Specialist Infrastructure

About This Job

The Urban Unit, functioning under the Planning and Development Board, Government of Punjab, has advertised one vacancy for Specialist Infrastructure through the Punjab Job Portal, to be engaged under the Punjab Affordable Housing Program. Offered on a contract basis, the position is a senior technical-advisory role rather than a routine engineering post, tasked with shaping the infrastructure strategy behind the province's affordable-housing schemes rather than executing individual site designs. As the program expands its housing schemes across multiple districts, the Urban Unit needs a specialist who can bring regional best practice into how transportation links, municipal services and urban-quality standards are planned into each new scheme.

Candidates must hold a BSc (Hons) in Civil Engineering from a reputable, HEC-recognized university, along with a Master's degree in Urban Infrastructure Planning and Designing, Civil Engineering, or a closely related field from an HEC-recognized institution, plus a minimum of eight years of relevant experience in urban infrastructure projects, including the design and management of municipal infrastructure schemes. The position is open to both men and women aged 18 to 50, a notably wider age band than the program's other technical posts, reflecting the seniority and depth of experience the role demands. Punjab domicile is required, and applicants who do not currently hold one can obtain it through the Government of Punjab's Dastak Doorstep Delivery service (helpline 1202 or the Dastak app). As with the program's Quantity Surveyor post, the advertisement lists the district as "All Pakistan," since the Specialist's advisory remit spans every housing scheme under the program rather than a single fixed site.

On the job, the Specialist will provide technical support and regional best-practice input to the Punjab Affordable Housing Program's scheme designs, contributing to strategy development around transportation links, urban-infrastructure quality and the surrounding urban environment. Further responsibilities include assessing current and projected demand for infrastructure and services in proposed housing schemes to estimate financing needs, helping formulate location and infrastructure-investment criteria, assisting in drafting regulations such as a Condominium Act or Land Use and Zoning Regulations, and overseeing the quality and timeliness of consulting engineering firms' deliverables. The Specialist may also be called upon to take on other related assignments as directed by senior program management, reflecting the advisory, cross-cutting nature of the role across the Punjab Affordable Housing Program's various ongoing and upcoming housing schemes. Interested applicants should apply online through the Punjab Job Portal (jobs.punjab.gov.pk), where the full advertisement and application form are posted; as a contract engagement, salary is set as per contract terms and the candidate's experience. The application window closes on 5 September 2026.
