Vacancies in this round
| Post | What the post asks for | Maximum age |
|---|---|---|
| Khakrob (Sanitary Worker) | Literate | 40 years |
| Cook | 3 years experience | 40 years |
Two posts are open, and each one carries its own requirement, so read the table first and then pick the post that matches your background. Applicants who want a wider look at WAPDA support roles can also check the WAPDA Naib Qasid round.
Which post fits you?
| If your background is | Look at |
|---|---|
| Literate, and comfortable with hands-on cleaning and sanitation work | Khakrob (Sanitary Worker) |
| Three years of cooking work | Cook |
Choose the post that matches what you can already show. A literate candidate with no formal trade fits the Khakrob post, while a candidate with three years of cooking work fits the Cook post. When both fit, pick the one where your background is stronger, because a clear match reads better than a stretched one.
Khakrob (sanitary worker) post
Khakrob is the title WAPDA uses for a sanitary worker. The work covers cleaning and sanitation duties in WAPDA offices, so it suits a candidate who is comfortable with hands-on cleaning work.
Literacy is the only qualification printed for this post, which means the candidate can read and write. The maximum age is 40 years, and age relaxation applies as per rules. Readers looking at similar sanitation work can also check THQ sanitary worker jobs.
Cook post
The Cook post asks for three years of experience, so it suits a candidate who has already worked as a cook. The maximum age is 40 years, and age relaxation applies as per rules.
Experience is the deciding factor here, because no separate qualification is printed for this post. Keep proof of your cooking experience ready with the application, so the record matches the claim.
Age limit and relaxation
Both posts carry a maximum age of 40 years. Age relaxation applies as per rules. No combined maximum age is printed, so this guide does not add the relaxation to the 40 year limit to make a new figure.
Government employees must apply through proper channel. That rule sits apart from the age rule, so serving candidates should sort the channel first and then check the age limit.
What WAPDA does
WAPDA is the Water and Power Development Authority, the public authority behind water and power development in Pakistan. Its head office, WAPDA House, stands in Lahore, and that is where this application goes.
Support posts such as Khakrob and Cook keep those offices running day to day, so the work is practical and steady. A candidate who joins in one of these posts works inside that office setup, not on a construction site.
How to apply by post
There is no online apply route in this listing, so do not wait for a form to appear. A postal application needs travel time, so post it early rather than on the last day.
- Choose one post, Khakrob or Cook, and write the application for that post.
- Address the envelope to the Director General (Recruitment), WAPDA, B-26, WAPDA House, Lahore.
- Post the application in time to reach within 15 days of publication.
- Government employees must apply through proper channel.
- For questions, call 042-99200483 or email dgrectt@wapda.gov.pk.

Run through the list once more before you seal the envelope. A short check now saves a rejected application later. Readers weighing other Lahore public sector openings can also check WASA jobs in Lahore.
Common mistakes to avoid
Several avoidable errors weaken postal applications, and each one traces back to skipping a printed condition. One error is waiting for an online form, when the listing asks for post only. Another is posting late, because 15 days pass fast once the post takes its own time.
A third error is adding the age relaxation to the 40 year limit and assuming a higher age fits. The listing prints no combined figure, so check the relaxation as per rules instead of guessing a number. A fourth error is a government employee who applies direct, when the rule asks for proper channel.
Last date
The listing gives 15 days from publication, so the approximate last date is Sunday 22 November 2026. Treat that date as approximate, because no calendar date is printed in the listing. Post early, because a postal application needs travel time.
