What Will You Do?

As a Short Term Expert, you will strengthen NAVTTC’s project machinery under the youth skill development program.

The Procurement Compliance expert will keep procurement aligned with PPRA rules and audit requirements. Both roles report to the program leadership at the Commission’s headquarters.

Why This Contract Is Worth It

  • Youth program impact: the PMYSDP 2023–27 trains young Pakistanis for real jobs; your expertise keeps that machinery clean and effective.
  • Senior-level peer group: you will work directly with program leadership, not in a junior support role.
  • Extension possible: the 89-day term can be extended if your performance satisfies the Commission.
  • Flexible entry: short-term consultancy is ideal for retired professionals, consultants and senior managers between assignments.
