Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO) is a public-sector utility under the Ministry of Energy’s Power Division, and this hiring round is entirely focused on building out its internal IT infrastructure team — systems, networks, ERP, database administration, meter data management, and IT security. If you’re an IT professional wondering whether a power utility company would have relevant openings for your skill set, this ad answers that directly: PESCO runs a fairly large internal tech operation to manage its metering, billing, and business systems, and all 13 posts here sit inside that structure.

One Qualification, Eleven Job Titles
Here’s what’s genuinely useful to notice across this entire table: every single post asks for the same core academic qualification — 16 years of education in IT, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Computer Engineering from an HEC-recognized university. What differs between posts isn’t your degree, it’s your specialization and prior work experience. If you hold a relevant CS/IT degree but aren’t sure which of these 11 titles fits your background, the real deciding factor is what you’ve actually worked on — networks, databases, ERP systems, app development, or IT security — not which specific degree name is printed on your transcript.
These Are Lump-Sum Contract Posts — No Path to Regularization
The ad states this plainly: “The service is purely on contract on lump sum pay package basis with no regularization in future.” Unlike some contract postings that eventually convert to permanent positions after a review period, PESCO is explicit that these roles won’t become regular employment down the line. Worth factoring into your decision if long-term job security matters more to you than the role itself.
The ETEA Application Process Has a Specific Verification Step Most Ads Skip
Before you can even apply, you need to create a profile on ETEA’s website, then print an E-Sahulat token and get your CNIC verified through a NADRA E-Sahulat franchise (kiosk) — in person. Without this verification step completed first, you won’t be able to apply for any post at all. This is a physical, in-person requirement layered before the online application even begins, so it’s worth doing early rather than discovering it close to the deadline.
Age Relaxation Rules Are Narrower Than Usual
Most government ads allow broad age relaxation categories. This one is stricter: general age relaxation is already built into the age limits shown above, and no further relaxation applies — except for candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes and Buddhists (3 years), and government servants with two years of continuous service by the closing date (10 years). If you were expecting a standard 5-year relaxation on top of the printed age limit, that’s not available here unless you fall into one of these two specific categories.
How to Apply
- Visit www.etea.edu.pk and apply online — but only after completing the E-Sahulat CNIC verification step described above
- After submitting, print the generated deposit slip (with token number, project code, and your details)
- Deposit the non-refundable test fee via Easypaisa app/agent or any UBL Bank branch
- Keep your original deposit slip — don’t share it with anyone
- Don’t send documents or testimonials to ETEA after applying online; these are only requested from candidates who pass the screening test
Online application form available from: September 17, 2026
Deadline: October 7, 2026
Candidates will be informed by SMS to download and print their Roll Number Slip from ETEA’s website — no separate call letter is issued, and no ported/converted mobile numbers should be given at registration, since that’s how ETEA will reach you.
Other Conditions Worth Knowing
- Candidates working in Government/Semi-Government bodies must apply through proper channel
- Applying for more than one post requires a separate application and separate fee for each
- Dismissed employees from any organization, or those with a criminal record, are not eligible for employment at PESCO
- Selected candidates can be posted anywhere under PESCO’s jurisdiction, not necessarily Peshawar
- Foreign degree holders must provide HEC equivalence certificates
- No TA/DA is admissible for test or interview

Given how many of these 11 titles share the exact same base qualification, it’s worth checking IT Jobs regularly for similar public-sector technical postings, since PESCO-style utility companies often run parallel IT hiring rounds that don’t always get equal attention compared to more visible admin or clerical vacancies.
Based on a newspaper advertisement published September 17, 2026 (DGPR-54/26-27). Confirm complete eligibility criteria and the E-Sahulat verification process directly at etea.edu.pk before applying.
