CFO / Accounts Officer

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. For this listing, the Cell is hiring one CFO/Accounts Officer at PPS-7 on a contract basis, a senior finance role responsible for the project's financial planning, reporting, budgeting, and regulatory compliance. The incumbent will work closely with project leadership to ensure sound financial management of public funds allocated to the shipyard initiative, oversee accounts operations, and act as a key liaison with government finance wings during audits and budget cycles. Only one seat is available under this advertisement.

Candidates should hold a Master's degree in Finance or Accounting, with a Chartered Accountant qualification given clear preference over a plain Master's. At least ten years of progressively responsible experience in the finance or accounts function of a major company or a large corporate division is required, and candidates who additionally hold a CA, CPA, or CMA designation will have a distinct advantage during shortlisting. Beyond formal qualifications, the role calls for a strong command of financial analysis techniques, accounting principles, and the General Financial Rules and Public Finance Management practices that govern spending in public-sector organizations, since the position sits inside a government-funded infrastructure project. Advanced proficiency with electronic spreadsheets, MS Office, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems is expected, and familiarity with SAP, e-Office, IPAS, and the E-AAA (Electronic Asaan Assignment Account) payment solution used across Pakistani government departments will be considered a strong plus. Applicants must not be older than 50 years as of the closing date, and where a written or interview-stage test is required for shortlisting, it will be conducted at the test centre in Rawalpindi rather than at the project site itself.

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.
