Defence Housing Authority City, Karachi (DHAC) has announced career opportunities for retired Armed Forces personnel across three positions: Security Supervisor, Security Guard, and Fireman, for its Security & Vigilance Directorate. The advertisement was published in daily Nawaiwaqt on 24 September 2026.
This is a specialized recruitment, not a general public hiring round. The ad is explicit that applications are invited only from retired Armed Forces persons who have “exemplary” character and hold medical Category AYE. Beyond that baseline eligibility, each of the three posts also names the specific service background it wants — this isn’t interchangeable across positions, so candidates should read their own post’s experience column carefully before applying.
Positions and Eligibility
Security Supervisor
- Qualification: Matric or above
- Age: Up to 50 years
- Experience: Ex-Armed Forces JCO (Army, PN, PAF)
Security Guard
- Qualification: Matric or above
- Age: 40–45 years
- Experience: Ex-Armed Forces NCO/Soldiers (Army, PN, PAF), Ex-Civil Armed Forces, or Ex-ASF/ANF Soldiers
Fireman
- Qualification: Matric or above
- Age: 40–45 years
- Experience: Ex-Armed Forces Soldiers (Army, PN, PAF) and civilian candidates are both eligible; a Fire Fighting Course qualification is preferred, ideally from NBCD School–PNS Karsaz, Unit Fire Safety Course–COD Kci, or Civil Defence Training School Kci; 5 years’ experience with a firefighting squad or fire tender is required
Worth noting on the Fireman post specifically: unlike the other two, it’s open to civilian candidates as well as ex-servicemen — the only post of the three that isn’t restricted purely to a military background, provided the fire-fighting course and experience requirements are met.
Terms Worth Reading Before You Apply
Only shortlisted candidates who meet the stated criteria will be called for test or interview. Applications should be sent along with a detailed CV, clearly mentioning the subject post applied for, and must reach DHAC by 10 October 2026.
Latest photographs and photocopies of all credentials — CNIC, Discharge Book, Degrees/Transcripts, Certificates, Experience letters, and Domicile/PRC — should be sent to the address given below, by courier only. Applications received after the due date will not be entertained.
One caution worth repeating directly from the ad: candidates are warned not to entertain requests for personal information from any source other than the official telephone number 021-36470008 (Ext: 1031). This is a fraud-prevention note the employer itself has included, and is worth taking seriously — verify any contact claiming to represent this recruitment against that number before sharing documents or personal details.
