Senior Officer IT

About This Job

Pakistan Railways Headquarter Office has advertised one contract-basis vacancy for the position of Senior Officer IT at grade PPS-8 through the National Job Portal, with the posting published on 17 August 2026. This role is intended to strengthen the organization's internal information-technology support function, covering network and hardware administration, systems management, and troubleshooting for Pakistan Railways' office infrastructure, and reflects a broader push within the organization to modernize its IT backbone, potentially in coordination with externally funded technology initiatives.

Candidates must hold a four-year BS degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or an equivalent discipline recognized by the Pakistan Engineering Council or Higher Education Commission, amounting to a minimum of sixteen years of education; postgraduate and doctoral degrees in relevant IT fields are also acceptable. A minimum of five years of relevant professional experience in IT support, network or hardware administration, or office-systems management is required, and applicants should be able to demonstrate proficiency in Windows Server environments, Microsoft 365 platforms, network infrastructure management, backup systems, and general troubleshooting. Professional certifications such as CCNA, MCSE, or CompTIA A+/Network+ will be considered an advantage, and prior experience working within public-sector organizations or World Bank-funded projects is described as highly desirable given the nature of Pakistan Railways' current technology-upgrade efforts. The maximum age limit for this post is 45 years.

Interested candidates should apply online through the National Job Portal at www.njp.gov.pk, registering with their CNIC and email address before completing their profile and uploading the required CV, degree certificates, and any relevant professional certifications.
