Deputy Director (Finance) MIRAD

About This Job

The Tribal Electric Supply Company (TESCO), the power distribution company serving the merged tribal districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has announced a fresh opening for one Deputy Director (Finance) in its Market Implementation and Regulatory Affairs Department, commonly known as MIRAD. The advertisement, dated 17 October 2026, offers the post on a contract basis with a lump-sum salary equal to the BPS-18 pay package, for an initial term of one year that can be extended if performance is satisfactory. The single seat is on open merit and the position is based at TESCO headquarters in Peshawar. MIRAD sits at the centre of the power sector's shift towards a competitive wholesale electricity market, so this role suits finance professionals who want to work on bilateral contracts, regulatory filings and market-facing finance rather than routine accounting. With the Competitive Trading Bilateral Contract Market (CTBCM) taking shape across the country's distribution companies, posts like this one are becoming an important entry point into the regulatory side of the energy sector.

Candidates can qualify through three routes. A full member of ACA, ACMA or ACCA, or an equivalent qualification recognised by a professional accountancy body, is eligible without any stated experience requirement. Those who hold an intermediate-level credential such as ACA Intermediate, ICMA Intermediate or ACCA Affiliate need three years of relevant experience. Holders of an M.Com, MBA (Finance) or MS Finance must show at least five years of post-qualification experience in financial management, contract or commercial finance, treasury or regulatory finance, with power or utility sector exposure preferred. Every applicant is expected to understand CTBCM, regulatory affairs, bilateral contracting and bidding processes, and knowledge of the electricity market will count in a candidate's favour. The upper age limit is 40 years, counted on the closing date. Both men and women may apply, and people already serving in government, semi-government or autonomous bodies must route their applications through proper channel. Anyone dismissed or screened out from another organisation, or with a criminal record, is not eligible. The job is purely contractual and non-pensionable, with no long-term benefits attached.

Applications are paper-based. Download the application form and the declaration form from the TESCO website, complete them, and have the declaration prepared on Rs. 100 stamp paper verified by an Oath Commissioner. Send the forms with a detailed CV, attested copies of testimonials, three references and a recent photograph by courier to the Director General (HR & Admn), TESCO, Room No. 201, WAPDA House, Shami Road, Peshawar. Hand delivery is not accepted, and incomplete applications will be rejected. No application fee is mentioned in the advertisement. Your application must reach TESCO by 2 November 2026, so dispatch it early enough to allow for courier time. Only shortlisted candidates will be invited for interview, and no TA/DA will be paid for attending. If you have the required accountancy or finance background and an interest in electricity market reform, prepare your documents now and send your application well before the deadline.
