ITU Project-Based Jobs 2026 – Quick Facts

Vacancy Breakdown – All 12 Posts

The 12 confirmed posts are split across two project groups. The main ADP-funded project group carries nine posts, and the Command & Control Center group carries three.

Contingent paid staff are advertised separately, without a fixed number of seats. These roles may involve office work, driving, electrical work, field visits and other project tasks, and they are open to skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers aged 18 and above. The advertisement fixes no pay scale or job titles for contingent staff, so candidates should read the portal instructions for that group before applying.

Who Can Apply – Education and Experience

The Deputy Director post needs 18 years of education, or an equivalent recognized degree, from an HEC-recognized institution, plus at least eight years of professional experience. Experience of working on projects will be preferred for this senior role.

Assistant Director applicants need 16 years of education from an HEC-recognized institution and at least three years of professional experience, again with preference for project experience. Office Assistants must be graduates of an HEC-recognized institution with two years of professional experience; the advertisement does not fix a particular degree discipline for this post, so applicants should check the detailed job description on the portal.

Lab Assistants need a three-year diploma, or an equivalent qualification, in Information Technology, Electrical or Civil fields, plus two years of relevant experience. Data Entry Operators and Composers need a Higher Secondary School Certificate from a recognized board. The advertisement states no typing speed, computer certification or experience requirement for the data entry posts — the portal’s instructions are the final word.

Important Dates

One honest gap: the advertisement prints no monthly salary for any grade — only the PPS grades, PPS-4 to PPS-8. Confirm the approved pay and contract duration through the official portal, not any third-party page that invents a figure.

How to Apply

• Open the official ITU recruitment portal at jobs.itu.edu.pk and find the advertisement covering the ADP-funded projects and the Command & Control Center.
• Read the detailed instructions for the post you want, including its qualification, experience, age limit and required documents.
• Prepare your CNIC, updated CV, educational certificates, experience certificates and relevant diploma, as applicable to your post.
• Submit your application exactly as the portal instructs, and complete it well before 23 November 2026.
• Only shortlisted candidates will move to the next stage, which may include an interview or assessment.

Documents Checklist

• CNIC
• Updated CV
• Educational certificates and degrees (or HSSC certificate for data entry posts)
• Three-year technical diploma, for Lab Assistant applicants
• Experience certificates covering the required years
• Any other supporting document the portal asks for

Why These Posts Matter

Project posts at a technology university suit candidates who want hands-on experience in planning, laboratories and public-sector project delivery. The planning posts carry real responsibility: the Deputy Director and Assistant Directors will work on publicly funded development projects, and that experience is valued across Punjab’s public and development sectors. For diploma holders and Intermediate-qualified candidates, the Lab Assistant and Data Entry Operator posts are a genuine entry point into a university workplace, with a clear pay scale and a defined project role.

One condition to keep in mind: these are purely contractual, project-based appointments. They do not lead automatically to permanent university employment, and the university may increase, decrease or cancel posts according to vacancies and funds.

Fraud warning: Never pay anyone for a job application, test, interview or offer letter. ITU does not charge applicants through agents or middlemen. Apply only through the official portal, jobs.itu.edu.pk, and do not share your CNIC, bank details or passwords with strangers.
