Chowkidar

About This Job

WAPDA has advertised three vacancies for the post of Chowkidar (watchman), BPS-1, on a regular basis in the office of the Chief Engineer (Hydel), North Warsak, as the final designation within a five-post recruitment drive at this Khyber Pakhtunkhwa hydel project office. All three seats under this post are reserved for candidates locally domiciled in Peshawar, Mohmand or Khyber districts, and the role involves site security/watch duties in support of WAPDA's hydel power generation infrastructure in the North Warsak area. Being the largest single allocation among the five designations advertised, it offers relatively better odds for eligible local candidates from the specified districts compared with the single-seat posts in the same notification.

Candidates must hold a Matriculation certificate (at least Second Division) from a recognized board to be eligible for this post; no prior experience is required given its entry-level nature. The prescribed age range is 18 to 30 years, calculated as on the closing date of receipt of applications, which already includes a general 5-year age relaxation, with a further 3 years available to Minorities/Recognized Tribal Areas candidates and up to 10 years for serving Government/WAPDA employees with at least 2 years' continuous regular service (only one relaxation category is admissible at a time). The post is open to both male and female candidates meeting the district-domicile requirement, and the selected candidates will serve an initial one-year probationary period, with regularization subject to satisfactory performance and conduct during that time.

Applications must be submitted through M/s Central Testing Services (CTS), engaged by WAPDA to conduct the written test, with the interview stage conducted separately by WAPDA. Candidates should register via the CTS website, pay the Rs. 170 prescribed test fee through a bank challan at Bank Alfalah, UBL, MCB or Bank Islami (or via an equivalent online banking transaction), and then send the completed application form along with attested educational documents, domicile certificate, CNIC, and two passport-size photographs, plus the original fee-payment receipt, by courier or Pakistan Post to the CTS office in Gulberg-III, Lahore. As the advertisement states only a 15-day application window from its date of publication without printing an explicit closing date, and the underlying PDF document was created on 31 August 2026, the working closing date is estimated at approximately 15 September 2026. Eligible candidates from the specified districts are encouraged to complete their CTS registration promptly and to monitor the CTS website for roll-number-slip and test-schedule announcements.
