Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for these PMA jobs, candidates must meet every condition printed in the official advertisement. The conditions are summarized below in simple words:

• Education: A Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering — this means 16 years of education — from an institute recognized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC).
• Experience: Minimum 05 years of relevant professional experience after the prescribed qualification. Experience gained part-time, through teaching, honorary or self-employment work, apprenticeship or internship will NOT be counted — only full-time practical experience after the qualifying degree is acceptable.
• PEC registration: Registration with the Pakistan Engineering Council is mandatory. Without valid PEC registration, the application will not be considered.
• Age limit: Up to 40 years. General age relaxation applies as per Government Instructions: 5 years for male candidates and 5+3 years for female candidates.
• Domicile and gender: The advertisement does not restrict the posts to any specific district or gender — both male and female candidates can apply equally.
• Travel requirement: The posts require regular travel to the mentioned duty stations. The selected candidates may be posted at any of the relevant duty stations according to operational requirements.

Vacancies Detail

There are only two posts in this recruitment, and both carry the same designation. The only difference is the duty station:

• Assistant Director (Electrical & Mechanical) — 01 post: Duty station Lahore & Gujranwala. The selected engineer will support electrical and mechanical operations on this corridor.
• Assistant Director (Electrical & Mechanical) — 01 post: Duty station Lahore & Sargodha. The selected engineer will handle the same responsibilities on this corridor.

Both posts are purely contractual. The advertisement also states that the Punjab Masstransit Authority reserves the right to increase or decrease the number of any post, or to accept or reject any application — or even cancel the recruitment process altogether — at any stage without assigning any reason.

Why These Jobs Matter

The Punjab Masstransit Authority is the authority behind Punjab’s metro bus systems, and it is expanding its engineering teams as new mass-transit corridors are developed. For engineers with 5 years of experience and valid PEC registration, these two Assistant Director posts offer a chance to work inside a major provincial transport institution. Since the posts are few, competition will be strong — so candidates should apply early and keep their documents ready. The last date, once again, is 8 November 2026.
