Assistant Director Software Quality Assurance

About This Job

The Punjab Land Record Authority (PLRA) has announced six vacancies for the post of Assistant Director, Software Quality Assurance, on a contract basis for three years, extendable, under advertisement IPL-7880 dated August 1, 2026. These posts are based at PLRA Headquarters in Lahore and form part of a larger expansion of PLRA's software testing team. The Assistant Director SQA will be responsible for executing test plans, identifying and logging defects, and verifying fixes across PLRA's land record applications, working closely with developers and senior QA staff to maintain the quality and reliability of systems used by the public and government departments throughout the province. PLRA was established to digitize and safeguard land ownership records across Punjab, and its technical departments continue to expand as the authority extends its computerized land record management system to more districts, tehsils, and service centres throughout the province.

Applicants must hold a four-year Bachelor's degree, such as BSCS, MCS, or BCS, from an HEC-recognized university, along with at least three years of relevant post-qualification experience in software testing or quality assurance. The eligible age bracket is 24 to 34 years, and the position is open to candidates of either gender. An attested domicile certificate is required with the application; while the specific province is not named in the source advertisement, the standard Punjab Government domicile requirement is implied given PLRA's role as a Punjab provincial authority. Practical exposure to manual testing, test-case writing, and basic understanding of software development lifecycles will be advantageous for shortlisting.

Eligible candidates should apply online through the Punjab Job Portal at jobs.punjab.gov.pk using the specific link for this post. Candidates unable to apply online may instead send a hard copy application with attested CNIC, domicile, and educational certificates to PLRA Headquarters, Lahore, before the deadline. No application fee is mentioned in the advertisement or accompanying ad image. Shortlisted applicants will be required to appear in a written screening test followed by an interview, and no TA/DA will be paid for either. The closing date to submit applications for these six posts is August 17, 2026, and candidates are advised to apply early given the volume of applications expected for this mid-level QA opening.
