Deputy Director (Security)

About This Job

The Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) has announced three openings for Deputy Director (Security) in BPS-18, to be posted anywhere across WAPDA's formations throughout Pakistan, as part of the same recruitment drive that is also filling the senior Director (Security) post in BPS-19. These deputy-level roles support WAPDA's internal security command in protecting its dams, power stations, and other critical infrastructure, and continue the Authority's established practice of recruiting experienced former military officers into its Security Wing across the country.

Eligible candidates must be retired officers of the Armed Forces of Pakistan holding the rank of Major or equivalent, with a maximum age limit of 50 years calculated as of the last date for receipt of applications and no relaxation permitted in that limit; preference will specifically be given to those retired officers who already carry experience in the relevant security field over those who do not. Recruitment is being conducted purely on open merit with no domicile or regional quota restriction, and the position is open to both men and women within the eligible pool of retired commissioned officers described above. Only medically and physically fit applicants who clear the prescribed test and interview will be considered, and the appointment will initially be made on a contract basis for one year, including a six-month probation period, extendable on satisfactory performance and the Authority's ongoing requirements; as with all such contract appointments at WAPDA, the service cannot later be converted into a regular, pensionable position.

Interested retired officers must apply through WAPDA's testing partner, Central Testing Services (CTS), at www.ctspak.com, within fifteen days of the publication of this advertisement, and must pay a non-refundable test fee of Rs. 170 through a bank challan at any branch of Bank Alfalah, UBL, MCB, or Bank Islami, or via an online banking application. The completed application form, fee-payment receipt, and attested copies of educational documents, domicile certificate, CNIC, retirement order bearing SOS/SOD particulars issued by the MS Branch, and relevant experience certificates, together with two recent passport-size photographs, must then be sent by courier or Pakistan Post to the CTS office at 414, F2, Jeff Heights, Main Boulevard, Gulberg-III, Lahore; applications submitted by hand or received after the due date will not be entertained. Shortlisted candidates will be notified of their roll number slips through CTS's official channels, and all applications must reach CTS on or before the final closing date of 14 September 2026, so eligible ex-servicemen with relevant security experience are encouraged to apply promptly.
