Punjab Forest Department Surveyor Jobs 2026 – Digital Enumeration Project | Applications Closed
Punjab Forest Department advertised 15 Surveyor posts (PPS-04) under the development scheme titled “Digital Enumeration of Linear Plantations in Punjab (2025-26)”. The advertised recruitment process was project-based and applications were required to reach the department by 08 June 2026.
That deadline has now passed. This page is retained as a source-checked historical recruitment record so readers can review the qualifications, salary, contract terms and application procedure stated in the original advertisement. It should not be treated as an active vacancy page.
Current status: The original application period ended on 08 June 2026. Do not submit an application on the basis of this archived notice. Candidates looking for newer opportunities should check the current Punjab Government recruitment portal.
Recruitment Status
The recruitment notice covered a specific project-based hiring cycle for Surveyors in the Punjab Forest Department. The original advertisement required completed applications to be received by the department up to 08 June 2026.
Because that date has passed, HFD Jobs Alert has converted this page from an active vacancy post into an archived recruitment guide. The previous active-application wording, countdown functionality and Apply Online button have therefore been removed.
This archive records what the advertisement stated during the recruitment period. It does not indicate that the same positions are currently open, that the deadline has been extended, or that the department is accepting late applications.

Vacancy Details Confirmed by the Advertisement
| Requirement | Source-Confirmed Detail |
|---|---|
| Post Title | Surveyor |
| PPS | 4 |
| Posts | 15 |
| Qualification Route 1 | HSSC (2nd Division) with a one-year Diploma in Surveying from a recognized institute |
| Qualification Route 2 | DAE (Civil) from a recognized institute |

| Age | 20–25 years before applicable general upper-age relaxation |
The earlier version of this page displayed a salary range of PKR 55,000–115,000. The source advertisement does not support that range for the Surveyor post. It specifies a monthly salary of PKR 55,000, so this archive now uses the exact advertised figure.
Eligibility and Academic Requirements
The recruitment advertisement invited eligible candidates having domicile of Punjab Province. For the Surveyor post, the qualification row provided two academic routes.
- HSSC (2nd Division) together with a one-year Diploma in Surveying from a recognized institute; or
- DAE (Civil) from a recognized institute.
The Surveyor row in the advertisement does not print a separate minimum number of years of experience. However, the general instructions state that the department may shortlist candidates on the basis of their qualifications and experience.
The advertised base age limit was 20 to 25 years. The advertisement also stated general upper-age relaxation of five years for male candidates and eight years for female candidates under the cited Government of Punjab policy.
Who Matched This Surveyor Post?
In simple terms, the advertisement provided two qualification pathways. A candidate did not need to hold both qualifications at the same time.
HSSC + Surveying Diploma Route
This route applied to a candidate who had HSSC in at least 2nd Division together with a one-year Diploma in Surveying from a recognized institute.
DAE Civil Route
A candidate holding DAE (Civil) from a recognized institute could meet the alternative qualification printed in the advertisement.
In addition to the academic requirement, applicants were required to have Punjab domicile and satisfy the advertised age conditions, including any applicable general age relaxation.
Advertisement Facts vs HFD Jobs Alert Guidance
Surveyor title, 15 posts, PPS-04, PKR 55,000 monthly salary, qualifications, Punjab domicile, age condition, project-based contract, application procedure, documents, deadline and general recruitment conditions are taken from the recruitment advertisement retained on this page.
Advice about using this page as a historical reference, checking newer vacancies on official government portals and comparing future recruitment notices with this archive is editorial guidance rather than a condition imposed by the recruiting department.
How Applications Were Originally Submitted
During the active recruitment period, candidates were instructed to complete the application through the Punjab Government jobs portal and also send the required application material to the Forest Department.
- Applicants first had to apply online through the Punjab Government recruitment portal.
- A copy of the online-submitted application form had to be prepared with the supporting documents listed in the advertisement.
- The application package had to be sent to Conservator of Forests, Lahore Circle, Forest Colony 108 Ravi Road, Lahore .
- The name of the post had to be clearly written on the envelope.
- Applications had to be received in the office up to 08 June 2026.
The procedure above is preserved only to document how this recruitment was conducted. It should not be used to send a new application now. Application instructions for any future Forest Department recruitment may be different.
Document Checklist From the Advertisement
The recruitment notice instructed applicants to send the online-submitted form together with supporting material. The advertisement specifically listed the following items:
This checklist reflects the archived advertisement. Candidates applying to a newer recruitment notice should follow the documents specified in that newer advertisement rather than assuming the same checklist still applies.
Other Recruitment Conditions Stated in the Advertisement
- Recruitment was stated to be purely on merit and in accordance with approved Government policy.
- The posts were project-based and were to be filled on contract for two years or until completion of the project, whichever occurred earlier.
- Incomplete applications and applications received after the due date were not to be entertained.
- Only shortlisted candidates were to be called for the test or interview.
- No TA/DA was admissible for appearing in the test or interview.
- Government employees were required to obtain NOC from their competent authority and apply through the proper channel according to the advertisement.
- Candidates called for interview were required to bring their original documents.
- The department stated that it could shortlist candidates on the basis of qualifications and experience.
- Selected candidates would have no claim for regular appointment in the department.
- The competent authority reserved the right to increase, decrease or cancel the recruitment process at any stage without assigning a reason.
What the Advertisement Tells Us About the Project
The recruitment was linked specifically to the development scheme titled “Digital Enumeration of Linear Plantations in Punjab (2025-26)” . The Surveyor positions were therefore advertised as project posts rather than regular permanent departmental appointments.
The advertisement itself does not provide a detailed technical description of the project's surveying methodology or day-to-day duties. For that reason, this archive does not assume specific responsibilities such as drone operation, GIS mapping, a fixed office-versus-field duty split or other technical tasks that are not expressly stated in the recruitment notice.
This distinction is important because the job title and development scheme name provide useful context, but they should not be expanded into unverified job responsibilities.

What Was Corrected During Review?
The previous version contained conflicting dates and an unsupported salary range. The source advertisement confirms that applications had to reach the department by 08 June 2026, not 08 May 2026.
It also confirms a monthly salary of PKR 55,000 for the Surveyor post rather than the previously displayed PKR 55,000–115,000 range.
Active-recruitment wording, the expired Apply Online button, unsupported job-duty assumptions, duplicate advertisement image and inaccurate active-job structured data have also been removed from this archive.

- It records the two qualification routes accepted for this specific recruitment cycle.
- It shows that the advertised salary for these Surveyor posts was PKR 55,000 per month.
- It documents that this recruitment required both an online submission and delivery of supporting material to the departmental office.

A future post with the same title may have a different PPS, salary, qualification, age limit, number of vacancies, contract period or application method. Always use the newest official recruitment notice when making an actual application.

HFD Jobs Alert is an independent informational website and is not the recruiting authority for the Punjab Forest Department. This page has been retained to provide a clear historical record of the recruitment advertisement and to help readers distinguish the original recruitment conditions from general candidate guidance.

Where the advertisement does not state a fact—such as detailed day-to-day Surveyor duties, exact work locations after selection or specific technical project methods—this archive avoids presenting assumptions as confirmed recruitment information.
For any future application, the newest advertisement and instructions published by the relevant Government of Punjab authority should take priority over this historical page.
