The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) of the Sindh Secondary Education Improvement Project (SSEIP), under the School Education & Literacy Department, Government of Sindh, has invited applications for four contractual consultant positions. This project is ADB-assisted, financed under Loan No. 3845-PAK and Loan No. 4409-PAK (COL), and focuses on constructing and reconstructing schools across Sindh, mostly using Light Gauge Steel (LGS) structures.
What This Notice Actually Is
Unlike a standard vacancy ad, this is an Invitation for Submission of Expression of Interest (EOI), specifically under the Additional Financing component (SSEIP-AF). So the application process here follows ADB’s consultant selection procedures rather than a typical CV-and-interview format. If you’re used to submitting resumes through email or job portals, this one works differently — you’ll need to go through ADB’s own consultant management system instead.
Open Positions
CS34-AF Chief Quantity Surveyor
- Qualification: Bachelor’s or Diploma degree in Civil Engineering & Quantity Surveying
- Minimum General Experience: 15 years
- Minimum Specific Experience (relevant to assignment): 15 years
CS32-AF Civil Engineer
- Qualification: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from a recognized university/institute
- Minimum General Experience: 8 years
- Minimum Specific Experience (relevant to assignment): 8 years
CS33-AF Electrical/Mechanical Engineer

CS35-AF Quantity Surveyor

Notice the sharp experience gap between the Chief Quantity Surveyor role and the other three positions. The Chief role demands nearly double the experience of the others, which makes sense given the seniority implied by “Chief” in the title. If you’re comparing this against other ADB or donor-funded infrastructure project openings, check other listings under Government Jobs on the site.
Before You Apply
The notice strongly advises applicants to review the detailed Terms of Reference (TORs) before submitting anything. These are available at:
- ADB CMS: http://cms.adb.org
- SSEIP Portal: https://sseip.gos.pk/
Since the qualification table only gives a summary, the full TORs likely spell out specific responsibilities, deliverables, and additional criteria that could affect whether you’re a genuine fit for the role. Skipping this step and applying based on the summary alone risks submitting an EOI that doesn’t properly address what the selection committee is actually looking for.
Selection Process
The selection will follow ADB’s Individual Consultant Selection (ICS) procedure. This is a formal, internationally recognized process used across ADB-funded projects, distinct from typical government departmental hiring or private-sector interviews.
How to Apply
Submit your EOI online through the ADB Consultant Management System (CMS), using the prescribed CV template.
- Deadline: No later than 1 October 2026
- Address: Project Director, SSEIP, School Education & Literacy Department, 17/1 31st Street Saba Avenue, DHA Phase V Extension, Karachi, Sindh
- Email: sseipkhipk@gmail.com
Since this uses ADB’s CMS system rather than a simple email submission, register on the platform early and use the prescribed CV template exactly as specified — a generic resume format likely won’t meet the submission requirements.

Reference No.: PIU(SSEIP)/PD/4090/2026 | INF-KRY/4188/2026
Disclaimer: Based on the official advertisement published in Dawn, 22 September 2026. This is an EOI invitation under ADB’s consultant selection procedures, not a standard job application — confirm exact submission requirements and TORs via cms.adb.org or sseip.gos.pk before applying.
