DHA City Karachi is hiring a single, senior-level Chief Coordinator position for its energy subsidiary, DESCO – DHA Energy Supply Company (Pvt) Ltd. This is a genuinely different kind of ad from most we cover — it’s not a mass-hiring notice with multiple posts and vacancy counts, but a single, highly specific executive search for someone to run day-to-day power distribution operations at a private utility company.
The Position
Chief Coordinator
- Qualification: Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical/Electronics/Mechatronics/Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline from an HEC-recognized institution; a Master’s Degree in Engineering, Business Administration, Energy Management, or a related field will be an added advantage
- Experience: Minimum 10-15 years of relevant experience in the power/utility sector, including at least 6-8 years specifically in a senior management or executive leadership role
- Required expertise: Demonstrated experience in power distribution operations, network planning, maintenance, project management, stakeholder coordination, and power business regulatory affairs
- Skills: Strong leadership, communication, and strategic management skills
- Preference: Given to applicants who have served as a member of an accounting board, with more than 5 years of regulatory and utilities experience
This Role Sits at the Intersection of Engineering and Regulatory Affairs — Not Just Operations
Reading through the qualification requirements, this isn’t purely a technical operations role. The ad explicitly wants someone comfortable with power business regulatory affairs and gives preference to candidates with accounting board membership and regulatory/utilities experience. Combined with the Key Responsibilities list — which includes preparing regulatory submissions, compliance reporting, and responses to public-sector inquiries — this position sits somewhere between a technical operations head and a regulatory liaison. If your background is purely engineering with no exposure to utility regulation or governance boards, it’s worth honestly weighing whether you meet the fuller picture the ad is painting, beyond just the years-of-experience number.
The Responsibilities List Is Unusually Long and Detailed for a Single Post
Most job ads summarize duties in a line or two. This one lists 14 distinct responsibility areas — from coordinating daily electricity distribution and monitoring network reliability, to leading emergency response during power outages and preparing reports for the Board of Directors. Reading through this list gives a genuinely clear picture of what the role actually involves day-to-day: it’s an operational command position with real accountability across engineering, maintenance, customer service, and compliance functions simultaneously. If you’re evaluating whether this role fits your career trajectory, this responsibilities section is worth reading in full rather than skimming, since it reveals the breadth of the job far more than the qualification table alone.
A Direct Warning About Fraudulent Contact Attempts
The ad includes an unusual caution: “Candidates are cautioned not to entertain requests for personal information from sources other than telephone number 021-36470008 (Extn: 1031).” This kind of explicit fraud warning isn’t something we see often in job ads on this site, and it’s worth taking seriously — if anyone contacts you claiming to represent this recruitment through a different number or channel asking for personal information, treat it as suspicious and verify directly through the number listed here.

Given how specific this role’s blend of technical and regulatory experience is, it’s worth checking Karachi Jobs regularly for similar senior utility and energy-sector positions, since roles combining engineering leadership with regulatory affairs experience like this one don’t come up frequently.
