Deputy Director (Engg)

About This Job

PPSC has advertised two BS-18 Deputy Director (Engineering) posts for the Punjab Housing and Town Planning Agency (PHATA) under the Housing Urban Development & Public Health Engineering Department, as part of Advertisement No. 11/2026 dated 9 October 2026. Both posts are on open merit, engaged on a three-year contract, with duty anywhere within PHATA Punjab. This case is one of 13 posts spread across six Punjab Government departments carried in the same advertisement, which was published in national newspapers on 9 October 2026 at LDA Plaza, 7-Edgerton Road, Lahore, under the signature of the PPSC Secretary.

The role calls for a B.Sc. (Engineering) in Civil Engineering from a recognized university or an equivalent government-recognized qualification, backed by at least seven years of relevant experience; applicants holding an M.Sc. (Engineering) in Civil Engineering with three years' relevant experience are preferred. Valid permanent registration with the Pakistan Engineering Council, held or applied for by the closing date, is mandatory, and only practical experience gained after the prescribed qualification counts. The post is open to male, female and transgender candidates domiciled in any district of Punjab, aged 21 to 40 years, relaxable to 45 for men and 48 for women, with selection via a 100-mark MCQ written test on civil-engineering subject matter. Candidates who believe a foreign or otherwise non-standard qualification is equivalent to the one prescribed above must submit an equivalence certificate issued by the Higher Education Commission or the concerned department's Qualification Equivalence Determination Committee at the time of interview, failing which their candidature is liable to cancellation; marks or percentage certificates for every degree must also be produced, as CGPA alone is not accepted. Any experience claimed in a private firm or entity must be supported at interview with proof that the organisation was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan, the Registrar of Firms, or another relevant regulatory authority throughout the claimed period, failing which the application is liable to rejection.

Candidates must apply online only at www.ppsc.gop.pk and pay the Rs. 600 fee through an approved digital or bank channel before the 26 October 2026 closing date. Serving employees should secure their department's NOC in advance, and full case-specific conditions are detailed in the official PPSC advertisement. Candidates should note that no fresh applications will be invited even if the concerned department later increases or decreases the number of advertised posts, and that test schedules, syllabi and all related notices are issued solely on the official PPSC website — information shared through any other source, including social media or private coaching pages, should not be trusted. Federal, semi-government, autonomous-body and local-body employees are reminded they are not entitled to age relaxation for their period of such service when applying against this advertisement.
