Pakistan Railways Quetta Division Apprentice Jobs 2026 – Diesel Wireman, Fitter and Mechanic BPS-06
Pakistan Railways Divisional Office Quetta has opened applications for C-Class Apprentices across three technical positions - Diesel Wireman/Electrician, Diesel Fitter/Mechanic, and Fitter C&W - all at BPS-06. This is a two-year contract-based apprenticeship under one of Pakistan's largest federal employers, and successful candidates will undergo prescribed training at the Pakistan Railway Academy or designated training centers. If you hold a Balochistan domicile from within Quetta Division districts, have Matric 2nd division, and a one-year diploma in a relevant trade from a recognized technical institute, you are eligible to apply. The last date is 05 June 2026, and a Rs. 1000 Postal Order is mandatory with every application - no application will be entertained without it.
Three technical trade seats may sound small, but Pakistan Railways apprenticeships carry real weight. You get structured training, a railway work record, and a foot inside one of Pakistan's oldest federal institutions. Candidates who perform well during the two-year contract can be considered for extension based on satisfactory performance and departmental requirements. This is not a permanent job from day one - but it is a strong starting point for a technical career in the public sector.
