Age limit and relaxation
The department has set the general age limit for the advertised positions at 18 to 30 years. However, the advertisement also provides additional age relaxation for eligible Balochistan candidates.
The recruitment notice refers to the Establishment Division’s notification dated October 22, 2026, regarding special age relaxation for the financial year 2026-27. MES will calculate applicants’ age and educational eligibility as of the application closing date.
How to apply
Interested candidates must apply online through the official National Job Portal at njp.gov.pk. Applicants must register on the portal and select the relevant Military Engineering Services vacancy.
They must complete the online application form and provide accurate personal details, educational qualifications, domicile information and contact numbers. The department has advised applicants to check their information carefully before submitting the form.
Candidates do not need to send hard copies of their educational certificates at this stage. Government and semi-government employees must apply through the proper channel.
Jobs portals carrying the advertisement say selection will be through walk-in interviews, with no written test. The interviews will be held at CMES (Army) Quetta, near the DIG Police Office on Zarghoon Road in Quetta Cantt.
Why the deadline matters
The last date for submission is November 14, 2026, which leaves Balochistan candidates only a few days to apply. The National Job Portal can slow down near a deadline, so applicants should register and submit early rather than waiting for the final day.
MES builds and maintains military infrastructure across the country, and the Balochistan quota posts cover the full range of its work, from sub engineers and draughtsmen to fitters, plumbers and labourers. For candidates with a trade certificate or a DAE, the drive offers a route into a federal government job without a written test.
Feature Pakistan also tracks other government openings. The Pakistan Air Force has advertised medical branch jobs for 2026, and the Punjab Public Service Commission has announced 48 PMS posts. For young graduates weighing their options, the pressure of a degree that leads nowhere is a familiar problem, and a government trade post can be a practical alternative.
