Electrician Jobs in Lahore 2026 (02 Vacancies) – Virtual University of Pakistan

About the Organization

Alongside its academic and IT staff, the university maintains its own technical and facilities teams to run campus infrastructure — which is where this position sits.

Electrician Jobs in Lahore – Position Overview

Virtual University of Pakistan is hiring 2 Electricians in pay scale J-VI, with Lahore as the duty station.

This is worth flagging for anyone with a DAE who usually finds only private-sector work: technical positions at public sector universities are advertised far less often than clerical or academic ones, and they carry the same formal application process, written test and interview structure as any other government post.

Two things to be clear about before applying. First, the appointment is on an ad-hoc basis for a maximum of six months at market competitive salary — not a permanent government post. Second, the university explicitly states that part-time, honorary, apprenticeship and freelance work will not count towards the two-year experience requirement, and only experience letters issued by the previous employer’s HR or Registrar department will be accepted.
