Vacancy Details: Three Technician Designations
NADRA’s data centres are among the most critical IT facilities in the country, running the national identity database and its network of registration centres. The current recruitment covers the facility teams that keep those data centres powered, cooled and secure:
Deputy Superintendent (Technician — Data Centre Facility): the senior technician role, posted at Islamabad headquarters and Lahore region.
Assistant Superintendent (Technician — Data Centre Facility): the mid-level role, posted at Islamabad headquarters, Lahore region and Sargodha region.
Junior Executive (Technician — Data Centre Facility): the entry-level role, posted at Islamabad headquarters.
Vacancy count: the advertisement does not state the number of vacancies for each designation, so candidates should not assume there is only one vacancy per post.
Contract terms: selected candidates are hired on contract, starting with a six-month probation period that may be extended if required.
Duty stations vary by post, so applicants should check the individual vacancy on the NADRA careers portal and apply for the station they can actually serve at.
Eligibility: DAE Qualification in a Relevant Field
All three designations require the same basic qualification, with the experience requirement rising by level:
Qualification: a Diploma of Associate Engineering (DAE) in Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical or another relevant field.
Recognition: the diploma must be recognised and attested by the relevant technical board.
Deputy Superintendent: at least 5 years of relevant post-qualification experience.
Assistant Superintendent: at least 3 years of relevant post-qualification experience.
Junior Executive: at least 1 year of relevant post-qualification experience.
Experience must be post-qualification: only experience gained after completing the DAE counts toward the requirement.
The advertisement does not specify a salary or grade for these posts, so applicants should check the individual vacancy listing on the careers portal for the pay package.
Age Limits, Including Relaxation
The maximum age limits for the three designations are:
Deputy Superintendent: maximum 35 years.
Assistant Superintendent: maximum 30 years.
Junior Executive: maximum 25 years.
Relaxation already included: the advertisement states that a five-year general age relaxation is already included in these maximum limits, so applicants should not add another five years on top.
Government employees: serving public-sector employees must furnish an official No Objection Certificate (NOC) before or at the time of interview.
Because the relaxation is already built into the stated limits, candidates near the upper limit should confirm their eligibility against the official vacancy notice before applying.
What the Job Involves: Data Centre Facility Work
These are hands-on facility roles, not office jobs. The advertised responsibilities include:
Power and cooling: supporting the operation, monitoring, inspection and first-level maintenance of power infrastructure, cooling systems, UPS units, PDUs, generators and HVAC systems.
Security systems: maintaining access control, CCTV and fire suppression systems at the data centre.
Monitoring tools: using Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) tools to track the performance of all installed infrastructure.
Fault finding: troubleshooting LT and ATS panels and supporting fault resolution in generators, HVAC and fire suppression systems.
Emergency cover: providing 24/7 support for emergency handling and issue resolution, including shift work when required.
Records: maintaining logs, checklists and records for all facility equipment and maintenance work.
Step 2: Find the Data Centre Facility vacancy matching your designation and preferred station.
Step 3: Read the full job description, including the exact qualification, experience and age conditions for that vacancy.
Step 4: Complete the online profile with accurate personal, academic and professional information.
Step 5: Upload the requested documents and submit before 8 November 2026.
Step 6: Keep a record of your submitted application; only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for tests or interviews.
Detailed instructions and forms can also be downloaded from the Downloads section of the official portal.

Documents at selection: selected candidates must provide medical fitness and character certificates.
Reserve candidates: NADRA may extend an offer to reserve candidates if a selected applicant declines the position.
Past NADRA service: candidates with prior NADRA employment may be subject to verification of their service records.
Equal opportunity: female candidates, minorities, transgender persons and differently-abled candidates are encouraged to apply.

Right to cancel: NADRA reserves the right to withhold or cancel the recruitment process, or reject applications, at any stage without assigning reasons.
The HR Directorate’s office address for correspondence is the State Bank of Pakistan Building, Shahrah-e-Jamhuriat, Sector G-5/2, Islamabad — but applications themselves are online only.
NADRA’s Data Centre Facility recruitment is a solid opening for DAE holders who work with their hands — power, cooling, generators, UPS and HVAC — rather than behind a desk. With three levels from Junior Executive to Deputy Superintendent, a six-month probation contract and a clear 8 November 2026 deadline, the window is short but the route is simple: one online application through the NADRA careers portal, no postal applications and no fee mentioned in the advertisement. Check the vacancy for your station, confirm your post-qualification experience, and apply before the deadline.
