Eligibility by Post
Graduate Engineer Civil (4 seats, Rs. 115,832/month): Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from a reputable institution with 1.5 years of relevant experience. Degree must be registered with Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC). Preference will go to candidates with knowledge of Primavera, Pert Master, Revit, and similar engineering software. This is the highest-paying and most in-demand post in this advertisement with 4 seats. For other PEC-grade civil engineering government roles, we covered WAPDA Diamer Basha Jobs 2026, which had similar engineering requirements.
Graduate Architect / Architecture Engineer (2 seats, Rs. 115,832/month): Architecture degree with 1.5 years of experience. Must be registered with Council of Architects and Town Planning (PCATP). Strong preference for candidates proficient in AutoCAD, SketchUp, 3ds Max, and Adobe Photoshop. WCLA's conservation work involves detailed architectural documentation and design - 2D/3D design skills are genuinely valued here, not just listed as a preference.
Sub-Engineer Civil (3 seats, Rs. 61,086/month): 3-year DAE Civil Technology diploma from a recognised Technical Institute or Punjab Technical Board with 3 years of relevant experience. Must know AutoCAD, site supervision, BOQ preparation, and project planning. If you hold a DAE Civil and have field experience, this is a solid entry into a reputable Punjab government authority. Similar DAE Civil opportunities we have covered include PPSC Sub Engineer Jobs.
Sub-Engineer Electrical (2 seats, Rs. 61,086/month): 3-year DAE Electrical Technology diploma with 3 years of experience. Same skill requirements as civil sub-engineer - AutoCAD, site supervision, BOQ, project planning. WCLA conservation projects involve electrical installations in heritage buildings, which is specialised work.
Junior Computer Operator (1 seat, Rs. 54,164/month): Intermediate (ICS) plus a diploma or certificate in Computer Science or related field, with 2 years of experience preferred. Must be proficient in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), data entry, and have a minimum typing speed of 40 wpm. One seat only.
Quantity Surveyor (2 seats, Rs. 61,086/month): 3-year DAE Civil Technology diploma with 3 years of relevant experience. Must know AutoCAD, MS Office, site supervision, BOQ, rate analysis, and project planning. Quantity surveying on conservation projects is specialised - candidates with experience in heritage or restoration projects will have a clear advantage.

Preferred qualifications include a diploma or degree in Photography, Videography, Film Production, Media Studies, or Visual Communication. Must have at least 1 year of practical working experience in the public or private sector.

Final Thoughts
WCLA is not a typical government employer - it works on some of Pakistan's most visible cultural heritage sites and conservation projects. If you are a civil engineer, architect, DAE diploma holder, or even a photographer with genuine skills, getting a year of hands-on project experience with WCLA carries real professional value. The salary packages are reasonable for contract work: Rs. 115,832 for engineers and Rs. 61,086 for sub-engineers and quantity surveyors. Apply through jobs.punjab.gov.pk before 8 June 2026.
