Deputy Program Officer (Occupational Health & Safety)

About This Job

The Punjab Municipal Development Fund Company (PMDFC) is recruiting a Deputy Program Officer (Occupational Health and Safety) for a single Lahore-based, contract post under its PICP project, with the role also requiring field visits to project sites for program activities. As municipal infrastructure schemes typically involve donor-funded works — often financed by institutions like the World Bank or ADB — this position is focused specifically on keeping those project sites safe and compliant, covering hazard identification, safety audits, and incident investigation across ongoing infrastructure works.

PMDFC is looking for a candidate with a bachelor's degree (16 years/4-year) or a master's or higher in Environmental Engineering/Sciences or Occupational Health & Safety from an HEC-recognized institute, with NEBOSH IGC and ISO 45001 Lead Auditor certification considered a plus. On experience, a minimum of seven years in implementing and monitoring occupational health and safety systems for infrastructure projects is required, ideally under donor-funded programs — including developing OHS management plans, conducting hazard identification and risk assessments (HIRA), running incident investigations and root-cause analysis, and carrying out safety inspections, audits, and toolbox talks along with training project staff and contractors. A working understanding of the World Bank's Environmental and Social Framework is also expected. The role is open to both genders, capped at age 45, and requires a Punjab domicile.

Applications go through the Punjab Job Portal at jobs.punjab.gov.pk, where the post is listed with an online Apply option. Punjab domicile, if not already held, can be arranged via the Dastak doorstep service (call 1202). The closing date for this Lahore-based Deputy Program Officer (OHS) post is 30 July 2026 — candidates with the relevant OHS background and donor-funded infrastructure-project experience should apply online through the portal before that date.
