Deputy Director (Legal)

About This Job

Tribal Areas Electric Supply Company (TESCO) is re-advertising the post of Deputy Director (Legal) after re-inviting applications, offering a contract appointment on a lump-sum salary equal to the BPS-18 pay package for an initial period of one year, extendable on satisfactory performance. One position is available under the Legal department, open to both male and female candidates on open merit, and the fresh notice gives new applicants an additional window to apply while candidates who already applied under the original 09-August-2026 advertisement remain under consideration without needing to reapply. This role sits within TESCO's wider effort to fill senior contractual management positions at its Peshawar headquarters, and the Legal seat is being handled as a standalone re-advertisement rather than being bundled with the Corporate Accounts or Finance MIRAD posts advertised at the same time in August.

Eligible candidates must hold a minimum LLB degree, with an LLM or Bar-at-Law qualification preferred, along with at least five years of experience in corporate law, regulatory or commercial affairs; regulatory and power-sector experience will be given preference over other backgrounds. The maximum age permitted for this post is 50 years as on the closing date of application submission, and the single open-merit seat carries no separate domicile or quota condition beyond the stated qualification and experience. The post is purely contractual and non-pensionable, with no long-term benefits attached, consistent with TESCO's other C-level and senior contractual hires, and candidates already employed in government, semi-government or autonomous public-sector organizations are required to apply through the proper channel. Dismissed or screened-out employees of any organization, or those with a criminal record, are not eligible to apply for this position.

Interested candidates should download the application form from TESCO's official website, www.tesco.gov.pk, and submit it strictly by post or courier, along with a detailed CV, attested copies of testimonials, three references and a recent photograph, to the Director General (HR & Admn), TESCO, Room No. 201, WAPDA House, Shami Road, Peshawar, so as to reach by 07 October 2026; applications submitted by hand will not be accepted. No TA/DA will be paid for the selection process, only shortlisted candidates will be called for interview, and TESCO reserves the right to withhold or scrap the recruitment process at any stage without assigning any reason. Candidates who submitted a complete application against the original August advertisement do not need to apply again, but are welcome to do so if their circumstances have changed.
