Receptionist (PPS-05)

About This Job

The Planning & Development (P&D) Board, Government of the Punjab, is recruiting for two Receptionist (PPS-05) posts on a contract basis under its project "Enhancing Institutional Effectiveness of Planning & Development Board." The successful candidates will be based in Lahore and serve as the front-office face of the Board, handling visitor management and administrative front-desk duties in support of a province-wide institutional-reform project that is also hiring for several other technical and finance roles at the same time. The vacancy was formally advertised under reference IPL-10213, published in the press on 28 September 2026 and listed on the Punjab Job Portal the following day.

Applicants are required to hold a graduation degree from an HEC-recognized university along with a minimum of three years of proven experience working as a Receptionist, Front Office Representative, or in a similar role in either the public or private sector. Prior experience using computers and standard office software such as MS Office, along with familiarity with spreadsheet and database packages, will be considered an advantage during shortlisting. Both posts are open to men and women between the ages of 22 and 45, with this bracket calculated as of the closing date and already inclusive of any applicable age relaxation, and only candidates who are domiciled in the Punjab are eligible to apply. Government servants who wish to apply must route their application through the proper departmental channel rather than applying directly.

Eligible candidates should apply online through the official Punjab Job Portal at www.jobs.punjab.gov.pk on or before 19 October 2026, and must upload soft copies of their academic and experience certificates along with their application; applications received without the required documents will not be considered for shortlisting, and submission of fake documents or concealment of any fact will lead to disqualification. Only short-listed candidates will be invited for a test or interview, where original documents must be presented; no TA/DA is admissible for attending. Serving government employees who wish to apply must submit their applications through the proper channel, and the Board reserves the right to increase, decrease, or withhold filling either of the advertised posts. The appointment will be purely on a contract basis, filled strictly on merit, and will not confer any right to regular appointment or count towards seniority or pension. This vacancy forms part of the same recruitment drive as four other Planning & Development Board posts advertised together, all closing on the same 19 October 2026 date. Interested and qualified candidates are encouraged to submit their online applications before the closing date, since applications will not be reopened once the deadline has passed.
