Punjab Transport Company (PTC) Engineering Leadership Jobs 2026 — Project Director, Chief Engineer & Manager Engineering
The Punjab Transport Company, a wholly owned company of the Government of Punjab registered under the Companies Act 2017, has opened applications for senior engineering leadership positions in its Project Management Unit (PMU) for the Electric Bus Depot project in Lahore. These roles sit at the top of PTC's technical command structure, overseeing construction progress, infrastructure quality, and project delivery for the depot for a 12-month contract term. Applications close 30 September 2026, and every application must go through the official Punjab Job Portal — no email, courier, or hand-delivered applications will be entertained.
If you've spent over a decade managing large infrastructure projects in Pakistan's public sector, this is one of the more senior civil-engineering opportunities to open up this quarter, with gross monthly packages running as high as PKR 950,000.
1. Project Director — 1 Post
The Project Director sits at the head of PTC's PMU and carries the company's biggest package on this list.
- Gross Salary: PKR 950,000/month (inclusive of all benefits and applicable taxes)
- Qualification: Master's degree, preferably in Civil Engineering, Engineering Management, Project Management, or a related field, from an HEC-recognized university
- Age Limit: 50 years
- Experience: At least 15 years of post-qualification experience, with a minimum of 10 years specifically in planning or management of large-scale infrastructure or development projects. Experience in procurement, contract management, project planning, and stakeholder coordination is required.
This role effectively runs the PMU day to day — anyone applying should have a demonstrable track record of delivering large public-sector infrastructure from planning through execution. Day-to-day, the Project Director oversees the depot's overall management and administration, liaises with T&MD, the P&D Board, the Finance Department, and executing agencies, supervises procurement, construction, and financial management, and signs off on project reports, reviews, and payments.
2. Chief Engineer — 1 Post
- Gross Salary: PKR 850,000/month (inclusive of all benefits and applicable taxes)
- Qualification: Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Transportation Engineering from an HEC-recognized university; a Master's degree is preferred
- Age Limit: 50 years
- Experience: Minimum 15 years of professional experience, including at least 8 years in infrastructure or transport projects covering depots and building construction and management
The Chief Engineer is PTC's technical authority on build quality and engineering standards across active sites, reporting into the Project Director. Responsibilities include planning, designing, and technically supervising all engineering and construction activity at the depot, reviewing and approving designs and drawings, overseeing multi-disciplinary works including civil, electrical, utilities, and EV charging infrastructure, and resolving technical issues as they come up during execution.
3. Manager (Engineering) — 3 Posts
The largest-volume role in this batch, and the one to watch if you're mid-career rather than at the very top of the ladder.
- Gross Salary: PKR 568,750/month (inclusive of all benefits and applicable taxes)
- Qualification: Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering, or a related field from an HEC-recognized university
- Age Limit: 50 years
- Experience: Minimum 8 years of overall experience in building construction design, supervision, and project planning and execution. Experience in public sector building infrastructure projects is preferred.
Three positions are listed under this title on the original newspaper advertisement, making it the most accessible entry point among PTC's engineering leadership roles for this cycle. (Editorial note: the individual Punjab Job Portal listing we could access for this role shows "Total Positions: 1" rather than 3 — possibly a separate listing per post that we don't have all the links for. Verify the current live count before publishing.) On the ground, this role plans, coordinates, and supervises all civil, electrical, and structural works for the depot, reviews drawings and site inspections, verifies contractor bills and progress, and reports technical risks up to the Chief Engineer.

How to Apply
All three positions require online application only through the Punjab Job Portal — https://jobs.punjab.gov.pk — on or before 30 September 2026. Applications received after the due date and time will not be considered under any circumstance. Detailed qualification and experience criteria are also published on the PTC website, ptc.gop.pk.
A few things PTC has explicitly flagged in the advertisement:
- Documents sent via email, by hand, or through courier will not be entertained.
- Candidates must ensure their educational qualifications and personal information uploaded are final — PTC will not request resubmission of any document.
- All candidates are required to check their own eligibility for the position before submitting an application.
- Applications submitted with incorrect or incomplete information, whether intentional or not, will be rejected without notice.
- PTC may ask shortlisted candidates for more information via CV or for assessment/scrutiny purposes.
- PTC reserves the right to cancel or reject any application without giving a reason.
Why This Matters
Senior, well-paid civil engineering leadership roles in Punjab's public sector don't come up often outside of dedicated transit-authority recruitment drives. With PTC actively building out project management capacity across its infrastructure schemes, this is a genuine opportunity for experienced engineers and project managers to move into a top-tier public-sector leadership seat.
