PAEC Jobs 2026: 15 Post Categories, Matric to Graduate — Apply by 31 August
By Mohaiuddin | EduHire
This advertisement (PO Box 2381) is published the way most Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) job ads are — as a “Public Sector Organization” rather than naming PAEC directly. That’s standard practice for PAEC and its affiliated project sites, not a red flag in itself, but it does mean a lot of people scroll past it assuming it’s a vague, low-credibility posting. It isn’t — this is a genuine recruitment covering 15 distinct post categories, spanning Matric-level trade positions all the way to BE/M.Sc-level Assistant Manager roles.
A quick note on the organization behind this box: PO Box 2381 (GPO Islamabad) has a long track record of hosting “Public Sector Organization” ads — a 2019 cycle under this box was explicitly PAEC, while some 2025 cycles have been catalogued by job boards under NESCOM instead. The PO Box appears to get reused across cycles and possibly across organizations, and the ad itself never names the sponsoring body either way. Treat “PAEC” here as the most likely fit based on the post categories and pay scale, not a confirmed fact — the surest way to know for certain is the organization name printed at the top of the original newspaper advertisement.
What makes this ad worth a proper read rather than a quick skim: the pay range across these 15 posts runs from roughly Rs. 43,200 to Rs. 158,000, and the qualification requirements are genuinely varied — Matric with a technical course, FSc, DAE diplomas, and Bachelor’s/Master’s degrees all have a real entry point somewhere on this list.
Domicile eligibility: All Pakistan, including Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Ex-FATA. Age limit: 18 to 35 years. Application deadline: 31 August 2026.
A word of caution before anything else: the biggest risk with this specific PO Box isn’t the naming convention of the application portal — it’s copycat domains. This PO Box’s ads have, cycle after cycle, directed applicants to apply online through a domain following the pattern careerjobs[POBoxNumber].com.pk. That’s the same naming style used by scam pages, which makes it easy for a fake site to blend in. Before entering any personal information, always cross-check the exact domain letter-for-letter against what’s printed in the original newspaper advertisement or listed on paec.gov.pk — don’t trust a domain just because it “sounds official,” and don’t trust a WhatsApp number claiming to submit your CV on your behalf. Never share your CNIC, documents, or any payment through a channel you haven’t verified against the original ad.

The 15 Post Categories, Grouped by Who Should Apply
Rather than repeat the ad’s raw table, here’s a more useful way to think about it — grouped by qualification tier, since that’s how most readers will actually filter which posts apply to them.
Degree-holders (BE/B.Sc/M.Sc/MBA level) — Rs. 154,000–158,000
| Post | Discipline | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Assistant Manager | Mechanical/Mechatronics, Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering, Metallurgy, Chemical, Civil, Environmental, IT (Oracle Developer) | BE/B.Sc Engineering (1st Div) in relevant field |
| Assistant Manager | Physics, Chemistry | M.Sc (1st Div), with applied/solid-state/thermal or physio-chemical analysis experience preferred |
| Assistant Manager | Admin | MBA/BBA (4-year) or MPA/MAS/M.Sc/MA HRM/MS, or equivalent postgrad after intermediate |
Worth flagging: the Assistant Manager (IT/Oracle Developer) sub-category has notably specific requirements — Oracle ERP, RDBMS design, PL/SQL, and BI Suite experience — so this isn’t a generic “IT support” role; it’s aimed squarely at candidates with real enterprise database development background.
Diploma/Technical (DAE, Apprenticeship) — Rs. 44,400–75,000
| Post | Discipline | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Junior Chargeman | Mechanical, Machinist, Electronics, Metallurgy | 3-year DAE (1st Div) from a recognized Polytechnic |
| Technician-II | Chemical, Welder, Hydraulic, Auto Mobile, Auto Electric, AC Mechanic | FSc Pre-Engineering, or Matric Science + 2-year apprenticeship |
| Technicians-III | Bench Fitter, Carpenter, Aluminium Fixer, Plumber, Mason, Painter, Auto CAD | Matric Science, 2nd Div, 50%+ marks |

What This Table Doesn’t Tell You (But Should)
A few things worth knowing before you apply to any of these:
- “Contract/Contingent” basis, against “Specific Project or Permanent Establishment” — read this carefully. Some of these posts are tied to a specific project with a defined lifespan; others are against permanent establishment. The distinction matters for your long-term job security, and it isn’t spelled out per-post in the ad’s summary table, so this is worth clarifying at the interview stage if it’s not specified for your particular post.
- Ex-servicemen preference appears explicitly for Driver-III and some Special Vehicle Operator posts — if you’re a veteran with a relevant Transport (T.T.) class license or heavy-duty driving background, these posts specifically call this out as an advantage.
- The IT Oracle Developer and Environmental Assistant Manager posts are the most specialized on this list — they’re not “any engineering degree accepted” roles; they list specific technical stacks (Oracle ERP/PL-SQL, IS-14001:2015 Environmental Management Standard) that suggest a defined technical need, not a generic hiring quota to fill.
How to Apply
Based on how this PO Box’s recruitment ads have consistently run in past cycles:
- Apply online through the domain printed in the original newspaper advertisement. Past cycles for PO Box 2381 have used a domain following the pattern careerjobs2381.com.pk — but domain names for these ads can change between cycles, so confirm the exact spelling against the newspaper ad or paec.gov.pk before entering any information.
- For posts that require postal submission (typically the more technical/manual trade categories), send your documents to: Director HRM, PO Box No. 2381, GPO Islamabad. Write the post applied for clearly on the envelope and on the application/CV itself.
- Cross-check against paec.gov.pk directly — if this cycle is confirmed as a PAEC ad, the official careers page will mirror the same posts and deadline.
- Prepare your documents in advance: educational certificates, CNIC, domicile certificate, and any relevant experience certificates.
- Submit before 31 August 2026.
Do not pay any “processing fee” to a third-party number or page claiming to expedite your application — this is a recurring scam pattern around PO Box-style postings specifically, since the anonymous “Public Sector Organization” format and shifting apply-portal domains make it easy for unofficial pages to impersonate the real recruitment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really a Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission job, even though the ad says “Public Sector Organization”?
Yes. PAEC and its affiliated projects consistently advertise under generic “Public Sector Organization” wording rather than naming PAEC directly — this is a longstanding, standard practice for this specific organization, not a sign of a fake or unofficial posting.
Are these permanent jobs?
It depends on the specific post — the ad states appointments are on a “Contract/Contingent basis against Specific Project or Permanent Establishment,” meaning some posts may be project-tied and others tied to permanent positions. Confirm this for your specific post during the application/interview process.
What is the age limit?
18 to 35 years, as stated in the advertisement’s domicile and eligibility notice.
Can candidates from AJK, Gilgit-Baltistan, or Ex-FATA apply?
Yes, domicile eligibility explicitly includes All Pakistan, AJK, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Ex-FATA.
Is there a WhatsApp number to apply or submit a CV?
Be cautious — several third-party pages circulate WhatsApp numbers claiming to help with PAEC applications. The safer, official route is through paec.gov.pk or the exact submission method stated in the original advertisement.
