Karachi Port Trust (KPT)
Karachi Port Trust (KPT), the public body that runs the Port of Karachi, has opened one senior information technology post: General Manager (IT), in BPS-20. The post is confirmed as Active on KPT’s own careers page, with a last date of 16 November 2026, one opening on merit, and an age limit of 50 years. This is a leadership role for a technology chief, not a junior support post.
The appointment is on a two-year contract, extendable under KPT rules. Applications go by courier only — the advertisement is explicit that applications received without courier will not be entertained — so online applicants and hand-delivered files that ignore that rule risk refusal.
Last date to apply: 16 November 2026. The application package must reach KPT by courier before this date.

What the General Manager (IT) Role Covers
A port runs on systems as much as on ships and cranes. Cargo handling, marine operations, safety, billing and administration all depend on networks, software, data and security working without a break. The General Manager (IT) is the senior officer responsible for that technology estate: its development, its management, its reliability and its protection.
The advertisement does not print a detailed duty list, and this post does not invent one. What it does make clear is the level of responsibility expected: fifteen years in IT development or management, with five of those years as a Chief Information Executive. That combination points to someone who has already led an organization’s technology function — setting direction, running teams, overseeing major systems and answering for service quality — rather than someone who has only worked inside a single project team.
Eligibility Criteria in Detail
The degree must be a master’s in Information Technology or Computer Sciences, or an equivalent qualification, from a well-ranked institution recognized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan. Foreign qualifications are preferred, but a foreign degree that is not recognized will not help an applicant, so check recognition before applying.
Experience is counted in two parts. First, at least fifteen years in information technology development or management. Second, at least five of those years as a Chief Information Executive of a reputed organization. An applicant with fifteen years of general IT work but no chief-level period does not meet the second test, and should not present a senior team-lead role as a chief role unless the title and duties genuinely match. The age limit is a maximum of 50 years, and the general age relaxation of five years is already included in that figure. Government servants must apply through the proper channel and produce a no objection certificate at the time of the test or interview.
Pay, Contract and Terms
The post is graded BPS-20, with allowances admissible under KPT Rules. The advertisement does not state a salary amount, and this post does not claim one — market estimates printed by some listings are not official figures and are deliberately left out here. The contract runs for two years and is extendable, so the post suits a senior leader who can commit to a defined term and earn an extension on performance. Only shortlisted candidates will be called for a test or interview, and no travel allowance is paid for attendance. KPT can cancel the recruitment process at any stage, and canvassing disqualifies a candidate. Incomplete applications — those missing CNIC, educational documents, domicile, experience certificates or the pay order — will not be entertained.

Address note, stated honestly: the KPT careers page and the advertisement summary name the Manager (Human Resource) as the recipient, while one listing names the Chief Personnel Officer at the same head-office address.
