Walk-in interviews for Pakistan’s nuclear power sector are not advertised often — and when they are, they attract immediate attention from technical professionals across the country. A public sector organization, widely identified as Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), is conducting walk-in interviews for Shutdown Activity positions on a contingent basis at three locations — KANUPP Colony Karachi, Abaseen Club Chashma Mianwali, and Nishtar Medical College and Hospital Multan. These are fixed-wage positions for 80 to 110 days, covering eleven technical, administrative, and support roles from Senior Technician through to Cook and Waiter.
What makes PAEC Walk-In Interview 2026 stand out from a typical contingent hiring exercise is the technical specialization required. Shutdown turnaround maintenance of nuclear, chemical, petrochemical, and power plants demands professionals who can work safely and competently within the most regulated industrial environments in Pakistan. The positions range from BPS-equivalent technical grades drawing PKR 82,268 per month through to support staff at PKR 48,639 — all on fixed daily wages for the duration of the shutdown activity.
The walk-in schedule is position-specific and city-specific. Different posts have different interview dates at each location — candidates must appear on the exact date specified for their post and city. The full schedule is detailed in the vacancy table below.
About the Organization
The advertisement is issued by a Public Sector Organization — widely associated with PAEC given the interview locations at KANUPP Colony, Hawksbay Road, Karachi; Abaseen Club, Chashma Mianwali (location of Chashma Nuclear Power Generation Station); and Nishtar Medical College and Hospital, Multan (used as a coordination point for PAEC’s Punjab operations). PAEC operates Pakistan’s nuclear power plants and regularly hires contingent technical staff for planned shutdown maintenance activities — a standard industry practice in nuclear and petrochemical plant operations.
The Sr. Admin Officer (RFO) at PO Box No. 71, Karachi, is the issuing authority for this advertisement — a point of contact consistent with PAEC’s administrative structure in Karachi.

Why PAEC Walk-In Interview 2026 Matters
Working within Pakistan’s nuclear power infrastructure — even on a contingent shutdown activity basis — carries professional weight that most industrial assignments simply do not. PAEC’s shutdown maintenance activities at facilities like KANUPP and Chashma are conducted under international nuclear safety standards, IAEA protocols, and NEPRA regulatory oversight. Technical professionals who gain hands-on shutdown maintenance experience within this environment build credentials that are recognized across Pakistan’s power sector and internationally.
For Diploma-level technicians in electrical, mechanical, chemical, and civil disciplines looking for structured, well-paying short-term technical work — the fixed wages of PKR 64,277 to PKR 82,268 per month for 80 to 110 days are competitive by any standard in Pakistan’s technical labor market. The positions also offer genuine exposure to power plant maintenance practices that are difficult to access outside PAEC’s specialized environment.
