Database Administrator

About This Job

The National Telecommunication and Information Security Board (NTISB) has announced one contract-basis vacancy for Database Administrator, PPS-8, based in Islamabad, through the National Jobs Portal. The Database Administrator will be responsible for managing and securing NTISB's database systems, an essential backend function supporting the organization's broader cyber-security and information-security operations. Given that database integrity underpins much of NTISB's SOC and case-management activity, this is a technically important, if less visible, addition to the organization's IT infrastructure team.

Unlike NTISB's more numerous SOC analyst and integration postings advertised in the same batch, only one vacancy exists for this database-focused role, reflecting its specialized nature within the organization's broader IT setup. Applicants must have at least 16 years of education in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field from an HEC-recognized institution, with a range of acceptable degrees including BS or MS Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Information Technology, and Database Administration itself. On the experience side, candidates need a minimum of 5 years of professional experience specifically in database administration and management — a focused, hands-on requirement reflecting the operational nature of the role, and distinguishes this post from the more general IT and integration positions NTISB has advertised in the same recruitment round. Beyond routine administration, the position also involves implementing database security measures and coordinating disaster recovery planning, along with any other duties assigned by the competent authority from time to time. The eligible age range is 27 to 40 years, with the usual five-year general age relaxation already factored into the upper limit and no further relaxation available.

Interested candidates should apply online through the National Jobs Portal, logging into a PAK-ID verified account or registering for one, completing the application form, and uploading their CV together with educational and experience certificates. No application fee has been mentioned for this post. The closing date for applications is 12 October 2026. Candidates with a solid, demonstrable background in managing production database environments, particularly those who have also handled database security hardening or disaster recovery planning, will be well positioned to compete for this single available post. Since this is a contract engagement rather than a permanent civil-service appointment, the specific terms of tenure and renewal will be communicated directly to the selected candidate by NTISB following the interview stage. Applicants are also advised to keep their contact details on the National Jobs Portal up to date, since all correspondence regarding shortlisting and testing will be issued exclusively through the portal system.
