Lead a Landmark Educational Initiative: Build the Future with Daanish Schools
The Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training is offering a career-defining opportunity for seasoned professionals to spearhead a project of immense national importance. The establishment of Daanish Schools in Azad Jammu & Kashmir is a flagship initiative under the Public Sector Development Program (PSDP), designed to provide world-class education to the most talented and underprivileged students. This is more than a construction project; it is a mission to build centers of excellence that will serve as engines of social mobility and regional development. The role of the Deputy Project Director is central to turning this vision into a tangible reality.
As the Deputy Project Director, you will be the on-ground leader responsible for the complete project lifecycle management of a Daanish School in your assigned district—be it the scenic valleys of Neelum, the strategic location of Bhimber, or the heartland of Herighel-Bagh. This senior role demands a powerful blend of civil engineering expertise and sophisticated project management acumen. You will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the school’s establishment, from initial site development and architectural compliance to ensuring the highest standards of construction quality. Your daily tasks will involve rigorous contractor management, budget oversight, timeline adherence, and proactive risk mitigation to ensure the project is delivered efficiently and effectively.
This position requires more than technical skill; it demands leadership and a deep commitment to social upliftment. You will be the primary point of contact for a diverse range of stakeholders, including local government authorities, community leaders, contractors, and the central Project Management Unit. Your ability to foster collaboration and navigate complexities will be crucial to the project’s success. This is a unique chance for a senior civil engineer or project manager to leave a lasting legacy. You will not just be building a school; you will be laying the foundation for a brighter future for countless children, contributing directly to the socio-economic transformation of Azad Jammu & Kashmir, and playing a key part in a nationally significant educational reform.
