Latest Update
The Quetta Electric Supply Company (QESCO) has announced 2,798 jobs under the Federal Balochistan Employment Initiative. The advertisement was published on 30 October 2026 in Dawn (PID(Q)145/26), and it is one of the biggest job openings announced for Balochistan this year. QESCO works under the Ministry of Energy (Power Division) and supplies electricity to most districts of Balochistan, so most of these posts are field and office jobs inside the province.
The last date to apply is 14 November 2026, and applications are accepted online only through the National Job Portal. There are 46 categories of posts, from BPS-01 to BPS-15, so candidates with very different education levels can find a post for themselves. Read this guide fully before you apply, and also keep checking more government jobs on our site if you are applying at more than one place this season.
Vacant Positions and Number of Posts
QESCO is hiring on 2,798 posts in 46 categories. The biggest share is for field staff, because linemen, meter staff, drivers and bill distributors are needed in every district where QESCO supplies power. Office and accounts posts are fewer in number, but they carry the higher grades, up to BPS-15. The table below shows the main posts with their grades and number of seats.

This is not the full list. All 46 categories, including posts like Cook, Mali, Daftri, Meter Mechanic, Electric Fitter and Data Entry Operator, are shown on the National Job Portal. Open the Balochistan Jobs section on the portal and search QESCO to see every post with its own seats, qualification and district details before you choose where to apply.
Eligibility Criteria
Only candidates with Balochistan domicile can apply for these posts, because this hiring is part of the federal employment initiative for Balochistan. The age limit is 18 to 35 years for every post, calculated on the closing date, 14 November 2026. The general age relaxation is already included in this maximum of 35 years, so do not add extra years on top of it yourself.
Education requirements change from post to post. Some posts need no formal education at all, while the top office posts need a Bachelor’s degree. The table below gives a simple picture of which education level fits which type of post, so you can shortlist your posts before opening the portal.
| Education | Example Posts |
|---|---|
| No formal education / Primary | Sweeper, Cook |
| Middle | Naib Qasid, Mali, Daftri |
| Matric | Assistant Lineman, Bill Distributor, ASSA, Store Helper |
| Matric Science + certificate | SSA, Meter Mechanic, Electric Fitter |
| Intermediate | Junior Clerk, Meter Reader |
| DAE / diploma | Line Superintendent-II, SSO-II, Sub Engineer |
| Bachelor’s | Accounts Assistant, Commercial Assistant, Data Entry Operator |
A few posts have extra conditions. The Assistant Lineman post needs Matric only. Vehicle Driver needs Matric, a valid LTV/HTV licence and five years of driving experience after the licence. Data Entry Operator and Data Coder (BPS-15) need a Bachelor’s degree with Math, Statistics, Physics or Economics, and the candidate must pass a trade test with at least 50 percent marks. Always read the qualification written against your post on the portal, because that is the final word.
Contract Terms You Must Know
Read this part carefully before you apply, because these jobs are not permanent government posts. Every appointment is on a lump-sum contract for one year. The contract can be extended only on the basis of good performance. There is no guarantee of extension, and a candidate should join only if he accepts this condition from day one.
These contract posts are non-pensionable, and they will not be regularised in the future. The advertisement is clear on this point, so no candidate should expect a permanent post later through this hiring. One more warning: the advertisement does not print any salary for any post. Salary figures shown on other websites and social media pages are unofficial, so do not trust them and do not pay anyone who promises you a confirmed salary or selection.
Selection Process: No Written Test
There will be no written test for these posts. This exemption from the written test is given under the rules of the Establishment Division for this kind of hiring. Instead of a test, shortlisted candidates will be called for walk-in interviews at the district level. These interviews will be managed through the district employment cells, so most candidates will not have to travel far from their home district.
No TA/DA will be paid for coming to the interview, so plan your travel cost yourself. Bring your original documents to the interview, because copies alone will not be accepted for checking. A police and character clearance is completed before final selection. For posts where a skill like typing can be taught, the department can train the selected candidate during the probation period, so a trainable skill should not stop you from applying.
How to Apply on the National Job Portal
Applications are accepted online only. Applications submitted by hand or by post will not be accepted, so do not waste time on any other method. If you have applied online before for posts like the recent NADRA jobs, the system will feel familiar, because the National Job Portal works in almost the same way for all federal hiring.
