PSCA jobs 2026 bring 49 openings at the Punjab Safe Cities Authority in Lahore, spread across two contract groups. The first group holds 6 contractual posts, while the second group holds 43 short-term contractual posts. Together, the two groups add up to 49 posts in total. For example, the range runs from senior data and artificial intelligence roles to drivers, electricians and attendants across Punjab.
Applications close on Monday 9 November 2026, and most candidates will apply online. However, one point needs care before anything else. The advertisement itself prints salary packages and post counts only. As a result, this guide sends every reader to the Authority career page for post-wise eligibility, and it states no degree, age limit or experience figure for any post.

What Safe Cities work means in plain words
A safe city system links cameras, control rooms and police response, so an incident gets spotted and answered faster. In plain words, the technology watches busy roads and public places, while trained staff pass clear information to the teams on the ground. That link matters in a large city, because a quick and accurate alert can change the outcome of an emergency. However, this guide does not claim a detailed PSCA duty list, since the advertisement prints none.
Readers who follow Punjab policing may also compare Punjab Police jobs 2026, since safe city work sits close to police work in the province. However, the two recruitments differ in posts and process, so check each advertisement on its own terms.
Punjab Safe Cities Authority careers: two contract types compared
The two groups differ in size, pay range and post type, so read them apart before you shortlist. In short, the contractual group is small and specialist, while the short-term group is large and trade based. For example, a data science specialist and a driver will use very different parts of this guide.
| Feature | Contractual posts | Short-term contractual posts |
|---|---|---|
| Post titles | 4 | 5 |
| Vacancies | 6 | 43 |
| Salary packages | Rs 48,500 to Rs 323,810 | Rs 40,000 to Rs 51,347 |
| Hard copy route | Sr 4 (Nanny) only | Sr 1 to 5, all five titles |
The split shapes how you should read the rest of this guide. For example, a candidate for a specialist post and a candidate for a driving post face very different next steps. In short, start with your group, then check your post, then open the career page.
All 49 posts, salaries and vacancy counts
The table below gives the hard facts for all nine post titles, so you can shortlist in a minute. In short, check the basis, the salary package and the vacancy count first, because those three points are all the advertisement prints. After that, open the career page for the eligibility detail behind your chosen post.
| Post | Basis | Salary package | Posts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Executive Officer Data Science | Contractual | Rs 323,810 | 01 |
| Deputy Executive Officer AI/ML | Contractual | Rs 200,000 | 01 |
| Deputy Executive Officer Procurement and Supply Chain Management | Contractual | Rs 200,000 | 01 |
| Nanny / Baby Sitter (Day Care Centre) | Contractual | Rs 48,500 | 03 |
| Electrician | Short-term contractual | Rs 51,347 | 06 |
| Drivers Motor Vehicle | Short-term contractual | Rs 47,424 | 26 |
| Mason Mistry | Short-term contractual | Rs 45,945 | 01 |
| Plumber | Short-term contractual | Rs 45,945 | 01 |
| Attendant | Short-term contractual | Rs 40,000 | 09 |
The total checks out by simple addition. Six contractual posts plus 43 short-term posts make 49 posts in all. Similarly, the driver count alone, at 26, forms more than half of the whole round.
PSCA driver jobs and other short-term roles across Punjab
Driver posts are invited in sixteen cities across Punjab. The list runs from Murree, Attock, Chakwal and Talagang to Taxila, Hasan Abdal, Sialkot and Gujrat. It then continues through Narowal, Gujranwala, Wazirabad and Hafizabad, and ends with Rajanpur, Chiniot, Layyah and Rahim Yar Khan. As a result, the driver group suits candidates who want work spread across many Punjab cities, rather than one Lahore base.
Electrician and attendant posts are invited in a different set of nine cities. The list covers Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Lahore, Gujranwala and Multan, plus Sargodha, Sahiwal, Dera Ghazi Khan and Bahawalpur. In short, these two posts suit candidates happy to work in one of those nine cities. Meanwhile, the mason and plumber posts each carry a single vacancy, so the contest for those two slots may be tight.
Electricians in Lahore may also want to check LESCO jobs 2026 in Lahore, since that recruitment also covers power supply work in the city. However, the two employers differ, so treat them as separate options.
PSCA data science officer and specialist posts
The specialist group holds the highest pay in this round, but also the fewest seats. The Executive Officer Data Science post carries Rs 323,810, while the Deputy Executive Officer AI/ML post and the Deputy Executive Officer Procurement and Supply Chain Management post each carry Rs 200,000. By contrast, the Nanny post at the day care centre carries Rs 48,500, with three vacancies.
These titles point to very different working lives. For example, data science work centres on patterns in large sets of records, while procurement work centres on buying and supply chains. Similarly, the day care post centres on looking after young children at work, not on office or field duties. However, the advertisement gives no degree or experience rule for any of them, so no reader should guess one from the title alone.
That warning matters most for the specialist posts, because a strong title can tempt a quick application. In practice, the career page holds the real test, so open it first and read your post in full.
How to check eligibility on the career page before you apply
- Open the PSCA career page at https://psca.gop.pk/career and find your post title in the list.
- Read the detailed job description and the terms and conditions for that post in full.
- Compare the qualification, experience and age rules there with your own record, line by line.
- Note any document the page asks for, so you can gather it before you start the form.
- Only then move to the online application, with your chosen post already confirmed.
Skipping this step is the biggest risk in this round. In short, a salary figure never proves eligibility, and a post title never proves it either. For example, two posts with similar pay can still carry very different rules on the career page.
As of the evening of Monday 26 October 2026, the October 2026 round was not yet listed on the PSCA career page, so if you cannot find your post title there yet, re-check that page and follow the advertisement’s online apply route rather than treating the absence as the round being closed or yourself as ineligible.
How to apply online or by hard copy
- Open the PSCA website at www.psca.gop.pk/career/ and find the online application route.
- Pick the single post that matches the career page rules for your own record.
- Fill in the online form with care, because incomplete forms will not be entertained.
- Submit well before Monday 9 November 2026, and keep a record of your submission.
- For the short-term posts at Sr 1 to 5, and for the contractual Nanny post at Sr 4, a hard copy application is also accepted.
- Candidates already in government, autonomous or semi-government service must apply through the proper channel.
Before you submit: checklist and common mistakes
- Confirm your post on the career page, not from the salary table alone.
- Check that your record meets the career page rules for that post.
- Complete every field of the online form before you submit.
- Submit before Monday 9 November 2026, never on the last day if you can avoid it.
- Route a government service application through the proper channel.
- Keep your documents, experience certificates and qualifications ready for the interview stage.
Four mistakes catch applicants most often in a round like this. First, applying without checking the career page wastes a strong profile on the wrong post. Second, counting part-time, honorary, self-employed or apprentice experience will not help, since the advertisement rules it out.
Third, a by-hand, incomplete or late submission will not be entertained, so use the accepted route and leave time to spare. Fourth, a result-awaiting candidate should not apply at all, since the advertisement bars such applications.
Selection and other terms to note
Only shortlisted candidates will be called for interview, and later tests and interviews will be run by the Authority. Candidates called for interview must provide relevant documentation, experience certificates and qualifications. On final selection, an HEC-verified degree or transcript will be required, and a foreign degree needs an HEC equivalence certificate. As a result, keep originals and verified copies ready long before any call arrives.
Three further terms deserve a plain reading. Vacancies may rise or fall at any time without notice, so the counts above are the advertised counts, not a promise. The Authority may accept or reject an application, or halt the process at any time.
No travel allowance or daily allowance will be paid for a test or interview, so plan travel on that basis. For queries, call 042-99051606-8 or write to recruitment@psca.gop.pk.
