The Environment Protection & Climate Change Department, Government of Punjab, is hiring across ten different roles for the Lahore Air Improvement Framework (LAIF) — a project-based initiative under the Strategic Planning & Implementation Unit. The advertisement was published around August 21, 2026, with applications open through the Punjab Job Portal.
What LAIF Actually Is
LAIF sits under Punjab’s ADP (Annual Development Programme) schemes, specifically focused on improving Lahore’s air quality. Based on the mix of positions being hired — software engineers, data analysts, research officers, MIS officers, and field supervisors spread across multiple cities — this looks less like a typical desk-bound environment department role and more like a data-driven monitoring and research operation. If you’re picturing a purely policy or paperwork-based environmental job, this project’s staffing suggests otherwise.
Positions
| Post | Number of Posts |
|---|---|
| VESS Project Manager | 1 |
| Research Analyst | 1 |
| Software Engineer | 1 |
| Research Officer | 3 |
| MIS Officer | 2 |
| Team Lead (HySem) | 1 |
| Technical Coordinator | 1 |
| Field Supervisor (4 cities) | 4 |
| Data Analyst / QA Officer | 1 |
| Admin / Accounts Assistant | 1 |
What Wasn’t Included — Read This Before You Apply
Unlike most job ads we cover, this notice doesn’t list specific qualification or experience requirements for any of the ten posts — just the position titles and vacancy counts. Rather than guessing at what each role needs, the reliable move is to check the detailed Terms of Reference on the Punjab Job Portal before applying, since a Software Engineer post and an Admin/Accounts Assistant post will obviously call for very different backgrounds even though the print ad treats them identically in format.
Field Supervisor Isn’t a Lahore-Only Role
Worth noting if you’re specifically looking for Lahore-based work: the four Field Supervisor posts are spread across four different cities, not concentrated in Lahore. If you’re applying for this role, confirm which city you’d actually be posted to before assuming it’s local.
These Are Project Positions, Not Permanent Government Posts
All ten roles are temporary, running until the project’s completion — targeted for June 2029. That’s a multi-year runway, but it’s still fundamentally different from a permanent BPS government appointment, and worth factoring in if you’re comparing this against other options.
