The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) operates under the Prime Minister’s Office and is Pakistan’s apex body for disaster risk management and emergency response coordination. This hiring round covers 8 distinct positions on a contractual, lump-sum package basis, and there’s a detail in the contract terms worth reading before anything else — because it directly affects how secure this job actually is beyond the initial hiring.
The Positions
Deputy Manager (RM&M) (Lump Sum Package Equivalent to PPS-08, 01 vacancy)
Assistant Manager (IT Ops) (Equivalent to PPS-07, 01 vacancy)
Store Man (Equivalent to PPS-04, 01 vacancy)
Technician-IT (Multimedia Operations) (Equivalent to PPS-05, 03 vacancies)
Technician (Voice & NWs) (Equivalent to PPS-05, 02 vacancies)
Office Assistant (Equivalent to PPS-05, 01 vacancy)
Senior Store Supervisor (Equivalent to PPS-06, 01 vacancy)
Deputy Manager (HR) (Equivalent to PPS-08, 01 vacancy)
Two Separate Contract Terms Apply Here — Don’t Confuse Them
This is the detail most worth reading carefully. The ad states these posts are contractual for an initial period of 24 months, extendable on requirement basis — that’s the headline contract duration. But buried in the instructions is a second, separate condition: “All selected candidates will be asked to serve for a period of 18 months (minimum) as a departmental mandatory requirement.” These are two different numbers describing two different things — the 24-month figure is your contract’s initial term, while the 18-month figure is a minimum mandatory service commitment once you’re selected. In practical terms, this likely means you can’t simply leave partway through your contract even if you find something else — there’s a stated minimum tenure you’re expected to serve out.
No Qualification Details Are Printed — Only Pay Grade Equivalents
Unlike most ads on this site, this one gives you the post name, the PPS-equivalent lump-sum pay grade, and the number of vacancies — but no qualification, experience, or age requirement is stated anywhere in the table. The ad notes that “detailed job descriptions of the advertised posts are available on NDMA website http://ndma.gov.pk/careers/” — meaning the print ad is essentially a summary pointing you toward the full criteria elsewhere. Don’t assume eligibility based on job title alone; check the actual ToRs on NDMA’s website before applying.
Applications Go Through Two Separate Channels — Both Required
This isn’t a choice between post or email — the ad asks for both:
- Hard copy by post: PO Box No. 3356, GPO, Islamabad, within 15 days of the advertisement’s publication
- Online, via two separate email addresses: consultantprojectdev@ndma.gov.pk and diradmin@ndma.gov.pk
Sending only one or the other may not satisfy the requirement as written — the instructions list both as part of the application process rather than presenting them as alternatives.
One formatting detail that matters: the name of the post you’re applying for must be clearly mentioned on the top right corner of the envelope. This is a specific, easy-to-miss instruction — if your envelope doesn’t carry this, your application could be set aside during initial sorting regardless of its contents.
How to Apply
- Post: PO Box No. 3356, GPO, Islamabad
- Email: consultantprojectdev@ndma.gov.pk and diradmin@ndma.gov.pk
- Full job descriptions: ndma.gov.pk/careers/
Deadline: within 15 days of the advertisement’s publication (published September 22, 2026), putting the closing date around October 7, 2026.
Other Conditions
- Selection is on open merit basis
- Only shortlisted candidates will be called for test/interview
- Shortlisted candidates must present original documents, duly attested by HEC, at interview
- Lump-sum monthly package will be offered based on the selected candidate’s domain skills and relevant experience — meaning pay isn’t necessarily fixed even within the same post, and may vary by individual negotiation/assessment
- Applications received after the due date will not be entertained
- Management reserves the right to increase/decrease the number of posts, or reject any or all applications without assigning a reason, or cancel the recruitment process/advertisement at any stage
- No TA/DA is admissible for test/interview
Contact: Director (Administration), National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Islamabad
Given how the pay package here is explicitly tied to individual domain skills and experience rather than a fixed rate, it’s worth checking Islamabad jobs regularly for similar federal-level contractual postings, since compensation structures like this one tend to reward candidates who can clearly demonstrate specialized experience during the interview stage.
Based on a newspaper advertisement published in Daily The News, September 22, 2026 (PID(I)2689/26). No qualification or age criteria are printed in this ad — confirm complete eligibility directly at ndma.gov.pk/careers before applying.
