Where the Posts Sit – Division-Wise Detail
The 37 posts are spread across WAPDA’s divisions, hydel stations and project offices, which is why the same post title appears more than once in the advertisement. The HR Division (Establishment) offers one Stenographer Grade-II and two Junior Clerk-cum-Computer Typists. CE (Hydel) Chashma offers one Attendant and one Junior Clerk-cum-Computer Typist. CE (O&M) Tarbela 4th Extension offers one Junior Technician (Mechanical) and one Junior Technician (Electrical). The Training Institutes and Education wing offers four TGTs (English, Mathematics, Islamiyat and Urdu), one Librarian and two Lab Assistants. CE (Power) Tarbela offers one Attendant, and the Medical Services directorate offers the round’s largest single group, ten Staff Nurses.
The remaining seats sit with the Chief Auditor’s office in Lahore (one Audit Assistant), the Transport Directorate at Sunny View Lahore (three LTV Drivers), Mangla Dam Organization (one LTV Driver), the Surface Water Hydrology Project in Lahore (one LTV Driver), the Water Resource Management Directorate in Lahore (one Wireless Operator), Dasu Hydropower Project (one Junior Clerk-cum-Computer Typist and one Surveyor), Hydro Planning (one Surveyor), TDP Tarbela (one LTV Driver) and GBHP Hattian (one Junior Clerk-cum-Computer Typist). When you apply on the portal, choose the serial that matches both your qualification and the division you want, because the same title can carry a different place of posting.
Eligibility Criteria
The one condition that decides eligibility is domicile: applicants must hold a Balochistan domicile certificate. Qualifications range from Matric to Master’s degrees depending on the post — for example, Staff Nurse posts require registration as an A Grade Nurse, TGT posts require a relevant Master’s or four-year Bachelor’s degree with a professional teaching qualification, drivers require a Matric certificate with an LTV licence and five years of post-licence experience, and clerk/typist posts require Intermediate with 40 w.p.m. typing speed and an MS Office certificate. Age limits are mostly 18 to 30 years, with drivers 25 to 35 and TGT applicants up to 35; a one-time five-year general age relaxation has been approved for this recruitment, and government or WAPDA employees with two years of regular service get relaxation up to ten years. Age is calculated on the closing date. Check the exact requirement for your post on the NJP listing before applying.
Two appointment conditions deserve attention. The initial appointment is on one year’s probation, and regularisation depends on satisfactory performance. TGT and Staff Nurse appointments are made on contract or lump-sum terms and are not regularised. Candidates already serving in WAPDA must route their NOC through the HR Division before the closing date, and other government employees should apply through the proper channel with permission.
Documents Checklist
- Balochistan domicile certificate (mandatory for this quota).
- Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC).

- Valid LTV driving licence (Driver applicants).

- Typing, shorthand or MS Office certificates, where the post asks for them.
- Experience certificates, if the NJP listing asks for them.
- NOC, for government or WAPDA employees.

Why Apply — Benefits of a WAPDA Post
A regular government post with WAPDA offers the stability of public service: a fixed pay scale, annual increments, medical facilities and leave under federal rules. For Balochistan domicile holders, a reserved-quota round like this one is also a fairer contest, because applicants compete only within the quota rather than against the whole country. The Staff Nurse group alone — 10 posts — is one of the larger single-category openings in this round, and the driver group, with six seats across four stations, gives Matric-qualified candidates a realistic shot at a federal post.
