A power company hiring its managers through a schoolteacher testing body sounds odd, but that is exactly how PESCO works. The Peshawar Electric Supply Company has routed its newest Assistant Manager intake through ETEA under Project Code 874, which means engineers and finance graduates will sit a competitive test before anyone reads their CVs. Four seats are open, and applications close on 10 November 2026.
Four seats is a small number, and that is the point. This is not a bulk hiring round. Two seats are for Assistant Manager Finance and one each for Transmission and Planning and Demand Forecasting, all on contract with lump-sum pay. Small intakes like this move fast and fill silently, so waiting until the last week is a bad idea.
Job Overview
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Organization | Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO), Ministry of Energy, Power Division |
| Location | Peshawar, posting anywhere under PESCO jurisdiction |
| Published Date | 15 October 2026 |
| Last Date | 10 November 2026 |
| Application Mode | Online through ETEA, Project Code 874 |

Vacant Positions
| Post Name | Posts | Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Assistant Manager (Finance) | 2 | CA Inter, CMA Inter, ACCA Member, M.Com, MBA Finance, MBA, 4-year B.Com (Hons) or BBA Finance (Hons) |
| Assistant Manager (Transmission and Planning) | 1 | BE Electrical or Electronic |
| Assistant Manager (Demand Forecasting) | 1 | BE Electrical or Electronic |
The finance seat casts the widest net in the ad. Everything from CA Inter to BBA Finance qualifies, which will make it the most crowded of the three. The demand forecasting seat is the opposite. It wants 3 years of total experience with 1 year in demand forecasting, a niche ask that shrinks the eligible pool sharply. All degrees must be HEC-recognized, the age band is 21 to 33 with relaxation already included, and hiring is on open quota.

Conclusion
Four officer seats at a power distribution company will not stay open long, and the ETEA test means preparation matters as much as the degree. The demand forecasting seat rewards a rare skill set, while the finance seat will draw the biggest crowd. If your profile fits, verify your CNIC this week and get the form in well before 10 November.
