About the Lahore Wastewater and Drainage Management Project
This project matters for Lahore because it replaces old, open drainage with a modern sewerage system built through trenchless technology — pipes laid underground without digging up whole roads. The PMU is the team that plans, supervises and monitors that construction work, handles contracts and legal matters, and keeps the project’s accounts in order. That is why the hiring mix covers engineering, law and finance in one small team, and why site and project experience carries real weight in selection.
Who Should Apply
These are professional posts, not entry-level openings. The Assistant Manager roles need a full engineering or law degree plus five years of relevant work, and the engineering posts also need valid PEC registration. Sub Engineers need a DAE plus three years of experience, and the Accounts Assistant needs a commerce degree plus three years of financial management experience. Age is calculated as on the closing date of applications. Candidates who do not meet the degree, registration or experience condition for their chosen post should not apply for it — the portal screens on the advertised criteria.
Contract Terms to Understand Before Applying
All seven posts are purely contract-based for the project duration. They do not carry a right to regularisation into a permanent government post, and the appointment ends when the project assignment ends. That trade-off is normal for donor-funded project units, and it suits professionals who want project experience on a large infrastructure scheme rather than a permanent posting. Check the appointment letter’s exact duration and terms before accepting an offer.
