VESS Project Manager 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 VESS Project Manager under the Lahore Air Improvement Framework (LAIF) — the highest-graded and highest-paying role in the entire LAIF recruitment batch, at up to PKR 570,000/month.


As the highest-graded role in the entire LAIF recruitment batch, this position carries overall responsibility for the Vehicular Emission Scanning System (VESS) — the enforcement side of LAIF's air quality strategy, which identifies high-emitting vehicles on Lahore's roads using remote sensing and automated licence-plate recognition. Coordinating a rollout at this scale means working across an unusually wide set of stakeholders: EPA Punjab, the Transport Department, Traffic Police, Excise & Taxation, PITB, and Punjab Safe Cities Authority all have a stake in how this system functions.


This is genuinely senior public-sector program management — the kind of role where success depends as much on stakeholder alignment across multiple government departments as it does on technical oversight of the RSD and PEMS field operations themselves. For a candidate with a decade of relevant experience and a track record managing complex, multi-agency environmental or infrastructure projects, this is one of the most consequential and highest-paying positions currently open in Punjab's public sector.
