The Pakistan Mineral Development Corporation (PMDC) has announced PMDC Jobs 2026 with three vacancies this month — an ad that speaks to two very different audiences at once. On one side there is a Marketing/Export Promotion Officer post for PMDC’s salt business, aimed at business graduates with export and FMCG experience. On the other side there are two engineering posts — a Maintenance Lead and an Associate (Electrical) — for the corporation’s mining sites in Balochistan.
I have gone through all three vacancy announcements on PMDC’s website, and this article lays out each post exactly as advertised: qualifications, experience, age limits, posting locations and the 20 October 2026 deadline.

Vacancies Announced by PMDC
The official PMDC Jobs 2026 announcements list the following three positions:

- Maintenance Lead/Sr. Associate (01 post) — posting at PMDC Project/Mining Site, Balochistan
- Associate (Electrical) (01 post) — posting at PMDC Project/Mining Site, Balochistan
The corporation describes itself as responsible for the exploration, mining and marketing of various minerals — and that mandate is visible in this hiring: one post is about selling minerals — salt, specifically — and two are about keeping the mining operations running.

- Open-term contract at a market-based negotiable salary will be offered.
- The corporation reserves the right to fill or not to fill the advertised positions.

Also Open: PMDC Management Trainee Programme 2026
Worth knowing if you are a recent graduate: the same official careers page shows two Management Trainee posts — Sales & Marketing and Legal — under a one-year contractual programme with a monthly stipend of PKR 80,000. Eligibility requires 16 years of education, a minimum 3.0 CGPA, a maximum age of 28, and graduation in 2025–26. That window closes on 13 October 2026, a week before the three PMDC Jobs 2026 posts above.
Who Should Apply
The marketing post in PMDC Jobs 2026 fits business graduates working in FMCG, commodities or export trade who want a public-sector role with an international dimension — salt exports give it an outward-facing brief. If your CV shows sales territory work, distributor management or B2B marketing, this is the one to read closely.
The two engineering posts are for professionals comfortable with field work at mining or industrial sites. The Maintenance Lead role needs an engineering degree and at least three years of maintenance experience; the Associate (Electrical) role is open to B.Tech/diploma holders with two to three years of hands-on electrical work, with an age ceiling of 47. Both give preference to Balochistan-domiciled candidates — a meaningful advantage if that applies to you.
If you are mapping a longer career across federal and state-owned enterprises, our coverage of SIFC Jobs 2026 shows how project-based federal hiring works, and the Ministry of IT cyber security hiring gives another window into how federal bodies are staffing up this year.
