Who can apply for each post
Qualifications and experience vary by post, so applicants should read the full advertisement before applying. The Accounts and Operations Supervisor post needs a B.Com degree with the relevant certification, plus 10 years of experience in team development, leadership and distribution or logistics operations.
The Trade Compliance Assistant post needs a bachelor’s degree in English Literature with a diploma in international import and export. The Sub Engineer Electrical post needs relevant technical education in electrical engineering or electrical technology.
Drone Operator applicants need the relevant qualification and practical experience in drone operations. Tractor Operator applicants need a valid driving licence and relevant operational experience.
Tubewell Technician and Plumber applicants must meet the technical qualification and experience rules set out in the advertisement. Support staff posts, including Office Boy and Janitor, carry literacy requirements instead of higher degrees.
How to apply before the deadline
Applicants must apply online through the Punjab government’s official job portal at jobs.punjab.gov.pk. They should search for the Shrimp Aquaculture Project vacancies, select the post they want, and complete the online form with accurate personal, educational and experience details.
After submitting the online form, applicants must print the confirmation generated by the portal. They must attach attested copies of their CNIC, Punjab domicile, passport-size photograph, educational certificates, degrees and experience certificates.
The complete package must reach the Project Director’s office by the announced deadline. The online step alone is not enough, because the printed application and documents form part of the process.
Why shrimp farming jobs matter in Punjab
Shrimp farming is a newer line of work in Punjab, and the mix of posts shows what the project needs on the ground. Alongside farm and technical staff, the project is hiring for compliance, accounts, transport and laboratory support.
For job seekers in Muzaffargarh and Sargodha, the timing is tight. The online window closes on November 13, and the printed package must follow by November 16. Applicants who wait until the last days risk missing the second step.
Punjab has also been active on province-level schemes in other areas. Feature Pakistan reported on a school monitoring app covering 60,015 schools in the province, and Feature Pakistan reported on a Rs10 billion cancer hospital project. The shrimp project sits in a different sector, but it follows the same pattern of a province-level scheme tied to a specific programme.
Candidates should check the age limits and experience rules for their chosen post, because those rules differ across the 13 categories. The advertisement, not a summary, is the final guide.
