Company Secretary (CS) - Legal/Regulatory Affairs

About This Job

Punjab Grid Company Limited (PGCL), the Energy Department's provincial power-transmission utility, is hiring one Company Secretary for Legal/Regulatory Affairs on a contract basis at its Lahore head office. The role is central to PGCL's corporate governance, requiring the post-holder to assist the Board of Directors in managing the company's legal and financial risks and to ensure the company complies with all applicable statutory regulations as it operates as a relatively new provincial power-sector entity. Day-to-day duties include the full range of Board secretarial responsibilities, such as scheduling Board meetings, drafting and issuing minutes, and coordinating internally and externally on PGCL's official business, along with any additional responsibilities assigned from time to time by the CEO or the Board of Directors. The Company Secretary post is being filled alongside three other senior PGCL positions — Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and General Manager Technical — all advertised together in the same recruitment round, based at the company's Lahore head office, and sharing the same 20 October 2026 closing date as PGCL builds out its core leadership team.

Eligibility is open to candidates through three possible routes: membership of a recognised body of professional accountants, membership of a recognised body of corporate or chartered secretaries, or a Master's degree in Business Administration or Commerce, or a law degree, from an HEC-recognised university combined with at least five years of relevant experience. Preferred academic backgrounds include Chartered Accountancy, Cost Accounting, and Law, reflecting the mixed legal-and-financial nature of the post and the range of professional backgrounds PGCL is willing to consider for it. The position is open to both men and women between eighteen and forty years of age, making it the youngest age bracket among the four PGCL leadership posts advertised together, with a Punjab domicile mandatory for eligibility.

PGCL has set a monthly salary range of PKR 400,000 to 800,000 for this post. Interested candidates must apply online via the Punjab Job Portal (jobs.punjab.gov.pk), registering for an account or logging in before completing the Company Secretary listing's application form in full; a Punjab domicile certificate, available at home through the Dastak doorstep-delivery service by phone, app, or web portal, is required, and no application fee is mentioned anywhere in the posting. Applications must be submitted before the closing date of 20 October 2026, and candidates are advised to review the complete newspaper advertisement attached to the listing, which reproduces the same notice published in the press, before applying for this corporate governance role.
