Final Tips for Applicants
If you’re applying as a Lineman, practice pole climbing and improve your upper-body strength now. For Junior Engineers, revise your DAE subjects—especially circuit analysis, transformers, and civil drawing.
Ensure all your certificates are attested by the relevant board or TEVTA. Unattested documents are the #1 reason for disqualification.
WAPDA values safety, precision, and dedication. Your application should reflect these core values.
Don’t wait—power Pakistan’s future with a WAPDA career! Apply before November 30, 2025.
