The Punjab Environment Protection and Climate Change Department (EPCCD) has announced three new project-based vacancies under the CM Punjab Green Credit Programme in Lahore.
According to the official recruitment advertisement, the department is hiring a Senior Manager for the Emission Trading System, a Technology-Based Carbon Specialist, and a Legal and Contracts Officer. Applicants holding a Punjab domicile can submit their applications through the Punjab Jobs Portal until November 7, 2026.
The recruitment is being carried out under the Annual Development Programme scheme titled “CM Punjab Green Credit Program, EP&CCD, Punjab”. That detail matters for applicants, because project-based posts are tied to the scheme’s life rather than to a permanent department post. Candidates should go in with that understanding, even though the roles themselves are senior and specialist.
Which positions are available
The department has announced one vacancy for Senior Manager, Emission Trading System, carrying the PPS-11 pay scale. Another PPS-11 position is available for a Technology-Based Carbon Specialist.
The third vacancy is for a Legal and Contracts Officer, which falls under the PPS-10 pay scale. The advertisement does not specify monthly salary figures for these positions and only lists their respective project pay scales. Applicants should therefore not assume a salary figure from the scale name alone, and should check the Punjab Jobs Portal listing for the full terms.
Senior Manager, Emission Trading System
The department is hiring one Senior Manager to work on the Emission Trading System under the CM Punjab Green Credit Programme. The position carries the PPS-11 scale and is part of the programme’s work related to emissions management and carbon-market mechanisms.
An emission trading system is, in plain terms, a scheme under which emitters hold permits for what they release, and can trade those permits with one another. Running such a system needs someone who understands both the environmental rules and the market mechanics, which is why the post sits at a senior project scale rather than at a general administrative level.
The detailed educational qualifications, experience requirements and other eligibility conditions for the post should be checked on the Punjab Jobs Portal before submitting an application. The advertisement summary does not list them, and applying without meeting the detailed criteria would waste the applicant’s time.
Technology-Based Carbon Specialist
One position is available for a Technology-Based Carbon Specialist under PPS-11. The role forms part of the Green Credit Programme’s technical work related to carbon management and climate-focused initiatives.
In practice, a carbon specialist in a programme like this works on the measurement side: how emissions are counted, how reductions are verified, and what technology can track them reliably. That work is what gives a green credit its value. A credit that cannot be measured and verified is, for practical purposes, worth very little.
Applicants should review the detailed job description available through the official Punjab Jobs Portal to confirm the required academic background and professional experience before applying.
Legal and Contracts Officer
The EPCCD has also announced one vacancy for a Legal and Contracts Officer under the PPS-10 pay scale. The position is expected to support legal and contractual matters connected with the project.
Candidates should check the official job listing for the exact qualifications, experience and eligibility requirements before applying.
How to apply
Interested candidates must submit their applications online through the official Punjab Jobs Portal at jobs.punjab.gov.pk. Candidates should open the relevant job listing, review the eligibility requirements, and complete the application before the closing date of November 7, 2026.
