The Shrimp Aquaculture Project Management Unit is inviting applications for contract-based hiring under the Project Pay Scale (PPS) for the development project titled “Establishment of Shrimp Estate with Value Chain at 58 NB, Tehsil and District Sargodha (2025–2026 to 2027–2028)”.

These Shrimp Aquaculture Project jobs in Punjab are offered on a two (02) years contract, extendable up to the project gestation period, with competitive monthly salaries under PPS. The department’s operational office for document submission is located at 9-A Bahawalpur Road, Chauburji, Lahore (Punjab, Pakistan), while project activities relate to the shrimp estate/value chain initiative in District Sargodha. If you’re looking for Punjab Government project jobs, engineering jobs, laboratory and biotech jobs, or a stable public-sector career path with meaningful development impact, this opportunity is designed for skilled professionals ready to contribute to aquaculture growth, food systems, and rural economic development.
About the Project
Shrimp aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing segments of modern farming because it supports export value, food security, and job creation through a connected value chain—hatcheries, feed management, water quality monitoring, disease control, cold chain logistics, and market linkages. This project focuses on building a structured shrimp estate model where science, engineering, and quality systems work together to deliver reliable production and safer output.
That is why the roles advertised are not “routine posts.” They are built around real operational needs such as:
- Water quality and feed testing (Chemist)
- Pathogen detection and disease diagnostics (Microbiologist / Pathologist)
- Field research and reporting support (Research Assistant)
- Infrastructure and utilities support (Electrical/Civil/Mechanical Sub Engineers)
- Documentation and data accuracy (Documentation Assistant)
- Monitoring, mapping, and visual evidence (Drone Operator)
Professionals who understand compliance, lab discipline, reporting, and safe field practices will stand out—especially those who can work confidently in both office and project environments.
