Office of the Executive Engineer (Development), Public Health Engineering Division, Sukkur — Government of Sindh — Sukkur

The Office of the Executive Engineer (Development), Public Health Engineering Division, Sukkur, has announced non-technical vacancies for candidates holding a domicile of District Sukkur. The posts are Driver (BPS-04), Plumber (BPS-05), Helper (BPS-02), Chowkidar (BPS-01) and Naib Qasid (BPS-01). The advertisement appeared in Dawn on 28 October 2026, and the closing date for applications is 20 November 2026.

One fact must be stated plainly at the top of this article, because readers will look for it: the advertisement does not state the number of posts for any of these five titles. That is not a gap in this article's research — every secondary report of the advertisement either gives no counts or states explicitly that the counts are not mentioned in the advertisement. No total is therefore quoted anywhere in this article, and any total circulating on social media for this recruitment should be treated as unverified. What is fully verified is everything an applicant needs to apply: the five titles, their grades, the age limit of 18 to 30 years, the Sukkur domicile and PRC requirement, the Driver post's licence and experience condition, and the submission address in Sukkur.

About Office of the Executive Engineer (Development), Public Health Engineering Division, Sukkur — Government of Sindh

The Public Health Engineering Division, usually shortened to PHED, is the Sindh Government department that builds and runs drinking-water supply and sanitation schemes outside the big city utilities: hand pumps and water-supply schemes, sewerage and drainage for towns, and the public-health engineering works that keep a district's water safe. In each district the division is headed by an Executive Engineer, and the Development side of the division handles the construction and development works — new schemes, extensions and repairs — as opposed to the operation and maintenance side.

In Sukkur, a divisional headquarters city on the Indus at the Sukkur Barrage, the PHED division's work matters daily: the city's water supply, its drainage and its sanitation schemes all depend on the division's field and support staff. The five posts in this advertisement are exactly that workforce. The Driver moves the division's officers and materials between schemes and sites; the Plumber installs and repairs the pipes, fittings and pumps of the water-supply schemes; the Helper assists the technical staff on site and in the office; the Chowkidar guards the division's offices and stores; and the Naib Qasid carries files and runs the office's daily errands. These are BPS-01 to BPS-05 posts — the field and support grades of the government pay structure — but they are regular government posts in a department whose schemes serve the public every day. For a candidate of District Sukkur, a division post in the home district is a stable government livelihood in public service.

Vacant Positions — Post-Wise Details

All five titles are for District Sukkur domicile holders only, and the advertisement does not state a seat count for any title. The table below lists every title with its grade and requirement, exactly as advertised, and the notes explain what each post does in a public-health engineering division's daily work.

• Driver: The division's driver, responsible for driving departmental vehicles safely between water-supply schemes and offices, maintaining the log book and checking the vehicle's condition.
• Plumber: Plumbing staff who install, repair and maintain the pipes, fittings, pumps and fixtures of the division's drinking-water supply and sanitation schemes.
• Helper: Helpers who assist the technical staff with day-to-day site and office work, carry materials and tools, and support the division's field operations.
• Chowkidar: Watchmen who guard the division's offices, stores and scheme premises, keep them secure outside working hours and report any damage or intrusion.
• Naib Qasid: Office attendants who carry files and correspondence, serve the office and visiting staff, and support the daily working of the divisional office.

• Plumber (BPS-05): preferably literate
• Helper (BPS-02): preferably literate
• Chowkidar (BPS-01): preferably literate
• Naib Qasid (BPS-01): preferably literate
• Age limit 18 to 30 years, with general age relaxation as per the applicable rules
• Quotas as reported: 15 percent for women, 5 percent for minorities and 0.5 percent for transgender persons, under Sindh Government rules
• Appointment on a two-year probation, extendable by one year, as reported

• Government servants must apply through the proper channel

The single most important condition in this advertisement is domicile. Every title in this recruitment is for candidates holding a domicile of District Sukkur, and both the domicile certificate and the PRC are part of the required document set. If your domicile is from another district — even a neighbouring one — this advertisement is not for you, and a separate advertisement for your own district's PHED division, if one appears, is the route to follow. Make sure the domicile certificate and PRC are valid and match your CNIC details, because a mismatch at scrutiny is a common reason for rejection.

Education is deliberately modest, because these are field and support posts rather than office-officer posts. For four of the five titles — Plumber, Helper, Chowkidar and Naib Qasid — the advertisement asks only that the candidate be preferably literate. In practice, this means candidates who can read and write can apply, even without formal schooling certificates, and practical ability matters more than paper qualifications: a Plumber who can actually fit and repair pipes, a Helper who has worked on site, a Chowkidar who has guarded premises. Do not be put off if you never completed school, but do attach whatever education and experience proof you hold, because at shortlisting, relevant experience is what separates one support-staff applicant from another. The Driver post is the exception, and it is a skilled post: a valid LTV licence, the ability to maintain a log book, and at least three years of relevant experience are all required together, and the licence and experience must be provable from documents.

Age is 18 to 30 years, with general age relaxation admissible as per the applicable rules. Quotas are reported as 15 percent for women, 5 percent for minorities and 0.5 percent for transgender persons under Sindh Government rules, so women, minority and transgender candidates of District Sukkur should apply and claim the quota that applies to them with supporting proof. Appointment is reported to be on a two-year probation, extendable by one year, which is the standard pattern for Sindh government appointments of this kind. Finally, government servants must route their applications through the proper channel, and every applicant should keep a copy of the submitted application and its submission proof, because no acknowledgement system is described in the reports of the advertisement. A note on sources: one roundup of this advertisement uses generic wording (Sindh-wide domicile, Matric or Middle pass, a salary package). That generic wording conflicts with the specific, Dawn-verified reports used here — Sukkur-district domicile with PRC, preferably literate for the non-Driver posts, and no salary figure — and it is not used in this article.

Salary & Benefits

The advertisement does not print a monthly salary figure for any post, and no rupee amount should be quoted as if it came from the advertisement. Pay follows the Basic Pay Scale of each post: BPS-04 for the Driver, BPS-05 for the Plumber, BPS-02 for the Helper and BPS-01 for the Chowkidar and Naib Qasid, exactly as the advertisement prints them. In the Sindh government pay structure, each scale carries its own basic pay, which rises through annual increments and government pay revisions, and employees additionally receive the allowances admissible under the rules in force, such as house rent, conveyance and medical allowances.

What is certain is the nature of the appointment: these are regular government field and support posts in the Public Health Engineering Division, reported to be on a two-year probation extendable by one year, so they carry the usual government service package, including pension and leave entitlements under the applicable rules, once confirmed. The exact take-home pay depends on the current pay revision, the allowances in force at the time of appointment and tax deduction. Treat any specific salary figure circulating on social media or third-party job pages as unverified unless it appears in the department's own advertisement or the appointment letter.

Selection Process

Selection follows the standard Sindh PHED pattern for BPS-01 to BPS-05 posts. Applications received by the Executive Engineer (Development), Public Health Engineering Division, Sukkur, are scrutinised against the domicile, PRC, age and post-specific conditions printed in the advertisement. Shortlisted candidates are then called for interview and document verification, where originals are checked against the attested copies submitted with the application. The reports of the advertisement do not describe a written test for these posts, and no test date is announced with it; candidates should therefore expect an interview-based shortlisting and should keep their original documents ready rather than waiting for a test schedule.

Preparation guidance: apply for exactly one title, and fill the application completely and carefully, because an incomplete application is the commonest reason for rejection in division-level support-staff recruitment. Attach exactly what the advertisement asks for — two passport-size photographs and attested copies of testimonials, CNIC, domicile and PRC, plus the experience certificate for the Driver post — and submit well before 20 November 2026 so that a delivery delay cannot make your application late. If you claim a quota, attach its supporting proof with the application; a quota claimed without proof is not counted at scrutiny.

Documents Required

• Application addressed to the Executive Engineer (Development), Public Health Engineering Division, Sukkur, duly filled, for exactly one title
• Two recent passport-size photographs
• CNIC (attested copy; original for verification at interview)
• Domicile certificate of District Sukkur (attested copy)
• PRC — Permanent Residence Certificate (attested copy)
• Educational testimonials, if any (attested copies)
• Valid LTV driving licence (Driver post only)
• Driving experience certificate, at least three years (Driver post only)
• Experience certificate, if required for the title applied for
• Quota-claim documents, where applicable (women, minority, transgender)
• Departmental permission / NOC, if you are already in government service
• Submission proof, kept in safe custody
• Any additional document the divisional office asks for at interview

Terms & Conditions

As is standard in Sindh government recruitment, only candidates who meet the prescribed domicile, PRC, age and title conditions are considered, and only shortlisted candidates are called for interview. Applications that are incomplete or received late are not considered, and information found incorrect at any stage can lead to cancellation of the candidature. Candidates must produce their original documents when required, and government employees must apply through the proper channel. No TA/DA is stated as admissible for appearing in the interview unless the department states otherwise, and the department's decision in all matters of the recruitment is final. Quotas prescribed by the Sindh Government are observed as reported in the advertisement, and appointment is on probation as reported.
