PLRA Opens Province-Wide Field Survey Jobs
The Punjab Land Records Authority has announced new contract-based jobs for Assistant Director Field Survey Operations across the province. The authority is hiring 41 officers, with one position available in each district of Punjab.
The recruitment is linked to field survey operations, a technical area that supports land records, boundary verification, cadastral work and field-level data accuracy. For applicants with GIS or geomatics backgrounds, the posts offer a higher-than-usual public-sector monthly package and a three-year initial appointment period.
| Hiring Signal: The district-wise structure shows PLRA is looking for technical field capacity across Punjab, not only at head-office level. |
Salary Package and Contract Terms
Selected candidates will receive a monthly salary of Rs 149500, along with a technical expert incentive allowance of Rs 100000. This takes the total monthly package to Rs 249500 for the advertised Assistant Director role.
The appointments will initially be made for three years and may be extended on the basis of satisfactory performance. The contract nature of the jobs means candidates should review service terms, performance conditions and extension rules before applying.
| Component | Amount | Frequency | Notes |
| Monthly salary | Rs 149500 | Monthly | Base package |
| Technical incentive | Rs 100000 | Monthly | Expert allowance |
| Total package | Rs 249500 | Monthly | Salary plus allowance |
| Initial tenure | 3 years | Contract | Extendable on performance |
Eligibility Requirements for Applicants
Applicants must have at least 16 years of education in Geomatics Engineering, Geographic Information Systems or a related field from a recognised university. The post is therefore aimed at candidates with technical mapping, survey and spatial-data expertise.
Candidates must also have at least five years of relevant post-qualification experience. Preference will be given to applicants with experience in cadastral surveys, engineering surveys, boundary demarcation or field operations management. The advertised age limit is 25 to 40 years.
Because the role is district-based, applicants should clearly mention field assignments, survey tools, mapping software, team supervision and land-records experience in their application. Strong documentation will matter because only shortlisted candidates will move to the next stage.
| Requirement | Advertised Condition | Candidate Check |
| Education | 16 years in GIS, geomatics or related field | Verify degree relevance |
| Experience | Five years after qualification | Attach proof |
