Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) in Lahore is taking apprentice applications from Matric pass candidates in four trades. The notice states 13 places in total, yet its trade counts add to 14, and applications must reach the Lahore office by post before Friday 13 November 2026. This guide to SNGPL apprentice jobs 2026 Lahore covers the four trades, the age limit, the documents, and the postal steps.
A trade apprenticeship suits a candidate who wants hands-on training in one named trade rather than a general post. Picking a trade you can stay with matters, because the training, tools, and daily work differ sharply between a computer bench, an electrical panel, a pipe run, and a welding bay. Readers comparing other Lahore openings can start from the latest jobs listed on ixjob.pk before settling on one trade.

Apprentice trades and openings
Four trades share the openings. Computer work takes three places, electrical work takes two, pipe fitting takes seven, and welding takes two.
| S# | Trade | Openings | Qualification | Age limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Computer | 3 | Matric Pass | 18 to 28 years |
| 2 | Electrician | 2 | Matric Pass | 18 to 28 years |
| 3 | Pipe Fitter | 7 | Matric Pass | 18 to 28 years |
| 4 | Welder | 2 | Matric Pass | 18 to 28 years |
Flag on the total: the notice states 13 places, while the four trade counts above add to 14. Neither figure counts as the verified total, and neither should be quoted as confirmed until SNGPL clears the mismatch. The table reproduces the per-trade counts exactly as given: 3 plus 2 plus 7 plus 2 equals 14.
Who each apprentice trade suits
Computer apprenticeship suits a Matric pass candidate comfortable with basic computer work and a bench-based trade. Readers weighing computer-based public sector work can also look at the Ministry of Railways IT posts for 2026, though those posts sit under a separate notice.
Electrician apprenticeship suits a candidate who likes hands-on electrical work and can follow safety routines with care. Readers tracking Lahore utility openings can also check LESCO jobs in Lahore, which cover the city supplier under a separate notice.
Pipe fitter apprenticeship suits a candidate comfortable with physical site work and measuring, cutting, and joining pipe runs. Readers interested in city utility work can compare WASA Lahore jobs, which sit with the city water agency under a separate notice.
Welder apprenticeship suits a candidate who can work with heat, metal, and protective gear while holding a steady joint line. The notice lists two places, so post a complete set of documents and keep the test date in mind.
How to choose a trade
Match the trade to work you can picture yourself doing day after day, not to the trade with the most places alone. Pipe fitting offers seven places, but a candidate who dislikes physical site work will struggle there even with the wider entry point.
Weigh the document set as well, since every trade asks for the same three documents and the same Matric Pass bar. With qualifications and age held equal across trades, personal fit and honest interest become the deciding factors. Readers weighing other Lahore routes can also check WCLA Lahore jobs, a separate city body under its own notice.
Eligibility and age limit for SNGPL apprenticeship 2026
Eligibility rests on one qualification line: Matric Pass. No higher degree is printed for any trade, and no trade asks for a different qualification from the others.
Age must fall between 18 and 28 years. The notice prints no age relaxation, so no extra years should be assumed for any category. Applicants near either edge should check their age against the printed range before posting. Readers at Matric level can also look at Lahore board jobs, which sit with the Lahore board under a separate notice.
No experience requirement beyond Matric Pass is printed, and no domicile restriction beyond the document list is printed. Domicile appears only as a document to enclose, not as a stated eligibility bar, so do not read a province or district restriction into the notice. The same caution applies to any fee or stipend: the notice states neither, and this guide invents neither.
Documents to post with your application
Three documents travel with the application, and each one serves a distinct check. The identity card proves who the applicant is, the domicile paper supports the domicile record, and the Matric certificate also proves the qualification bar. Send the set complete, because a postal application leaves little room to fix a missing paper after posting.
- CNIC, as the identity document.
- Domicile, as the domicile document.
- Matric certificate, as proof of the Matric Pass bar.
How to apply by post step by step
Application runs by post to the Lahore office, not through an online portal. Follow the steps in order, and keep a copy of everything you send.
- Pick one trade before writing, since the openings are listed trade by trade.
- Prepare a written application for that trade.
- Enclose your CNIC, domicile, and Matric certificate, as the notice lists them.
- Address the envelope to Assistant Manager (HR), SNGPL, Gas House, 21-Kashmir Road, Lahore.
- Post the application so it reaches the Lahore office on or before Friday 13 November 2026.
- Keep a copy of the application and the document set for your own record, and note Thursday 19 November 2026 as the written test date.
Written test date and selection terms
A written test is set for Thursday 19 November 2026, six days after the last date. That gap leaves little slack, so treat the posting date and the test date as one short timeline: post early enough for delivery before 13 November, then hold the test date clear.
Only shortlisted candidates will be called for the test. The notice states no test venue or call method, so do not assume either beyond what the notice prints. The contact number printed in the notice is 055-9200493.
Check before you post
Run this short check over the envelope before sealing it, because a postal mistake surfaces late and cannot be fixed with a quick edit.
- Trade named: one trade only, written plainly on the application.
- Documents enclosed: CNIC, domicile, and Matric certificate.
- Address correct: Assistant Manager (HR), SNGPL, Gas House, 21-Kashmir Road, Lahore.
- Deadline met: posted in time to reach Lahore on or before Friday 13 November 2026.
- Test date noted: Thursday 19 November 2026, for shortlisted candidates only.
For example, common slips include posting without one of the three documents, leaving the trade unnamed, and quoting 13 or 14 as a confirmed total when the notice itself disagrees with itself. A second read of the envelope catches all three.
