Job description

The Inventory Logistics Officer (BS-17) in Social Welfare & Bait ul Maal serves as the custodian of all movable assets, relief commodities, Zakat/Ushr kind items, and institutional stores. The role ensures timely procurement, scientific warehousing, and transparent distribution of goods — ranging from wheelchairs and sewing machines to ration packs and disaster relief tents — across district offices, Dar-ul-Amans, and vocational centers. The officer bridges procurement planning with field demand to prevent stockouts during emergencies and overstocking that ties up public funds.

Daily workflows involve operating the Departmental Stock Management Information System (SMIS), reconciling physical counts with bin cards and General Ledger entries, and processing indent requests from field formations. The officer maintains separate registers for capital assets (Form 10), consumable stores (Form 11), and Zakat-in-kind items, conducts monthly surprise inspections of sub-stores, and coordinates with the Audit & Accounts wing for annual verification. Career progression follows the Management Cadre track toward Deputy Director (Logistics) and Director (Admin & Finance) upon passing departmental promotion examinations.

Selection follows the Category A Written Screening Examination cadre: a 100-mark MCQ paper covering Supply Chain Management, PPRA Rules, GFR (Stores), Logistics Mathematics, and General Administration. Candidates securing 50% qualifying marks are shortlisted three times the advertised posts for document verification. The Departmental Selection Committee then conducts a 30-mark Technical Oral Viva Voce assessing practical knowledge of stock-taking, condemnation boards, and crisis logistics. Final merit combines written score (70% weightage) and viva (30% weightage).

Key duties and responsibilities:

• Prepare annual procurement plans aligned with budget allocations and field demand forecasts for welfare commodities
• Execute tendering processes under PPRA Rules 2004 including bid evaluation, contract award, and performance guarantee management
• Supervise receipt, inspection, and quality certification of incoming stores against purchase orders and technical specifications
• Maintain perpetual inventory system with real-time SMIS updates, bin card reconciliation, and monthly physical verification reports
• Coordinate emergency logistics for disaster relief operations including transportation, cold-chain management, and last-mile distribution tracking
• Constitute and serve as member secretary for condemnation boards to dispose of unserviceable assets through public auction per GFR-19 to 22
