Assistant Director Field Survey Operations (District)

About This Job

The Punjab Land Record Authority (PLRA) has announced 41 vacancies for the post of Assistant Director, Field Survey Operations, on a contract basis for three years, extendable, under advertisement IPL-7462 dated July 22, 2026, with one position allocated to each of the 41 districts of Punjab, including Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Bahawalpur, Sargodha, and others across the province. Each Assistant Director will lead field survey operations within their assigned district, coordinating cadastral surveys, boundary demarcation, and engineering survey activities that directly support PLRA's province-wide land record digitization program at the grassroots level. 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.

Candidates must hold 16 years of education in Geomatics Engineering, Geographic Information Systems, or a related discipline from an HEC-recognized institution, along with a minimum of five years of post-qualification experience; preference will be given to candidates with prior experience in cadastral surveys, engineering surveys, boundary demarcation, or field operations management. The eligible age range is 25 to 40 years, and the posts are open to candidates of either gender. An attested domicile certificate is required with the application; the source advertisement does not specify a province by name, so the standard Punjab Government domicile requirement is implied for these district-based roles. Selection will be made strictly on merit based on the eligibility criteria specified in the advertisement, and candidates who do not meet the minimum qualification, experience, or age requirements will not be considered for further processing.

Eligible candidates should apply online through the Punjab Job Portal at jobs.punjab.gov.pk using the application link for this post, clearly indicating their preferred district, or submit a hard copy application with attested CNIC, domicile, and educational documents to PLRA Headquarters, Lahore, before the deadline. No application fee is mentioned in the advertisement or ad image. Shortlisted candidates will be called for a written screening test followed by an interview, with no TA/DA admissible for either stage. The last date to apply for these district-wide posts is August 7, 2026, and candidates are advised to apply early given the district-specific nature of these 41 vacancies across Punjab.
