General Manager Technical

About This Job

Punjab Grid Company Limited (PGCL), the Energy Department's transmission utility for the province, is hiring one General Manager Technical on a contract basis at its Lahore head office. The role sits at the centre of PGCL's core engineering function, covering the planning and design of transmission lines and grid stations, oversight of their day-to-day operation, and supervision of connection agreements with users of the transmission system. The General Manager Technical will also identify potential projects for development by the provincial government or through Public-Private Partnership arrangements, select and monitor consultants, contractors and private partners engaged on those projects, represent the company at technical and industry forums, liaise with relevant authorities on laying transmission lines from proposed power-generating units to the National Grid or in isolated mode, and take overall responsibility for operation and maintenance of PGCL's transmission network, whether managed internally by the company or through outsourced arrangements. This appointment is being made alongside three other senior PGCL posts — Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Company Secretary — all advertised together in the same recruitment round, based at the company's Lahore head office, and sharing the same 20 October 2026 application deadline as the province builds up PGCL's leadership team.

Applicants need at minimum a Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering from an HEC-recognised university, with a Master's degree in the same disciplines preferred, reflecting sixteen years of education overall. Alongside academic qualifications, candidates must bring at least ten years of experience at management level within the power sector, given the seniority of the position and its direct bearing on the reliability of Punjab's electricity transmission infrastructure and grid stability. The post is open to both male and female candidates between eighteen and fifty years of age, and a Punjab domicile is a mandatory requirement for eligibility, consistent with the domicile condition applied across all of PGCL's current leadership vacancies.

The position offers a monthly salary of PKR 600,000 to 1,000,000, in line with PGCL's contract-based compensation structure for senior technical leadership roles. Interested engineers should apply online through the Punjab Job Portal (jobs.punjab.gov.pk), registering for an account or logging in before completing the General Manager Technical listing's application form in full; a Punjab domicile certificate is required and can be obtained at home via the Dastak doorstep-delivery service by phone, mobile app, or web portal. No application fee is mentioned anywhere in the posting. The closing date for applications is 20 October 2026, and candidates are encouraged to consult the full newspaper advertisement attached to the listing, which mirrors the notice published in the press, for complete details before applying.
