MES GHQ Vacancies 2026 – Post-Wise Breakdown

The advertisement itself says the total is “30+” posts. Two published breakdowns of the same advertisement give different seat counts, so read this note before the table: one detailed breakdown totals 54 posts and another totals 62 posts, and they differ mainly on the Sub Engineer and Lower Division Clerk seats. The table below follows the detailed 54-post breakdown. Candidates should confirm the seat count of their own post on the National Job Portal before applying.

Eligibility Criteria for MES Balochistan Quota Jobs

Every post in this recruitment is reserved for candidates who hold a valid Balochistan domicile or local certificate. Candidates from other provinces cannot apply for this round. The age limit is 18 to 30 years for every post, and age is counted on the closing date of receipt of applications.

The advertisement also gives age relaxation for Balochistan candidates as a one-time dispensation for the financial year 2026-27. An upper age relaxation of 5 years is given instead of the existing 3 years, in addition to the 5 years general age relaxation notified by the Establishment Division on 22 October 2026. Candidates should read the relaxation clause on the National Job Portal listing for their own post, because the exact benefit depends on the post and the candidate’s record.

Education rules differ by post. Sub Engineer posts need a three-year Diploma of Associate Engineer (DAE) — Civil for Buildings and Roads, Electrical or Mechanical for the E&M post — from a recognised technical institute, with knowledge of Office Automation. The Lower Division Clerk post needs Matric with a typing speed of 30 words per minute. The Junior Draughtsman post needs a post-Matric two-year certificate in Draughtsmanship and a six-month AutoCAD course; a short REVIT or 3D design course is preferred. Trade posts need Matric with a trade certificate from a recognised technical training institute, and most also need one year of experience in the same trade. Labourer, Daftary and Sanitary Worker posts need only a Primary pass.

Pay follows the government BPS scales for BPS-01 to BPS-11. The advertisement prints no fixed salary figure for any post, so no monthly pay amount is given here. The number of vacancies can be increased or decreased at any stage before final selection, and the department may cancel the process for any post.
