Pakistan Railways Quetta Division Invites Apprentice Applications for 2026
Pakistan Railways, through its Divisional Office in Quetta, has officially advertised C-Class apprentice positions for 2026 under three technical trades within the Mechanical Loco and Carriage and Wagon (C&W) departments. This recruitment is specifically targeted at young, technically qualified candidates who hold a valid Balochistan domicile and are ready to begin a structured two-year apprenticeship within one of Pakistan’s oldest and most important national institutions.
Pakistan Railways is the backbone of long-distance land transport in the country, and its Quetta Division serves a strategically critical region connecting Balochistan with the broader national rail network. Keeping locomotives operational, maintaining carriages and wagons in roadworthy condition, and ensuring the electrical and mechanical systems of the fleet function without failure — these are the responsibilities that the apprentices recruited through this advertisement will begin learning from day one. It is hands-on, technically demanding work that builds the kind of practical engineering skill that lasts an entire career.
The three trades available are Diesel Wireman/Electrician, Diesel Fitter/Mechanic, and Fitter C&W — all under BPS-06 pay scale. Candidates must hold a Matric certificate with a minimum second division and a one-year technical diploma in a relevant trade from a recognized institute. The appointment is on contract for two years, extendable based on performance and departmental need. A non-refundable application fee of Rs. 1,000 in the form of a postal order must be attached with the application. The last date for submission by post, courier, or hand delivery is 05 June 2026.
