Quetta Electric Supply Company (QESCO), Ministry of Energy (Power Division)
QESCO is the largest single employer in the federal Balochistan recruitment drive, with 2,798 of the roughly 4,599 Balochistan-only posts now open on the National Job Portal. That scale matters for young job seekers in the province, because more than 2,300 of these seats are marked for fresh candidates with no experience requirement. A Matric pass candidate alone has over 1,100 seats to aim at, led by assistant lineman, bill distributor and store helper posts, while diploma holders and graduates have nearly 900 seats in technical and office grades.
Largest block: 2,798 posts make QESCO the biggest employer in the Balochistan drive, about 61 per cent of all Balochistan-only posts on the portal.
Fresh candidates welcome: Around 2,398 seats are marked for fresh candidates with no experience, so first-time applicants have a real chance.
Matric leads: Matric pass candidates have the most seats, including 826 assistant lineman posts in BPS-05.
Contract nature: All 46 listings are marked contract on a lump sum basis, and the listings do not state a contract length or pay scale.
No fee: Registration and applications on the National Job Portal are free, so no one can charge you for applying.
Domicile first: Only candidates with a Balochistan local or domicile certificate can apply, and other domiciles will not be entertained.
Eligibility Criteria & Qualifications
Each QESCO post has its own qualification, and candidates should match their education to the post before applying. The field and technical posts mostly need Matric, Matric science or a diploma, the clerical and accounts posts need Intermediate or a Bachelor’s degree with typing or IT skills, and the support posts need Middle, Primary or no formal education. The age limit is the same for every post, which keeps the rules simple.
Domicile: A valid Balochistan local or domicile certificate is compulsory for every post.
Age limit: Maximum 35 years for all 46 posts, as shown on the portal listings.
Application mode: Online only through the National Job Portal. No paper application is accepted.
Seat count note: The post-wise list above adds up to 2,798 seats. One secondary report gives a lower total, so confirm the seat count on the portal listing for your post before applying.
Pay and contract length: The listings do not state a pay scale or a contract length, so do not believe any salary figure quoted outside the portal.
Official contact: Questions can be sent to the listing contact email chr@qesco.com.pk or the Quetta landline 081-9203949.
How to Apply Online
QESCO accepts applications only through the National Job Portal, and there is no paper form. Candidates must create a free account with their CNIC and email, complete the CV section with their Balochistan domicile and education, and then press Apply on each QESCO listing they qualify for. Because there are 46 separate listings, a candidate who qualifies for more than one post should apply on each relevant listing separately.
Step 2: Enter your CNIC, email and a password, and verify your email address.
Step 3: Fill your CV with your Balochistan domicile, education and any experience.
Step 4: Open the Balochistan Jobs section and search for QESCO.
Step 5: Open the post you qualify for, check its qualification and age limit, and press Apply before 14 November 2026 through the National Job Portal (njp.gov.pk).
Apply early and keep a screenshot of every submitted application. If your diploma or degree is missing from the portal drop-down list, raise a ticket from the education section of your CV at once, because tickets can take time to resolve.

Selection stage
Walk-in interviews at district level, after the closing date
Selection Process and Important Conditions
QESCO will fill these posts through walk-in interviews at district level, under the Establishment Division memorandum dated 27 October 2026 that governs this Balochistan recruitment drive. Candidates should therefore watch the portal and their district notices after the closing date for the interview schedule, and keep their original documents ready. QESCO reserves the right to increase or decrease the number of posts at the time of recruitment, so the advertised figure is not a guaranteed final figure.
Selection method: Walk-in interviews at district level for BPS-01 to BPS-15 posts, as stated in the advertisement.
Shortlisting: Apply only for posts whose qualification and age limit you fully meet, because ineligible applications are rejected.
Documents: Keep your CNIC, Balochistan domicile certificate, educational certificates and driving licence (for driver posts) ready for the interview.
No fee warning: The portal charges no fee. Anyone who asks for money to confirm a QESCO post is running a fraud.
Post changes: QESCO may increase or decrease posts at recruitment time, depending on availability.
QESCO Jobs 2026 are the biggest chance in the current Balochistan recruitment drive, with 2,798 contract posts from BPS-01 to BPS-15 and a closing date of 14 November 2026.
