Job description

The Electrician (BPS-04) at the Computer Operator & Office Boy establishment is responsible for the complete electrical health of the office premises, ensuring uninterrupted power supply to computer labs, server rooms, administrative offices, and common areas. The role reports to the Administrative Officer or Building Supervisor and serves as the sole in-house technical authority for all low-voltage and medium-voltage installations.

Daily workflow begins with a visual inspection of main distribution panels, sub-mains, and generator changeover switches, followed by logging voltage, current, and frequency readings in the maintenance register. The electrician attends breakdown calls for faulty lighting, socket outlets, AC units, and UPS batteries, using insulated hand tools, multimeter, clamp meter, and megger. Monthly tasks include tightening terminations, cleaning DB interiors, testing earth resistance, and servicing the standby generator (oil, filters, battery). All work follows the Pakistan Electricity Rules 1937, WAPDA/KE connection agreements, and internal safety SOPs. Performance is measured by mean-time-to-repair, zero preventable outages, and compliance with annual electrical safety audit. Career progression leads to Senior Electrician (BPS-06) and Electrical Supervisor (BPS-11) after departmental trade tests and prescribed service length.

Selection is conducted exclusively through a practical trade test and oral viva voce; no written examination is administered. Candidates must demonstrate live wiring, fault finding, and equipment servicing on a simulated office distribution board, followed by a structured interview assessing technical knowledge, safety awareness, and official conduct.

Key duties and responsibilities:

• Inspect and record main panel parameters (voltage, current, power factor) at shift start and log in maintenance register
• Diagnose and rectify faults in lighting circuits, power sockets, distribution boards, and UPS systems using approved test instruments
• Execute preventive maintenance schedule: tighten terminations, clean DBs, test earth continuity, verify breaker operation monthly
• Operate and service standby diesel generator: check fuel, oil, coolant, battery; perform weekly no-load and monthly load-test runs
• Install new points for computers, printers, network racks, and AC units following single-line diagrams and cable-sizing standards
• Maintain tool inventory, insulation resistance tester calibration, and personal protective equipment; submit monthly material requisition
