QESCO Jobs 2026 – 2,798 Balochistan Quota Contract Posts, Apply Before 14 November

Quetta Electric Supply Company (QESCO) has opened the largest single block of jobs in the federal government’s Balochistan recruitment drive: 2,798 contract posts for candidates who hold a Balochistan domicile. The listings went live on the National Job Portal (NJP) on 30 October 2026, and every one of them closes on the same day. If you live in Balochistan and have been waiting for a large, open recruitment, this is the round to take seriously — but only if you meet the domicile rule, because it is the one condition that cannot be worked around.

Last date to apply: 14 November 2026. Applications go only through the National Job Portal at njp.gov.pk. There is no paper form for this round, and the portal charges no fee.

QESCO Jobs 2026 at a Glance

Why This Recruitment Matters

QESCO supplies electricity across most of Balochistan, so its workforce is spread over the whole province. The list runs from sweepers at the bottom of the scale to accounts assistants and line superintendents at the top, and more than 2,300 seats are marked open to fresh candidates with no experience.

For context, the wider Balochistan drive covers about 4,599 posts from 55 federal departments, and QESCO alone accounts for roughly six in every ten of them.

Biggest Posts in the QESCO Round

Four posts dominate the list, and together they hold more than 1,400 seats:

• Assistant Lineman (BPS-05) — 826 posts: Matric pass. This is the single largest post in the whole Balochistan drive, and it needs no experience.
• ASSA GSO (BPS-07) — 227 posts: Matric science with at least a C grade.
• Vehicle Driver (BPS-06) — 226 posts: Matric plus an LTV or HTV licence and five years of driving experience after the licence.
• Bill Distributor (BPS-07) — 158 posts: Matric pass.

Next largest: Line Superintendent-II (140 posts), Junior Clerk (89 posts), Commercial Assistant (104 posts) and Accounts Assistant (65 posts).

Vacancies by Education Level

To find your row quickly, match your qualification to the group below. These groups are our own reading of the portal listings, so always check the exact wording on your own post before applying.

The driver seats (226) sit outside that table because they need a licence plus five years of post-licence driving. With them, the groups add up to all 2,798 seats.

Eligibility Criteria

The hard rules are short, and they are the same across the round:

• Domicile: You must hold a Balochistan local or domicile certificate. Every listing carries that tag, and candidates from other provinces cannot apply for these posts.
• Age: The portal shows a maximum age of 35 years on every listing. The general federal relaxation rules apply as printed on each individual listing, so check your own post rather than assuming a figure.
• Education and trade: Post by post, from no formal education for Sweeper (122 posts) to a bachelor’s degree or three-year diploma for the senior posts. Several trade posts ask for a certificate or diploma plus one to five years of experience — Crane Operator, for example, needs a trade certificate and five years.
• Licences: Vehicle Driver needs a valid LTV or HTV licence — read the licence line on your own listing carefully.

One honest gap: the portal listings state no pay scale, contract length or test date. Do not believe anyone who quotes a salary for this round as official, and note that QESCO’s own website did not open during verification.
