* Contract period is printed as “linked with annual performance-based renewal” for these posts. Positions 2, 3 and 6 are plain 1-year contracts. Check the age rule: the table rows say “below the age of 50 / 45 / 40 when applying”, while the general terms say age is calculated as of the closing date of the advertisement (30 November 2026). Plan on the closing date to be safe. Row 4, “HRH”, is not spelled out in the ad.
Who can apply (our reading): positions 1 to 10 ask for 10 years of experience and mostly a Master’s / postgraduate degree, so this is senior specialist hiring. Positions 11, 12 and 13 (Accounts and Finance, Audit, Procurement) need 4 to 6 years and have a lower age cap. Project Engineer, Training Coordinator and Procurement Officer also accept a Bachelor’s / undergraduate degree. Most posts want donor-funded (ADB / World Bank) project experience, so your CV must show it clearly with experience certificates.
How to Apply for SHME Punjab PIU Jobs (Step by Step)
Punjab domicile, the exact degree, the PPS-wise age cap and the required years of experience for your position. Keep your ADB / World Bank donor-project experience ready if the post asks for it.
The ad says: “Apply online at www.jobs.punjab.gov.pk”. Open the official Punjab jobs portal and look for the Program Implementation Unit (PIU) / SHME Department posts (ad code IPL-12001). The ad does not describe the portal steps, so follow the portal’s own screens and keep a copy of the submission.
Attested copies of all academic qualifications (SSC, HSSC, Bachelor’s, Master’s, M.Phil./MS, PhD), experience certificates and domicile. Foreign degrees need an HEC equivalence certificate. Your CV must clearly show donor-funded project experience, supported by the experience certificates.

Send the attested documents to: Program Director, PIU Office, First Floor, Punjab Nursing and Health Workforce Program, 26-Q Johar Town, EOBI Corporate Tower, near Ayub Chowk, Lahore. Quote IPL-12001 and your position. Keep the courier receipt and tracking number.
