Assistant

About This Job

The Project Management Cell for the Gwadar Shipyard, operating under the Ministry of Defence Production, oversees the planning, execution, and day-to-day administration of a major shipbuilding infrastructure initiative at Gwadar, a project of strategic importance to Pakistan's maritime, defence-production, and industrial development goals. The Cell functions as the project office that coordinates contractors, technical staff, and government stakeholders through the construction and commissioning phases of the shipyard. To staff this office, the Cell has advertised several contract-basis positions together through the National Jobs Portal, spanning finance, administration, and support roles, and this vacancy is one of that batch, with the eligibility criteria, deadline, and terms below applying specifically to this individual post. Under this listing, the Cell is recruiting one Assistant at PPS-5 on a contract basis to support the office's day-to-day secretarial, clerical, and administrative operations, including file management, correspondence handling, and coordination between the project office and other government departments. Only one vacancy is available under this advertisement, and the position is expected to work closely with senior project staff on routine administrative tasks.

Eligible candidates should hold a B.A. or B.Sc. degree along with an IT diploma and a typing speed of at least 35 words per minute, reflecting the blend of general education and practical office-computing skill the role demands. A minimum of three years of relevant job experience is required, and candidates who have previously worked in the public sector will be given preference during shortlisting, since familiarity with government office procedures and file movement conventions is considered valuable for this post. Proficiency in advanced computer applications such as MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint is expected, along with a working understanding of secretarial best practices such as diary maintenance, correspondence drafting, and record-keeping. Applicants must not exceed 50 years of age as of the closing date, and where a written or typing-speed test is required for shortlisting, it will be conducted at the test centre in Rawalpindi.

Interested and eligible candidates should apply online through the National Jobs Portal (njp.gov.pk) by registering or logging into their candidate account and submitting the application along with supporting qualification and experience documents before the closing date. The vacancy should be located under the Project Management Cell-Gwadar Shipyard-MoDP's open postings on the portal, and no application fee has been mentioned in the advertisement. Candidates are advised to keep scanned copies of their CNIC, academic certificates, and experience letters ready before starting the online form, and to submit well ahead of the deadline to avoid last-minute portal issues, since technical glitches or slow document verification near the closing date can otherwise cost a candidate their chance to be considered for this single available seat. The last date to apply for this post is 29 September 2026.
