CM Punjab Green Credit Program Jobs 2026 – Senior Manager, Carbon Specialist & Legal Officer in Lahore, Apply by 7 November

Last Date: 7 November 2026 — apply online through the Punjab Jobs Portal before the deadline.

The Punjab government has announced three specialist posts in Lahore under the Chief Minister’s Green Credit Program, run by the Environment Protection and Climate Change Department (EPCCD). The recruitment covers one Senior Manager for the Emission Trading System, one Technology-Based Carbon Specialist, and one Legal & Contracts Officer. Applications close on 7 November 2026, and only candidates holding a Punjab domicile can apply.

Green credit and carbon markets are new ground in Pakistan’s public sector, which makes these posts interesting beyond their pay scales. The programme rewards activities that cut emissions and improve the environment, and the team being hired will build the systems that make that work — the trading mechanism, the technology behind carbon measurement, and the legal contracts that hold it together. For professionals in environment, climate policy, carbon finance, or environmental law, this is one of the few government openings this year that matches their specialisation directly.

Green Credit Program Jobs 2026 – Posts and Pay Scales

The advertisement does not print fixed monthly salary figures; it lists only the project pay scales, PPS-11 for the two senior posts and PPS-10 for the legal post. Candidates should therefore check the exact package on the Punjab Jobs Portal listing, and treat any salary number circulating on social media for these posts as unverified.

What Each Role Involves

The Senior Manager, Emission Trading System, will lead the programme’s work on emissions trading — the mechanism by which emission reductions are measured, credited, and exchanged. This is policy-plus-operations work: designing procedures, coordinating with stakeholders, and keeping the system credible and transparent. A background in environmental management, climate policy, or carbon markets fits this seat best.

The Technology-Based Carbon Specialist handles the technical side: the tools and methods used to measure carbon, track reductions, and verify claims. This post suits someone comfortable with data, monitoring systems, and the technology platforms behind modern carbon accounting. The Legal & Contracts Officer covers the legal backbone — drafting and reviewing contracts, advising on compliance, and making sure the programme’s agreements stand up to scrutiny. A law degree and contract experience are the natural fit here.

Eligibility – What Candidates Should Check

The advertisement directs candidates to the Punjab Jobs Portal for the detailed educational qualifications, experience requirements, and eligibility conditions for each post, rather than printing them in full in the public summaries. Candidates should therefore open the programme’s listing on jobs.punjab.gov.pk and read the eligibility conditions for their chosen post before submitting. A Punjab domicile is a firm requirement for all three posts.

As a general guide, the two PPS-11 posts are senior specialist roles and will expect relevant postgraduate or professional qualifications with experience in emissions, carbon, environment, or technology work, while the PPS-10 legal post will expect a law qualification with contract experience. Do not guess at the requirements — the portal listing is the authoritative source, and an application that misses a stated condition will not be shortlisted.

About the CM Punjab Green Credit Program

The programme is an Annual Development Programme scheme of the Environment Protection and Climate Change Department, Government of Punjab. Its purpose is to encourage activities that reduce emissions and protect the environment by recognising and rewarding them through a green credit mechanism. The three posts announced here are the core team for building that mechanism in Lahore: the trading system, the carbon technology, and the legal framework.

For applicants, the programme’s novelty is an advantage. Because green credit work is new in Pakistan, experienced professionals in this field are few, and a candidate with genuine carbon-market or environmental-law experience will stand out in a way that is harder in crowded generalist recruitments.
