This one is for the experienced professionals. The Ministry of Industries and Production, Government of Pakistan, is hiring a full project team for “Strengthening the Engineering Industry” (SEI), a program run under the Engineering Development Board. The posts range from PPS-06 up to PPS-11 — senior grades with matching salaries — and the last date to apply through the National Job Portal is 21 October 2026.
What is on offer?
The advertisement covers a Financial Analyst, Cost Accountant, and Economist (all PPS-11), a Business Development/Marketing Outreach lead (PPS-11), Business Development Manager and Accounts Officer/DDO (PPS-07), a Research Assistant (PPS-06), and — interestingly — consultant positions in six engineering fields, also at PPS-11. That is an unusual mix: part finance team, part industry specialists, all for one program.
Who can apply?
Depending on the post, you will need a Master’s degree, CA, ACCA, ACMA, or a Bachelor’s degree from a recognized institution, backed by relevant field experience. The age window is 30 to 55 years. Candidates with Punjab, KPK, Sindh, or Islamabad/Rawalpindi domiciles are all eligible, which makes this a national-level competition. The exact number of posts against each position is not stated in the advertisement, so I will not guess at it — check the position details on the portal.
How to apply
Everything is online at the National Job Portal: www.njp.gov.pk. The Ministry’s website (moip.gov.pk) carries the program details if you want to understand what SEI actually does before writing your application — and I would strongly suggest you do, because for PPS-11 positions the interview panel will expect you to know the program.
My honest take
Project-based federal hiring like this suits people who already have a track record — mid-career accountants, economists, and engineers who can point to real industry work. Fresh graduates should not waste their time here; the experience requirement is the whole point of these grades. If you do qualify, apply properly: tailor your profile to the exact position, because generic applications against PPS-11 posts get filtered out fast.
