The Punjab Information Technology Board is hiring for eight information technology roles in Lahore, with applications closing on Sunday 22 November 2026. The posts are on contract and cover cyber security, networking, datacentre operations and systems administration. Applications are made online only through the Punjab Job Portal, using recruitment code MP011-2026.

The eight roles are Assistant Manager Network and Security, Backup, Recovery and Resilience Engineer, Cyber Security Analyst, Datacenter Engineer, Datacenter Facilities and Operations Engineer, Information Security Engineer, System and Virtualization Engineer, and System Administrator. The advertisement lists eight job titles and does not state a vacancy count for each title, so candidates should check the individual listing for their role on the portal. Every role asks for 16 years of education and three to four years of experience, with a maximum age of 35 to 40 years depending on the role.

Four groups of work

The roles fall into four groups. The security roles cover network security, cyber security analysis and information security across the board's systems. The datacentre roles cover the running of datacentre infrastructure and its facilities and operations. The backup and resilience role covers keeping government systems and their data recoverable, and the systems roles cover servers, virtualisation and day-to-day administration. Together they support the digital systems the board runs for the Punjab government, from citizen services to the province's datacentre and network infrastructure. The roles are based in Lahore, where the board's offices and datacentre operations sit, and the new hires will join the teams that keep those services running for departments across Punjab.

How to apply

Candidates must apply through the Punjab Job Portal at jobs.punjab.gov.pk and find the PITB vacancies under recruitment code MP011-2026. Applications sent by email, fax, post, courier or in person will not be accepted. The advertisement reference is IPL-11686, and the notice was posted on 4 November 2026. Applicants should read the full criteria for their chosen role on the portal before applying, because the experience and age limits vary by post, and no salary figure is published in the advertisement.

The board is based on the 11th floor of the Arfa Software Technology Park on Ferozepur Road in Lahore, the 17-storey building it owns. The tower stands 106 metres tall, making it the tallest building in Lahore, and it was inaugurated on 9 February 2012 before being renamed for Arfa Karim, the young Pakistani computer prodigy. The closing date for all eight roles is 22 November 2026.
