Pakistan Railways Locomotive Factory Risalpur Jobs 2026 - 7 Posts Winder and Welder, Apply via Postal Order
Pakistan Railways Locomotive Factory Risalpur has announced 7 vacancies for Winder and Welder positions at Scale 06 in the Mechanical Loco Department. This is a C-Class Apprentice contract appointment for two years under the Government of Pakistan. And if you are from KPK, have Matric with a trade certificate, and want a foot inside one of Pakistan Railways' most important mechanical facilities - this is worth reading carefully.
What makes this post genuinely interesting is the quota breakdown. Only 60% of the 7 seats are open by merit. Sons of Railway employees have 20%, ex-servicemen have 10%, and minorities and orphans share the remaining 10%. With just 7 total seats, each quota category has very few actual positions - meaning competition within your specific category is genuinely low. A Welder or Winder with proper trade certification from KPK applying under the Railways son or ex-serviceman quota is looking at a very small competing pool. Read your category carefully before applying.

Skill Test Preparation Tips
The skill test is the most important stage for both posts. Winder and Welder are trade-specific roles - the selection committee will assess your actual hands-on competency, not just your paper certificate. For Welders, practice your arc welding, MIG welding, and basic metal joining techniques. For Winders, brush up on coil winding, electrical winding of motors and transformers, and related mechanical knowledge. Show up knowing your trade, not just carrying a certificate for it.
Written test preparation. The written test for trade posts at Railway establishments typically covers general knowledge, basic mathematics, Pakistan Studies, and trade-related technical questions. It is not highly specialised, but candidates who revise basic trade theory alongside general subjects perform significantly better.
Medical examination by the Divisional Medical Officer, PR Peshawar. This is a Railway medical - it checks eyesight, physical fitness, blood pressure, and general health. Make sure you are in good health before applying. Do not ignore a known medical condition and hope it does not come up - it will, and the appointment will be cancelled post-selection, which is the worst possible outcome.
Documents in order before you go. For a Railway Locomotive Factory interview, being organised and disciplined in how you present your documents makes an impression. Bring everything in a proper file folder - originals at the front, attested copies behind each. This is a federal government mechanical facility - they value discipline and professionalism from the very first interaction.
