This recruitment drive from the Ministry of Defence, School of Infantry and Tactics (Cantt), skews almost entirely toward skilled trades and support roles rather than office administration — draftsmen, machine operators, a model maker, workshop and mess staff. One detail in the terms and conditions is worth understanding before you even look at the position list: posts above BPS-6 are recruited on an all-Pakistan basis, while posts at BPS-6 and below are recruited locally. That single rule affects who’s even eligible to apply for roughly half these positions, depending on province and domicile.
Positions advertised:
- Assistant Workshop Supervisor
- Network Technician
- Sanitary Worker
- Storeman
- Stenotypist
- Waiter
- Data Entry Operator
- Draftsman
- Mess Supervisor
- Offset Machine Operator
- Mason
- Duplicating Machine Operator (DMO)
- Offset Machine Helper
- Machine Operator
- Mali
- Model Maker
- Cook / TFC Crew Driver Civil
Qualification requirements across the ad range from Middle and Matric up through Intermediate and Bachelor’s, depending on the specific post — the higher-grade technical roles like Draftsman, Network Technician, and Assistant Workshop Supervisor would reasonably sit at the higher end of that range, with trades like Mali or Sanitary Worker at the lower end. The exact grade-to-qualification pairing per row isn’t something I’m stating with confidence here — if you need the precise BPS and qualification for a specific post, that’s worth confirming directly against the printed ad before applying.
Age and relaxations — this part is confirmed and worth reading closely:
- Upper age limit is calculated as of the application closing date
- A standard 5-year relaxation applies under normal government rules
- Candidates from Azad Kashmir, Balochistan, and other listed backward/tribal areas get up to 13 years of relaxation
- Retired Armed Forces personnel get 15 years, or their actual years of service, whichever is less
- Government or contract employees with 2+ years of service by the closing date get an additional relaxation
Other terms:
- Recruitment follows the Civil Servants Act, 1973
- Currently serving government employees may apply through proper departmental channel — but concealing existing government employment on the application makes it void if discovered later, at any stage
- Bring original documents plus attested copies to the interview; no TA/DA is paid for attending
- The department can cancel any advertised post at any point in the process, even after interviews are conducted
- All appointments start on probation, extendable up to one year
- Candidates who attach experience documents with their application get preference at interview stage
Application fee: Rs. 600, payable via bank draft in favour of the School of Infantry and Tactics.
How to apply: Applications go to the School of Infantry and Tactics, Cantt. Late submissions will not be entertained.
Deadline: 18 September, 2026.
Given how many of these roles are trade and technical-support positions, it’s worth also checking Islamabad Jobs generally, since Defence Ministry trade recruitment tends to repeat on a cycle rather than being one-off.
