The Pakistan Meteorological Department has extended the PMD IFRAP expert EOI 2026 submission date to Monday 2 November 2026 at 4 pm Pakistan Standard Time, covering four individual consultant slots. Send each expression of interest by email to the Project Implementation Unit before that time, using the primary address in this guide and keeping the alternate address as a second route.
Readers who followed the original round can compare this extension with the original PMD panel of experts listing, because only the submission date changes in this notice. For example, a consultant who already prepared a submission for the original round can reuse that preparation and focus on meeting the new time. Also, a new reader should start with the original request and the terms of reference, since this short notice adds no new scope.

What changed in this extension notice
Only the submission date moves in this notice. The original request appeared in the national dailies on 4 October 2026, and it set 26 October 2026 as the first closing date. Under the extension, submissions must reach the unit by Monday 2 November 2026 at 4 pm Pakistan Standard Time.
That shift gives readers a clear second window, but it does not reopen the scope of the round. Also, it does not add a slot, change a slot title, or alter a reference number. In other words, the extension changes when a submission must arrive, not what the panel seeks.
Four consultant slots and their STEP references
Four individual consultant slots sit under this panel, and each one carries its own STEP reference number. Use the exact reference number for the slot you target, because a wrong reference can send a strong submission to the wrong file. For example, the team leader slot and the forecasting slot differ in title and reference, so match both fields before you send anything.
| S# | Consultant slot | STEP reference number |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | System Integrator Expert (Team Leader) | PK-PMD-562898-CS-INDV |
| 2 | Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) and Forecasting Expert | PK-PMD-562908-CS-INDV |
| 3 | ICT / Software and Data Integration Expert | PK-PMD-562912-CS-INDV |
| 4 | HPC (High-Performance Computing Infrastructure) Expert | PK-PMD-414800-CS-INDV |
Each title names a distinct area of work, and the panel covers all four areas together. However, this extension notice prints no duties, qualifications, or experience bar for any slot. Readers must check the original request and the terms of reference for the scope of each slot, since this notice alone cannot support a choice between slots.
The panel unit sits in Islamabad, so readers who track capital-based openings can also look at NIH Islamabad jobs, ZTBL Islamabad jobs, and cyber security jobs in Islamabad for separate rounds. However, each round runs on its own notice, so treat a slot here as a consultancy submission rather than a post in any of those rounds.
Where the terms of reference are published
Read the detailed terms of reference on the PMD circulars page under tenders before you draft a submission, because that page carries the full terms for this round. Also, check the slot title and reference number against those terms, so the submission matches the slot you intend to target.
A short extension notice cannot replace those terms. For instance, a reader who relies only on this page will miss the scope, the eligibility detail, and the submission format in the original documents. So, treat this guide as a date and route update, and treat the original request plus the terms as the working documents.
How to submit an expression of interest
Email is the submission route named in this notice. Follow each step in order, and keep a copy of what you send for your own record.
- Open the original request and the terms of reference, then confirm the slot title and STEP reference number you intend to target.
- Prepare an expression of interest for that slot, with its STEP reference number shown clearly in the submission.
- Then, address the email to ps.mhsp@pmd.gov.pk, the primary address printed in the notice.
- Also, note mhsp.piupmd@gmail.com as the alternate address printed in the notice alongside the primary address.
- Finally, send the email before Monday 2 November 2026 at 1600 hours Pakistan Standard Time, and keep a copy of the sent email.
The button above opens an email to the primary address. Readers who use the alternate address should still meet the same date and time, because the notice sets one cutoff for the round.
What stays the same
All other terms and conditions of the original request remain the same. That line matters, because it keeps the four slots, their titles, and their reference numbers unchanged. Also, it keeps the project and the panel structure as first published.
The project also keeps its World Bank financing reference, Credit No. IDA-73330, as printed in the notice. For example, no new fee, age limit, or vacancy figure appears in this notice, so this guide adds none of those details.
What this extension notice does not state
This notice prints no qualifications, age limits, salaries, or vacancy figures beyond the four slots. Also, it prints no duties or selection criteria for any slot. That gap is not an omission in this guide, since the detail lives in the original request and the terms of reference, not in this extension notice.
Check those source documents before you judge fit for a slot. However, do not borrow eligibility detail from a different panel, project, or job advertisement, because each round stands on its own documents.
