About PESCO — Peshawar Electric Supply Company
PESCO (Peshawar Electric Supply Company) is a public sector utility company operating under the Ministry of Energy (Power Division). It is responsible for the distribution and supply of electricity across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the tribal districts (former FATA), and parts of Gilgit-Baltistan — making it one of the most strategically important power utilities in Pakistan.
PESCO supplies electricity to millions of consumers across an area that includes major cities like Peshawar, Mardan, Abbottabad, Swat, Kohat, D.I. Khan, and hundreds of rural and semi-urban areas across KPK. Managing electricity distribution at this scale requires significant IT infrastructure — smart metering systems, ERP platforms, data management systems, network infrastructure, and cybersecurity — which is exactly why this entire vacancy announcement is focused on IT management roles.
Working at PESCO places you at the intersection of Pakistan’s energy sector and its digital transformation agenda. As the government pushes for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), smart grids, and digitized utility management across Pakistan, PESCO’s IT division is expanding rapidly — and these 13 vacancies are a direct result of that expansion.

What Is the Salary for These PESCO Posts?
PESCO has advertised these positions on a lump sum pay basis — meaning a fixed all-inclusive monthly amount rather than the BPS structure with separate allowances. The advertisement does not disclose exact salary figures.
Based on comparable utility company (LESCO, IESCO, GEPCO) contract-based IT management positions in Pakistan, realistic estimates are:
| Post | Approximate Lump Sum Monthly |
|---|---|
| Deputy Manager System / IT Operations | Rs. 150,000 – 220,000 |
| Assistant Manager (All IT Posts) | Rs. 90,000 – 140,000 |
These are market estimates based on equivalent positions at peer utilities. PESCO’s actual offer will be confirmed at the offer stage. The key point: these are contract positions with no regularization — the lump sum package should be negotiated with that in mind.
Why These PESCO IT Roles Are Worth Pursuing
Here is the honest perspective on why this announcement stands out.
Smart metering and AMI are genuinely new in KPK. The Assistant Manager (Meter Data Collector), (Meter Data Management), and (Database Admin / ERP / IBS / AMI) roles are directly related to Pakistan’s Advanced Metering Infrastructure rollout — a multibillion-rupee initiative to replace conventional meters with smart meters across the country. Getting experience at the ground level of this rollout is genuinely valuable for your career in the utility sector.
ERP experience at a utility company. Pakistan’s power distribution companies are undergoing massive ERP implementations (SAP, Oracle-based systems). An ERP Application Development or Database Admin role at PESCO puts you inside one of these implementations — that experience is sought after by consultancies, other utilities, and development sector organizations across Pakistan and internationally.
KPK utility experience is rare. Most IT professionals in Pakistan’s power sector work in Punjab-based utilities (LESCO, GEPCO, MEPCO). PESCO operates in KPK — a different regulatory and operational environment. That distinctive background can be a differentiator for your next move.
The ETEA process is transparent. Unlike some government recruitment processes in Pakistan, ETEA-based testing is standardized, merit-driven, and relatively free from favoritism. Your test score drives shortlisting.
