This ad has an unusual quality: it’s a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government hiring notice that doesn’t name the actual organization or department behind it — only that it’s “a project of a Government organization” operating on a contract basis. What the positions themselves reveal is more informative than the header: this is heavily GIS (Geographic Information System) focused work, with specific mentions of flood inundation mapping, hydrological modeling, and groundwater mapping using tools like ArcGIS, QGIS, and Google Earth Engine. If you’re in the GIS/remote sensing field, the technical specificity here is worth noting even without a named employer.
Applications are open to candidates from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Merged Districts.

The GIS Analyst Post Reads Almost Like a Specialist Job Ad, Not a Government One
Look closely at the GIS Analyst requirements — they don’t just ask for a degree and years of experience, the way most BS-16 government posts do. They ask for demonstrated expertise in specific software (ArcGIS Suite, QGIS, Google Earth Engine) and specific application areas (flash flood guidance systems, groundwater mapping). That level of technical specificity is closer to what you’d see in an NGO or donor-funded technical project than a routine provincial hiring round — another hint that this sits inside a larger, possibly climate or disaster-risk-related initiative, even though the ad won’t name it.
Age Limits Split by Seniority, Not by Post Individually
Rather than listing an age range against every single post, the ad groups them: Sr. No. 1 and 2 (Deputy Director IT, GIS Specialist) get a 28–50 age window, while Sr. No. 3, 4, and 5 (GIS Analyst, Computer Operator, Data Collector) fall under 24–45. The Chowkidar post at Sr. No. 6 isn’t included in either bracket, so if you’re applying for that specific post, it’s worth confirming directly rather than assuming either range applies.
How to Apply — By Post Only, No Online Option
This is a paper-only submission. Send your application along with attested copies of credentials, professional experience certificates, CNIC, domicile, and recent photographs to:
PO Box No. 630, GPO Peshawar Cantt
If you’re applying for more than one position, a separate application is required for each post — you can’t submit one combined application covering multiple roles.
Deadline: applications must reach the PO Box within 15 days of the ad’s publication (September 10, 2026), putting the closing date around September 25, 2026 — confirm this exact date since the ad states a 15-day window rather than printing a fixed date.
Other Conditions
- Only shortlisted candidates will be called for interview; no TA/DA is granted for interview attendance
- Government/semi-government employees must apply through proper channel
- The Competent Authority can increase, decrease, or terminate the recruitment process at any stage
- Terms of engagement for selected candidates are governed by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Project Policy 2022
Given how specialized the GIS-related posts are here, it’s worth checking Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Jobs regularly for similar technical project postings, since donor-funded and project-based GIS/IT roles like this tend to surface periodically without a named parent department.
Based on a newspaper advertisement published in Daily Mashriq, September 10, 2026 (INF(P) 4589/26). The hiring organization is not named in the original ad. Confirm complete details, including the Chowkidar post’s age limit, directly before applying.
