PITB Jobs 2026 – 8 IT & Cybersecurity Posts (MP011-2026), Lahore, Apply by 22 November

PITB IT & Cybersecurity Jobs 2026 at a Glance

Last Date to Apply: 22 November 2026 — apply online only through the Punjab Job Portal; no offline application will be accepted.

The Punjab Information Technology Board has opened a focused round of eight IT and cybersecurity posts in Lahore, and this is a different round from the one that closed on 4 November. That earlier round, coded MP009-2026, covered 29 mixed posts and has already closed. This new round, coded MP011-2026 under advertisement IPL-11686, covers eight specialist titles in network security, data centre operations, backup and recovery, and system administration, and it stays open until 22 November 2026. Do not confuse the two rounds: the code, the advertisement reference, the deadline and the post list are all different.

All eight positions are based in Lahore and all of them are contract appointments. Every post requires sixteen years of education and three or four years of relevant experience, so this round is aimed at working IT professionals rather than fresh graduates. The advertisement does not state how many vacancies each title carries, and it does not print salary figures or the contract duration, so applicants should read the detailed job description for their chosen post on the Punjab Job Portal before applying.

PITB MP011-2026 — All 8 Positions

What Each Role Involves

Assistant Manager Network & Security (Datacenter & Perimeter). This role covers network and security infrastructure, including network connectivity, security controls and data centre perimeter protection. Four years of relevant experience is required.

Backup, Recovery & Resilience Engineer. This role covers backup systems and service recovery, including backup planning, system recovery and business continuity support. Four years of relevant experience is required.

Datacenter Engineer (Infrastructure Management). This role covers data centre infrastructure, including servers, storage systems and infrastructure maintenance. Three years of relevant experience is required.

Datacenter Facilities & Operations Engineer. This role supports data centre facilities and daily operations, including facility monitoring, operational reliability and infrastructure coordination. Three years of relevant experience is required.

Information Security Engineer (GRC & Infrastructure Security). This role covers information security governance and infrastructure protection. GRC stands for Governance, Risk and Compliance, and professionals in this field help organisations manage security policies, risks and compliance activities. This is the only post with a maximum age of 35 years, and it requires three years of relevant experience.

System & Virtualization Engineer (Data Center Core Services). This role supports data centre systems and virtualization services, including virtual servers, system availability and infrastructure management. Four years of relevant experience is required.

System Administrator (Identity, Domain & Directory Services). This role covers system administration and identity services, including user accounts, access permissions, domain services and directory management. Three years of relevant experience is required.

Eligibility — Education, Experience and Age

All eight posts require sixteen years of education, but the newspaper advertisement does not name the exact degree discipline for each post, so applicants must check the detailed eligibility criteria on the Punjab Job Portal for the post they want. Experience is split into two bands: four years for the Assistant Manager Network & Security, Backup Recovery & Resilience Engineer, Cyber Security Analyst and System & Virtualization Engineer posts; three years for the Datacenter Engineer, Datacenter Facilities & Operations Engineer, Information Security Engineer and System Administrator posts. Seven posts carry a maximum age of 40 years, while the Information Security Engineer post carries a maximum age of 35 years. Age relaxation follows the applicable Government of Punjab notifications. Government and semi-government employees must apply through the proper channel, and the recruitment will observe the applicable Punjab Government quotas, including quotas for women, persons with disabilities and minorities.

Why This PITB Round Stands Out

PITB is the Punjab government’s technology arm, and its data centre and cybersecurity teams run the systems behind digital government services across the province. A round built entirely around data centre and security roles is unusual: most public-sector IT rounds mix one or two technical posts with general administrative ones, while this one offers eight specialist titles, from perimeter security and backup resilience to identity services and virtualization. For engineers already working in network operations, system administration or security operations, the round is a direct route into government technology work without leaving the field they know. The trade-off is honest: these are contract posts, the advertisement prints no salary and no contract length, and the vacancy count per title is not stated, so candidates should read the portal listing for their post in full and apply with their eyes open. The 22 November deadline also leaves enough time to prepare a proper application rather than rushing one in on the last day.

Fraud warning: The Punjab Information Technology Board never charges a fee through agents or middlemen for these applications, and no one can guarantee your selection. Never pay anyone who promises a PITB seat, a test pass or an appointment letter, and never share your CNIC, passwords or bank details with strangers claiming to be recruiters. Apply only through the Punjab Job Portal at jobs.punjab.gov.pk and verify every call or message against the official advertisement (IPL-11686, code MP011-2026).
