Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

About This Job

Punjab Grid Company Limited (PGCL), the Energy Department's provincial power-transmission utility based in Lahore, is recruiting one Chief Financial Officer (CFO) on a contract basis to head its finance and accounts function. The CFO will be responsible for supervising the company's finance and accounts department, preparing its annual budget and financial statements, drawing up business and investment plans, establishing financial procedures, and managing revenue collection and cash flow as PGCL builds out Punjab's transmission network under the province's wider power-sector reform agenda. As a senior finance leadership role at a newly consequential provincial energy company, the post carries a substantial monthly pay package and reports into the company's top management structure alongside the CEO and the rest of PGCL's executive team. PGCL is being staffed up as part of the Government of the Punjab's broader restructuring of the province's power-transmission sector, and the CFO appointment is one of four senior executive posts — alongside the Chief Executive Officer, General Manager Technical, and Company Secretary — being filled together in this same recruitment round, all based at the company's Lahore head office and all carrying the same 20 October 2026 closing date.

Eligibility for the CFO post follows one of two routes: candidates may qualify through membership of a recognised body of professional accountants with at least five years of relevant experience, which applies where the public sector company's total assets reach five billion rupees or more, or through a Master's degree in Finance from an HEC-recognised university combined with at least ten years of relevant experience, which applies for other public sector companies. Preferred academic backgrounds include Cost Accounting, Finance, and Accountancy/Chartered Accountancy, and candidates who can demonstrate finance or tariff-related experience specifically within the power sector will be given preference over generalist finance professionals. The role is open to both men and women aged between eighteen and fifty years, subject to a mandatory Punjab domicile requirement that applies uniformly across all four PGCL leadership posts advertised together in this recruitment round.

The position offers a monthly salary ranging from PKR 600,000 to 1,000,000, positioning it among the better-compensated finance postings currently advertised on the Punjab Job Portal. Applicants must apply online at jobs.punjab.gov.pk, registering for a new account or logging in to an existing one before completing the CFO listing's application form in full; a Punjab domicile certificate, obtainable through the provincial government's Dastak doorstep-delivery service by phone, app, or web portal, is required as part of eligibility, and no separate application fee is charged for submitting the application. The application window closes on 20 October 2026, and interested finance professionals are advised to review the full newspaper advertisement linked on the listing, which reproduces the same notice as published in the press, before submitting their candidacy.
