The Gujranwala Electric Power Company (GEPCO) has opened its career portal for GEPCO Jobs 2026, inviting applications from IT professionals for three Assistant Manager positions in its Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) program. This is a rare chance for computer science and IT graduates from anywhere in Pakistan to join one of the country’s largest public sector power distribution companies. Applications are accepted online only through the National Testing Service (NTS) portal, and the last date to apply is 23 October 2026.
If you hold a four-year Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or Software Engineering with at least two years of relevant experience, this recruitment is worth your attention. Below you will find the complete breakdown of the advertised posts, eligibility criteria, age limits, the Rs 270 application fee, and the exact step-by-step NTS application method — all based on the official advertisement published on GEPCO’s own careers page.
About GEPCO
The Gujranwala Electric Power Company, commonly known as GEPCO, is a public sector electricity distribution company serving more than 5.1 million consumers across its licensed service area. Headquartered at 565-A Model Town, Gujranwala, the company is responsible for the distribution of electricity, billing, and customer service in one of Pakistan’s most industrially active regions.
In recent years, GEPCO has been investing heavily in its Advanced Metering Infrastructure — the smart meter system that modernises electricity consumption monitoring, reduces line losses, and improves billing accuracy. The three Assistant Manager posts announced in this advertisement directly support that program: database administration, network support, and meter data management. Professionals joining now will be working on a live, large-scale digital transformation project rather than routine desk work.
Vacant Positions
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Post Name | Assistant Manager (Database Administration) |
| Number of Seats | 01 |
| Post Name | Assistant Manager (Network Support) |
| Number of Seats | 01 |
| Post Name | Assistant Manager (Meter Data Management) |
| Number of Seats | 01 |

| Job Type | Contract (3 years, extendable on satisfactory performance) |
| Quota | Open merit |
| Place of Posting | GEPCO jurisdiction (as per company requirement) |

All three positions carry a single seat each and sit within the AMI project structure. The Database Administration role suits candidates with experience running and optimising databases; the Network Support role fits those with networking infrastructure experience; and the Meter Data Management role is ideal for professionals experienced in handling large metering or telemetry datasets.
Eligibility Criteria
Educational Qualification
All three posts share one qualification standard in the advertisement: a four-year Bachelor’s degree or a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or Software Engineering from a university recognised by the Higher Education Commission (HEC). Three-year or simple Bachelor’s degrees do not meet the requirement.
Important conditions attached to the qualification rule:
- If your result card shows a CGPA, you must obtain a transcript with marks in percentage from your university before applying.
- Candidates awaiting final results cannot apply. Your final degree, transcript, and domicile must already have been issued on or before the closing date.
- Computer knowledge including MS Office, Excel, Windows, the internet, and email is listed as an added advantage.
- Degrees obtained from abroad must be recognised by HEC, and attestation formalities should be completed well before the deadline.
Experience Required
A minimum of two years of relevant experience in the respective field is mandatory for each post. Pick the post that matches your work history: database professionals should target the Database Administration post, network administrators the Network Support post, and those with metering or data operations experience the Meter Data Management post. Experience must be verifiable — you will present experience certificates at the interview stage.
Age Limit
The prescribed age range is 21 to 33 years, and this already includes five years of general relaxation. No further relaxation is admissible except three additional years for scheduled caste and Buddhist candidates.
Serving employees of the government, WAPDA, or any electricity distribution company may apply up to 43 years of age, provided they have completed two years of continuous service on the closing date (23 October 2026). Serving government employees must apply through the proper channel and produce a no objection certificate at the interview showing their date of appointment and whether they are regular or on contract.
Gender
The advertisement invites applications on open merit from both male and female candidates. There is no post-wise gender restriction in the official advertisement.
Salary and Benefits
These are contract appointments for an initial period of three years, extendable if performance is satisfactory. The advertisement states a “lump sum pay package” but does not publish any salary figure. Candidates should treat the compensation as negotiable and confirm it directly with GEPCO’s human resources office at 055-9200513 before applying.
One point must be read carefully: the advertisement states plainly that contract staff will not be regularised or made permanent at any stage. If you are specifically looking for a regular government post with a pension track, this is not that opportunity. The trade-off is entry into a large public sector utility with project-based responsibilities that carry significant weight on a CV.
How to Apply
Applications are submitted online only through the National Testing Service (NTS) website. No application will be accepted by hand at GEPCO or at NTS. The NTS portal closes at 11:59:59 pm on 23 October 2026. Follow these steps:
- Open the Career Opportunities page on the GEPCO website and click “Click to Apply Through M/S NTS”, which takes you to the NTS application portal at nts.org.pk.
- Create your NTS account using your CNIC, email address, and mobile number. Use a mobile number that is not ported, because the roll number slip is delivered by SMS and email.
- Select the Assistant Manager post that matches your qualification and experience, and fill the form carefully with your education and employment details.
- Pay the test fee of Rs 270 through any 1Link or 1Bill participating bank, ATM, internet or mobile banking, Easypaisa, JazzCash, or a TCS Express counter.
- Submit the form before the portal closes on 23 October 2026 and keep your fee receipt safe.
Note that a separate application form is required for each post — if you wish to be considered for two of the three positions, you must fill and submit two separate forms and pay the fee for each.
Required Documents Checklist
You do not send documents with the online application. Bring the following to the interview if you are shortlisted:
- All original academic degrees, transcripts, and result cards
- HEC equivalence certificate (for foreign degrees, where applicable)
- CNIC (original and copy)
- Domicile certificate
- Experience certificates for the claimed two years of relevant experience
- One set of attested photocopies of all documents
- Fee payment receipt
- No objection certificate (for serving government employees)
- Recent passport-size photographs
Selection Procedure
Selection is a two-stage process. First, NTS conducts the written test; only candidates who pass the test are shortlisted. Then, only shortlisted candidates falling within merit are called for the interview. NTS uploads the roll number slip at least one week before the test, carrying the test centre, time, and date. Test dates, provisional lists, and results will be published on the NTS website.
The advertisement lays down some hard rules: incomplete applications, wrong information, or late applications are not entertained. Hiding or misstating facts can lead to a ban from all future GEPCO recruitment tests. Dismissed employees and persons with a criminal record are not eligible, and police and agency clearance is mandatory. No travel allowance is paid for the test or interview, and mobile phones are not allowed inside the test centre. GEPCO reserves the right to cancel the process or change the number of posts at any stage without assigning a reason.

Why Consider a Career at GEPCO
Power distribution companies are among the most stable employers in Pakistan’s public sector, and GEPCO serves a dense, industrial consumer base of over 5.1 million. For an IT professional, the AMI program is the interesting part: smart metering, meter data management, and the networks that carry them are exactly the technologies shaping modern utilities worldwide. Two years on this project — even on contract — gives you hands-on experience with large-scale infrastructure data systems that private employers value highly.
Unlike many government advertisements restricted to one province, this one is open to candidates from all over Pakistan. The fee is also modest: Rs 270 after GEPCO’s own contribution, with no fee at all for disabled candidates. For readers tracking multiple openings this month, the Punjab Public Service Commission is also running its Advertisement No. 11/2026 with 299 vacancies closing 26 October 2026, and the Sindh Public Service Commission’s Advertisement No. 05/2026 includes Deputy Director and Assistant Director IT posts — both are open-merit, test-based recruitments in the same October window.

Final Word
GEPCO Jobs 2026 is a focused, time-bound opportunity: just three seats, but in a specialist domain — smart metering infrastructure — where experienced IT professionals are genuinely scarce. The application process is fully online through NTS, the fee is low, and the whole country can apply. The catch is the contract-only nature of the posts and the hard deadline of 23 October 2026. If your degree and two years of experience line up with one of the three roles, apply early rather than waiting for the last day, when portal traffic is always heaviest.
