EDB Financial / Banking Analyst Job 2026 – PAVE Programme, Islamabad, Apply by 23 November
The Engineering Development Board (EDB), working under the Ministry of Industries and Production, has opened applications for one Financial / Banking Analyst post in Islamabad. The post sits in the Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification (PAVE) programme, the national plan to speed up the move to electric vehicles. Applications go online through the National Job Portal (NJP) only.
This is a single vacancy with its own NJP listing. The portal shows the post as live, on a contract lump-sum pay arrangement, with one vacancy and a minimum of two years of experience. Candidates should apply against the Analyst listing itself, not against the programme in general, because each PAVE post carries its own listing and its own closing date.

About the PAVE Programme
PAVE is short for the Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification programme. It is a federal programme that supports the shift from petrol and diesel vehicles to electric vehicles across Pakistan. The work covers policy support, incentive schemes, financing for buyers and businesses, and the systems that track how the programme is performing.
The programme hires specialists and analysts in several fields: project management, finance and banking, accounts and audit, monitoring and evaluation, information technology, and procurement. The Financial / Banking Analyst is the finance seat at the analyst grade, supporting the banking and finance work of an electric-vehicle incentive scheme, where loans, risk and reporting all need close attention.
The post is based in Islamabad, at the Engineering Development Board, with nationwide visits as required. That travel matters: the programme works with banks, industry and provincial partners across the country, so the analyst should expect to leave the office for programme work.
Who Can Apply — Eligibility Criteria
- Education: Minimum 16 years of education in Finance, Economics, Business, CA/ACCA or a relevant discipline, from an HEC-recognised university or institute.
- Experience: 2 to 5 years of relevant post-qualification experience in banking, finance or a related field. The NJP listing records the minimum as 2 years.
- Age limit: 25 to 45 years.
- Nationality: Pakistani nationals who meet the education and experience requirements.
- Government employees: Must apply through the proper channel.
The detailed Terms of Reference (TORs) for the post are available on the National Job Portal and on the EDB website (edb.gov.pk). The TORs carry the full duties and the pay detail. Candidates should read them before applying, because the newspaper advertisement is only a summary and the TORs decide what the job actually involves.
What the Analyst Will Do
The analyst works on the financial side of the PAVE programme. That means studying banking and finance options for electric-vehicle buyers and businesses, helping shape how incentives reach the people they are meant for, and keeping the programme’s financial reporting in order.
Useful experience includes work in a bank or financial institution, SME lending, risk management, financial analysis or a finance role in a public-sector programme. A candidate who has worked on incentive schemes, green finance or electric-vehicle financing will find the work familiar. Strong skills in financial modelling, spreadsheets and clear written reporting matter, because the analyst’s work feeds decisions taken by senior programme staff.
The role is an analyst grade, not a specialist grade. Specialists in the same programme carry 4 to 7 years of experience; analysts carry 2 to 5 years. That makes this post a good fit for a finance professional with a few years of banking or programme-finance experience who wants to move into a national clean-energy programme.
