Good news for DAE holders: Pakistan Mineral Development Corporation (PMDC) — the state-owned company under the Ministry of Energy that runs mining projects across Pakistan — needs an Associate (Electrical) for its project/mining site in Balochistan. The ad went up on 4 October 2026, and here’s the part that matters most: the ad says “Minimum B.Tech/Diploma in Electrical”, so a DAE in Electrical qualifies directly.

Yes — explicitly. The official ad requires “Minimum B.Tech/Diploma in Electrical from a HEC recognized institution.” That slash matters: a 3-year DAE in Electrical counts. You also need:
Day-to-day electrical work at a working mine: preventive and corrective maintenance of electrical systems, diagnosing faults in motors, control panels and switchgear, installing and commissioning new equipment, inspections, record-keeping, and making sure everything meets HSE standards. It’s hands-on site work, not a desk job — say that plainly in your application if you’ve done plant or site maintenance before.
PMDC will call only shortlisted candidates for test/interview — no TA/DA is paid. The ad doesn’t publish a syllabus, so expect questions around your trade: electrical maintenance, motors, panels, troubleshooting, and basic HSE. Keep your experience certificates ready; government employees must apply through proper channel.
Note: PMDC reserves the right to fill or not fill the post, and incomplete or late applications won’t be entertained.
Yes. The official ad requires “Minimum B.Tech/Diploma in Electrical from a HEC recognized institution” — DAE in Electrical qualifies.
20 October 2026 for both the Associate (Electrical) and Maintenance Lead/Sr.Associate posts.
Maximum 47 years on the closing date, with age relaxation as per government rules.
At a PMDC project/mining site in Balochistan. Balochistan domicile holders are preferred.
The ad doesn’t state a figure — it offers an open-term contract at a market-based negotiable salary.
Yes — Maintenance Lead/Sr.Associate (1 post, same deadline), but it requires a bachelor’s in Mechanical/Electrical engineering, so it’s not DAE-eligible.
