Data Analyst / QA Officer Jobs 2026 — Lahore Air Improvement Framework (LAIF)

The Strategic Planning & Implementation Unit, Environment Protection & Climate Change Department, Government of the Punjab, has announced 1 vacancy for the post of Data Analyst / QA Officer under the Lahore Air Improvement Framework (LAIF) — a strong fit for candidates with SQL, Python, and data modeling skills.


With 200 sensors feeding data into LAIF's monitoring system continuously, data quality is the single biggest risk to the project's credibility — a sensor drifting out of calibration or a gap in data inflow can silently distort weeks of air quality readings before anyone notices. This role exists specifically to catch that before it happens, combining hands-on SQL and Python work with the kind of systematic QA discipline that keeps a large sensor network trustworthy over time.


It's a strong fit for candidates who want applied data work with real operational stakes, rather than a purely analytical or academic data science role — daily quality checks and outlier flagging matter just as much here as the technical skills. Given the project's coordination with PITB on the central data management system, this role also offers direct exposure to how Pakistan's public sector is building out modern data infrastructure for environmental monitoring specifically.
