Pakistan Railways Land Management Directorate Jobs 2026 – 18 Contract Posts at HQ Lahore
Pakistan Railways has opened 18 contract-based positions at its Directorate of Land Management Headquarters Office in Lahore, and this batch is different from the usual Railways recruitment you see. These are professional and managerial roles requiring degrees, post-qualification experience, and in some cases, 10 to 15 years of relevant career history. Posts include Manager Property and Land, Manager Legal, Manager GIS, Inspector Land Revenue, Inspector Anti-Encroachment, GIS Supervisor, Assistant Developer GIS, Contract Assistant, Legal Assistant, and more. If you have a background in civil engineering, law, GIS, urban planning, business administration, or land revenue management - and you fall between the age brackets of 22 to 62 years depending on the post - Pakistan Railways is offering competitive contract salaries starting from Rs. 34,850 and going up to Rs. 120,780 plus admissible allowances.
What makes this recruitment stand out is the age ceiling of 62 years across most posts - which is exceptionally high and signals that Railways wants experienced professionals with proven track records, not fresh graduates. The initial contract is for one year, extendable subject to satisfactory performance. Selection is 70% written test and 30% interview. Postal Orders worth Rs. 1,500 as processing fee are mandatory with every hard copy application, and the last date to apply through the Pakistan Railways Career Updates Tab is 10 June 2026. Government servants, including those already in Railways, must apply through the proper channel with departmental NOC.

Eligibility by Post
Manager Posts (1-7, BPS equivalent Rs. 78,130+): Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil Engineering, Law, Business Administration, GIS, Urban Planning, or MBA depending on the specific manager role. Minimum 5 years post-qualification experience required across all manager positions. Manager Land Revenue requires 15 years of service in a Provincial/Land Revenue Department - the most demanding post in this advertisement.
Assistant Manager Posts (8-10): Bachelor's in Civil Engineering, Business Administration, or Law with 3 years post-qualification experience. The Anti-Encroachment post specifically requires PEC registration. If you have worked in real estate, land management, or marketing for at least 3 years after your degree, the 7 seats each for Assistant Manager Commercial and Contract are worth targeting.
Land Inspector (4 seats): Three-year DAE Civil diploma from a Board of Technical Institutions with 8 years of relevant experience. This is a field role requiring practical civil/land work background. We have covered similar technical inspector roles in our PPSC Sub Engineer Jobs post - the DAE Civil qualification path is the same.
GIS Supervisor and Assistant Developer GIS (4 seats total): Bachelor's or Master's in GIS from a HEC-recognized university with 3 to 5 years of experience in mapping, cartography, geo-referencing, spatial analysis, and geo-database maintenance. Pure GIS specialists - if this is your background, these seats have a relatively small applicant pool.
Inspector Land Revenue (7 seats): BA/BSc retired Tehsildar, Naib Tehsildar, or Qanoonago with at least 10 years of service in the Provincial Revenue Department. Retired revenue department officials are the primary target here.
Inspector Anti-Encroachment (7 seats): BA/BSc Ex-Army officer to the rank of Subedar Major, or retired Assistant Director/Anti-Encroachment Cell from District Government. This post is designed specifically for retired Army and civil administration professionals. For currently serving Army personnel looking at civilian transition opportunities, also see Mujahid Regiment Jobs 2026.
Inspector Licensing, Contract Assistant, Legal Assistant (7 seats each): Bachelor's in Business Administration or Law with 3 years post-qualification experience in real estate, land, or contract/legal management. The Legal Assistant post requires an LLB degree specifically.
