The Office of the Project Director-cum-Project Engineer has announced vacancies for the Establishment of Paediatric Cardiac Unit at NICVD Karachi. This ad appeared in the daily Kawish newspaper on 2 October 2026, under advertisement number PDPE/EPCU/NICVD/1097, dated 28 September 2026. NICVD, the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, runs this hiring round through the i Work for Sindh job portal, which is managed by the Sindh Information Department.
Positions on Offer
Assistant Engineer / Assistant Project Engineer: BPS-17, 1 post. The employer wants a relevant engineering background along with experience in a public-sector mega hospital or health-sector organization. Office Assistant / Computer Operator: BPS-12, 2 posts. The employer wants a bachelor’s degree, computer diploma, and typing proficiency, along with a few years of relevant office experience. Driver: BPS-05, 2 posts. The employer wants Matric education, a valid driving licence, and several years of driving experience. Dispatch Rider: BPS-04, 1 post. The employer wants Matric education and a valid motorcycle licence. Naib Qasid: BPS-02, 2 posts. The employer wants Matric or Middle-level education.
This Is a Project-Based Appointment
NICVD links these posts to the Paediatric Cardiac Unit project rather than to a permanent institute-wide role. The ad states the appointment runs until 30 June 2028, or until project completion, whichever comes first. That timeline matters for anyone comparing this opportunity to a permanent government post. Treat this as a fixed-term contract role tied to the life of the project, not a lifelong government position.
Why a Hospital Engineering Project Needs This Mix of Staff
A new paediatric cardiac unit needs more than doctors and nurses to get built and running. The Assistant Engineer post supports the construction and technical side of the project. The Office Assistant and Computer Operator posts keep documentation, scheduling, and correspondence moving. The Driver and Dispatch Rider posts support day-to-day logistics. The Naib Qasid posts cover general office support. This spread of roles reflects a project in its establishment phase, where administrative, technical, and support staff all come on board together before clinical operations fully launch.
Eligibility and Experience Expectations
The higher-tier post, Assistant Engineer, asks for an engineering background plus prior exposure to a large public-sector hospital or health-sector organization. That combination points toward candidates who already understand how a government health facility runs. The Office Assistant and Computer Operator post asks for a bachelor’s degree plus a computer diploma. Typing speed matters here, so brush up on it before you apply if it’s been a while. The Driver and Dispatch Rider posts ask for Matric education plus a valid licence matched to the vehicle type: a standard driving licence for the Driver post, and a motorcycle licence for the Dispatch Rider post. The Naib Qasid post keeps the bar at Matric or Middle, making it accessible to a broad pool of applicants.
