Three contractual leadership vacancies

Punjab Ex-Servicemen Corporation, a Punjab Government Undertaking, has issued Recruitment Notice Reference No. 502(ii)/AD/PESCO -15 for three Deputy General Manager appointments. Each discipline has one vacancy. The IT and Project & Ventures positions are based at the Chandigarh Head Office, while the Security position covers Ferozepur, Muktsar, Fazilka and Faridkot.

Eligibility and role requirements

Punjab domicile, Punjabi knowledge, computer proficiency and medical fitness are common requirements. DGM (IT) accepts Ex-Servicemen and Non-Ex-Servicemen, although its role description also refers to experienced retired Defence Services officers.
