Chowkidar

About This Job

The Office of the Wafaqi Mohtasib, Pakistan's Federal Ombudsman, has announced a fresh vacancy for one Chowkidar (watchman) at its Regional Office in Gilgit-Baltistan. Along with three other posts advertised in the same notice, the appointment is on a contract basis under Article-20 of the President's Order No.1 of 1983, and carries a status and pay package equivalent to BS-01 of the federal pay scale. The Chowkidar's role at the regional office covers basic security, gate-duty and caretaking responsibilities that keep the office premises safe and functioning smoothly for the staff who handle citizens' complaints of maladministration against federal departments in the Gilgit-Baltistan region. Support-staff vacancies of this kind at a federal constitutional office are not advertised often in Gilgit-Baltistan, since the regional establishment is small and largely stable from year to year, which makes this particular opening worth serious attention from eligible local candidates.

The advertisement sets the minimum qualification for this post at Primary level, making it accessible to a wide pool of local applicants. The age bracket is 18 to 30 years, a range that already accounts for the standard five-year general age relaxation applied to all four posts in this notice; in addition, the office states that both fresh candidates and retired government employees are welcome to apply, with retired government servants allowed up to a maximum age of 65 years. As with the office's other Gilgit-Baltistan vacancies in this round, this post is open only to candidates who hold a genuine domicile of Gilgit-Baltistan, so residents of other provinces or territories of Pakistan cannot apply for this specific opening.

Candidates meeting these criteria should complete the official application form attached to the advertisement and gather attested copies of their basic educational certificate, CNIC, domicile certificate and any other documents the form asks for. The filled application must then be submitted to the Director (Admn), Office of the Wafaqi Mohtasib, 36-Constitution Avenue, Sector G-5/2, Islamabad, within 14 days of the notice's publication on 25 September 2026; the Ombudsman's own website lists 8 October 2026 as the formal closing date for this round. The advertisement does not mention any application processing fee. Applicants seeking more information about the process can call the office directly at 051-9217212. Since this Gilgit-Baltistan hiring round covers only one Chowkidar position and recruitment notices of this kind for the region are infrequent, interested and eligible local candidates are encouraged to submit their applications promptly.
