanent or regular NADRA employment. Since the number of seats is limited to what the Faisalabad center actually needs and the application window closes on a fixed date, candidates are encouraged to submit their online application well ahead of the deadline rather than waiting until the last day. Interested candidates should complete their application before the closing date of October 11, 2026.
