Is this a government job? KW&SC is a statutory public-sector corporation, so we list it under Government Jobs. It is, however, a 3-year contract with a market-based package, not a regular BPS civil-service post.
Role and Key Responsibilities
The ad describes the CHRO as a strategic advisor to the CEO and a catalyst for organizational change at a utility that says it is going through a major institutional transformation. Responsibilities printed in the ad:
- Formulate and implement HR policies, strategies and procedures in line with laws, rules, regulations and Board decisions
- Lead the full HR lifecycle: workforce planning, recruitment, selection, placement, employee mobility, training, development and succession planning
- Build performance management systems and a performance-driven culture
- Lead organizational development, institutional restructuring and change management
- Manage employee relations, welfare, engagement and grievance redressal
- Oversee a robust Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS)
- Promote diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) and gender inclusivity
- Ensure HR administration, capacity building and a motivated workforce
- Advise the CEO and the Board on strategic HR matters and institutional reforms
The ad says the detailed Job Description and Terms of Reference (ToRs) are on the corporation’s website. Note on the web address: the ToRs line prints www.kwsc.gov.pk, while the footer of the same ad and the email address print kwsc.gos.pk. We report both exactly as printed and do not guess which is right: use the email address and the website shown in the footer, and confirm the ToRs link through KW&SC’s official channels (helpline 1334).
