The Board of Investment, Government of Pakistan, under its Special Investment Facilitation Division (SIFC Division), has announced two Sweeper positions for its PSDP project titled Sector Mapping & Regulatory Transformation (SMART). The advertisement, bearing reference number F.No.1(28)-SMART/BOI/23, appeared in daily Express Tribune on 21 September 2026.
This is a genuine federal government recruitment — the Board of Investment operates directly under the Government of Pakistan, and the notice carries an official seal and the Project Director’s name and signature line. Unlike some ads that use “Government” loosely in a company name, this one is what it says it is.
Two things worth understanding before applying. First, this is not a standard apply-and-wait process — there’s no submission deadline stated anywhere in the ad. Instead, candidates simply show up for a walk-in interview on a fixed date and time, with their documents in hand. Second, both posts carry a hard domicile restriction to Islamabad or Rawalpindi on a local basis — candidates from outside these two areas are not eligible, regardless of qualification.
Position and Eligibility
Sweeper (PPS-01)
- Qualification: Literate
- Domicile: Islamabad / Rawalpindi, local basis
- Age: Up to 25 years
- Vacancies: 02
- Basis: Contract, tied to the project’s effective duration and any extension in project timelines
Terms Worth Reading Before You Go
This appointment lasts only as long as the SMART project does — the ad states plainly that the initial appointment runs till the project’s effective date, extendable only if the project timeline itself is extended. It is not a standing government position.
Government service rules apply here too: candidates already serving in government should apply through proper channel. Information given in the application form gets verified at the offer stage, and the Board of Investment has reserved the right to cancel a candidacy at any stage — even after employment — if false or forged information is later discovered. Separately, if a candidate turns out not to meet the recruitment rules for the post, the department can withdraw the nomination at any point. The department has also reserved the right to cancel the entire recruitment process, or increase or decrease the number of posts, without giving a reason.
No TA/DA is admissible for the test or interview. General age relaxation applies as per standard Government rules. Detailed Terms of Reference for the position are available at https://invest.gov.pk/careers.
How to Apply
There is no separate application submission — eligible candidates appear directly for a walk-in interview, bringing a duly filled prescribed application form (available at www.invest.gov.pk), original documents, one set of photocopies of all testimonials and documents, and two recent passport-size photographs.
Interview schedule:
- Post: Sweeper (PPS-01)
