The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority has announced four regular posts in Islamabad under a special dispensation for Balochistan, and applications must reach the authority by 19 November 2026. Published in Daily Dawn on 25 October 2026, the advertisement invites talented, qualified and motivated candidates holding a valid Balochistan domicile to apply for one Dispatch Rider, one Aaya, one Security Guard and one Driver post. All four posts are at the authority’s head office in Islamabad.

What Makes This a Special Balochistan Exercise
This is not a general open-merit recruitment. The advertisement states that applications are invited under a special dispensation for Balochistan, from candidates possessing a valid domicile of Balochistan province, for appointment on a regular basis. That regular basis is a meaningful distinction: unlike the contingent and project posts elsewhere in this batch, these NEPRA posts are regular posts at the head office, which makes them especially valuable for Balochistan candidates seeking stable federal employment.
All four posts are for Balochistan domicile holders only.
Appointment is on a regular basis, not on contract or daily wages.
Place of posting for all posts is Islamabad, at NEPRA head office.
With only one vacancy per post, choose the single post that best matches your qualification and licence, rather than scattering applications across posts you do not qualify for. A Matric holder with a motorcycle licence fits Dispatch Rider; a primary-pass candidate with an LTV licence fits Driver.
Dispatch Rider and Driver Posts
The two driving posts are the most licence-dependent posts in this advertisement, and each requires a different class of licence. The Dispatch Rider post requires a motorcycle licence, while the Driver post requires a light transport vehicle licence. Both posts are in NSG-2, and both carry the same age limit, but the licence condition is what separates a valid application from an invalid one.
Dispatch Rider (NSG-2), 1 post: Matric or equivalent, with a valid motorcycle driving licence.
Driver (NSG-2), 1 post: Primary or equivalent, with a valid LTV driving licence.
Age limit for both posts: minimum 18 years, maximum 30 years.
Check that your licence category matches the post exactly. A motorcycle licence does not qualify you for Driver, and an LTV licence does not qualify you for Dispatch Rider, because the advertisement names a different licence for each. Holders of both licences should weigh education level as well before deciding.
The remaining two posts are in NSG-1, and both require only primary education or its equivalent. The Aaya post is restricted to female candidates, which the advertisement states expressly. The Security Guard post carries no gender restriction in the advertisement summary, but it does carry the same Balochistan domicile and age conditions as the other three posts.
Aaya (NSG-1), 1 post: Primary or equivalent, female candidates only.
Security Guard (NSG-1), 1 post: Primary or equivalent.
Age limit for both posts: minimum 18 years, maximum 30 years.
For primary-pass candidates, these are the most accessible regular federal posts in this batch, requiring no licence, certificate or prior experience in the advertisement summary. That accessibility may mean a large applicant pool, so a complete, correctly addressed application submitted well before the deadline matters more than usual.
How to Apply Online or by Post
NEPRA gives applicants two routes in this advertisement, which is unusual and helpful. Applications may be submitted online through the National Jobs Portal, using the dedicated tab created for this recruitment exercise, or by post or courier with a full set of documents. Applications submitted by hand will not be accepted, so hand delivery is the one route applicants must avoid.
Online route: apply through the National Jobs Portal at njp.gov.pk, using the dedicated tab for this recruitment.
Postal route: send a CV with attested copies of CNIC, domicile, educational certificates and driving licence where applicable, plus two recent photographs.
Postal address: Director General (Admin. and HR), NEPRA Tower, Ataturk Avenue (East), G-5/1, Islamabad.
Write the post applied for clearly on the top right corner of the envelope.
Applications must reach the authority on or before 19 November 2026.
Applications submitted by hand will not be accepted.

Postal applicants should allow generous delivery time, because 19 November 2026 is a receipt deadline, not a posting date. Online applicants should check that the correct post and quota tab are selected, since an application under the wrong tab may not count. Keep proof of submission either way: a portal confirmation, or a courier receipt.
The age limits are stated simply: 18 to 30 years for all four posts. The advertisement also refers to government age-relaxation rules, including an additional provision for this special exercise. Because that wording is detailed and technical, do not calculate your own relaxed limit from summaries alone.
Stated age limit: 18 to 30 years for all four posts.
The advertisement refers to prevailing government age-relaxation rules.
Government servants and autonomous-body employees must obtain a no-objection certificate first.
Age is normally calculated with reference to the closing date, so confirm the rule on the portal listing.
Applicants near the upper age limit should verify their eligibility before applying.
Do not rely on another post’s age rule, since each advertisement states its own conditions.
In practice: if your age on the closing date is within 18 to 30 years, you meet the stated limit. If you are above 30 and believe a relaxation provision applies, check the full advertisement and portal listing before submitting, rather than assuming a general relaxation automatically extends eligibility.
Selection, Posting and Important Conditions
Selection for these posts follows the standard pattern for regular federal posts: screening against domicile, education, licence and age conditions, followed by test or interview for shortlisted candidates only. The place of posting for all posts is Islamabad, which means Balochistan candidates who are selected will be based at the head office rather than in their home province. Applicants should consider that relocation before applying, since the advertisement does not offer a choice of station.
Only shortlisted candidates will be called for test or interview.
No travelling allowance is admissible for test or interview.
Incomplete applications or applications received after 19 November 2026 will not be entertained.
The competent authority may increase or decrease vacancies, or cancel or withdraw the process.
Government servants must apply through the proper channel with a no-objection certificate.
All posts are based in Islamabad, at NEPRA head office.
Applicants should also be wary of unofficial intermediaries. The advertisement prescribes only the National Jobs Portal route and the postal route to the Director General (Admin. and HR), and it names no agent, fee or paid service. Anyone offering a guaranteed post for payment is not part of the official process, and paying such a person will not improve an application.
