WAPDA Jobs 2026 Lahore – Director & Deputy Director Security, Last Date 13 September

WAPDA Jobs 2026
The Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) is currently accepting applications for two security management posts: Director (Security) and Deputy Director (Security). Both are contract appointments and both are open only to retired officers of the Armed Forces. Applications are processed through Central Testing Services (CTS) and the closing date shown on the CTS project list is 13 September 2026.

These are not entry-level vacancies. The Director (Security) post is for a retired Colonel or Lieutenant Colonel (or equivalent rank), with a maximum age of 52 years. The Deputy Director (Security) post is for a retired Major or equivalent, with a maximum age of 50 years, and candidates who have already worked in a security or intelligence role are given preference. Selected officers can be posted to any WAPDA formation in Pakistan, with WAPDA House in Lahore as the parent office.

The appointment is initially for one year, including a six-month probation period, and is extendable on satisfactory performance. WAPDA’s advertisement makes clear that these contract posts will not be regularised. WAPDA’s own careers page lists the closing date as 14.09.2026 while the CTS portal shows 13-09-2026, so candidates should treat 13 September as the working deadline and submit early rather than relying on the extra day.

Separately, WAPDA also has a Chief Engineer (Hydel) North Warsak vacancy open on the same CTS portal with a closing date of 17 September 2026, so applicants browsing the portal will see more than one live WAPDA project.

The CTS project listing for the WAPDA security positions shows a closing date of 13 September 2026, while WAPDA’s own careers page lists 14.09.2026.

Can a civilian apply for WAPDA Director (Security) jobs 2026?

No. Both posts in this advertisement are reserved for retired commissioned officers of the Pakistan Armed Forces. The Director (Security) post requires a retired Colonel or Lieutenant Colonel and the Deputy Director (Security) post requires a retired Major or an officer of equivalent rank. Civilian security professionals without an Armed Forces commission are not eligible under this particular advertisement.

What is the application fee for WAPDA jobs 2026 through CTS?

The advertisement states a test fee of Rs. 170, which is deposited in the bank branches designated by Central Testing Services. The paid deposit slip must be attached with the printed application form before it is couriered to the CTS office in Lahore. No other payment is required at any stage of the process.

Are WAPDA security posts permanent government jobs?

No. The advertisement describes the appointment as a contract for one year, which includes a six-month probation period, and it is extendable subject to satisfactory performance. WAPDA has stated that these contract posts will not be regularised, so candidates should apply with a clear understanding that this is a fixed-term engagement rather than a pensionable regular appointment.

Note: Candidates are advised to confirm eligibility, salary and the closing date on the official advertisement before applying, as details can change without notice.
