Beware of fake job offers
No agent or “reference” can get you a P&D Board job for money, and these posts are filled on merit only. The ad prints no fee, so anyone asking you to pay is cheating you. Apply for office posts only on jobs.punjab.gov.pk, and send Driver applications only to the Section Officer (General) at the P&D Board. If someone asks you for money, report it through the Pakistan Citizen’s Portal.
The P&D Board’s Urban Unit also hires from time to time; see our Urban Unit jobs page.
