The table above holds the key facts, so check the last date and the interview-only selection before you read on. Applications close on Friday 14 November 2026, and late forms are not entertained.

Post-wise vacancies and qualifications

Non-Gazetted Staff

RTE Staff

Other posts

In sum, the table adds up to 54 vacancies: 19 in the Non-Gazetted Staff group, 4 in the RTE Staff group, and 31 in the remaining posts. Labourer leads with 14 seats, followed by Lower Division Clerk with 7, and four posts with 4 seats each.

The three groups of posts

Non-Gazetted Staff carries 19 seats, and it holds the two Sub Engineer posts, the Lower Division Clerk, the Storeman, the Junior Draughtsman and the Daftry. For example, the Sub Engineer posts need a DAE, the clerk needs Matric with a typing speed of 30 words per minute, and the draughtsman needs a post-Matric draughtsmanship certificate with an Auto CAD course. Readers who want another Balochistan round can also check the BISP Jobs 2026 Balochistan Quota before they decide.

RTE Staff carries 4 seats, one each for Fitter Mechanic, Switch Board Attendant, Sui Gas Fitter and Welder. In other words, each trade carries a single seat. Each one needs Matric with a trade certificate from a recognized Technical Training Institute and one year of job or trade experience, so the group suits certified tradesmen rather than fresh Matric holders.

The remaining posts carry 31 seats, and they cover the workshop and support trades: Complaint Receiver, Carpenter, Motor Pump Attendant, Painter, Pipe Fitter / Plumber, Polishers, Labourer and Sanitary Worker. Most need Matric with a trade certificate and one year of experience. At the same time, Labourer, Sanitary Worker and Daftry need Primary only. Readers who follow WAPDA rounds can also check the WAPDA Jobs 2026 Balochistan Quota for its Balochistan openings.

Which post fits you

Use the table above as a starting point only, because the age limit of 18 to 30 years still applies to every post. After that, match your certificate against the qualification column, since the trade posts ask for a certificate from a recognized institute and a year of experience.

This round carries no physiotherapy, information technology or artificial intelligence posts, so candidates searching for those roles in the army should wait for a different advertisement. The round is a trades and clerical round, and its largest openings are Labourer and Lower Division Clerk.

Age limit and relaxation

The age limit is 18 to 30 years for all posts, and age and education are calculated with effect from the closing date of receipt of applications. That line matters, because a candidate who turns 31 before 14 November 2026 falls outside the printed range.

The advertisement states an upper age relaxation of 5 years instead of the existing 3 years, in addition to 5 years general age relaxation. No combined maximum age is printed in the advertisement, so the article states the relaxation exactly as the advertisement words it and adds no combined figure.

General age relaxation for candidates from Balochistan was notified by the Establishment Division on 22 October 2026 as a one-time dispensation policy for FY 2026-27. As a result, that notification is the basis for the relaxation in this round, and it applies to Balochistan candidates.

How to apply in steps

The advertisement directs candidates to apply online through the National Job Portal, and the steps below follow that route in order.

1. To begin with, open the National Job Portal at njp.gov.pk and find the Military Engineering Services vacancy.
2. After that, fill the entire application form carefully, in particular the name of post, domicile, educational qualification, gender and date of birth.

4. Next, check every entry once more, since the information provided in the online application form is treated as final.
5. Finally, submit the form before Friday 14 November 2026.
