The Punjab Masstransit Authority (PMA) has invited applications for 10 contractual posts across four roles, with online applications open until 23 November 2026. The recruitment covers a director, an assistant director and eight field inspectors for the authority's metrobus and Orange Line operations in Punjab.

The advertisement, numbered IPL-11792, is published on the authority's official careers page, and applications are accepted only through the Punjab Job Portal. The posts are purely contractual, and the authority says the number of posts may be increased or decreased at any stage.

Four posts on offer

The largest share of the recruitment is for field inspectors. Five Field Inspector posts are open to candidates with a four-year graduation or master's degree, with 16 years of education from an HEC-recognised institute. A degree in engineering will be preferred, relevant experience will be given preference, and computer literacy and a basic understanding of data are mandatory. The age limit is up to 35 years.

Three Field Inspector (Electrical) posts are open to candidates with a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering and one year of relevant experience, or a DAE in Electrical Engineering with two years of relevant experience. Computer literacy is also mandatory for these posts, and the age limit is up to 35 years.

The two senior posts are a Director Contracts Management, with one vacancy in Lahore, and an Assistant Director Mechanical, with one vacancy in Rawalpindi. The director's post requires a bachelor's or master's degree in law, contract management, engineering or business administration, or a related field, with 16 years of education and 10 years of relevant experience in contract administration on infrastructure projects, including knowledge of FIDIC, public sector procurement and contract law. The age limit is up to 45 years.

The Assistant Director Mechanical post requires a bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering, with 16 years of education and five years of relevant experience. The age limit is up to 40 years.

Where the field inspectors will work

Field inspectors will be posted across Punjab's mass transit corridors and must be ready to travel regularly to their duty stations. The advertisement splits the five general Field Inspector posts between Lahore and Gujranwala, Lahore and Faisalabad, Rawalpindi and Murree, and Rawalpindi and Sargodha. The three electrical Field Inspector posts follow the same pattern, with one post each for Lahore and Gujranwala, Lahore and Faisalabad, and Rawalpindi and Sargodha. The authority says selected candidates may be posted at any of the relevant duty stations according to operational requirements.

Applicants must upload transcripts with their educational degrees and relevant experience certificates when they apply. The advertisement warns that fake or irrelevant documents, or missing documents, will lead to disqualification, and that documents uploaded with the application will be treated as final.
