This will take you directly to the relevant job posting, where you can review the full description and click “Apply”.
Q: What is PPL’s mineral exploration program and which positions relate to it?
PPL has diversified into mineral exploration as part of its broader natural resources strategy, applying its subsurface technical expertise from oil and gas to identify and evaluate mineral deposits in Pakistan. Two positions in this recruitment cycle are dedicated to this program: Geophysicist / Geophysicist – Mineral Exploration (Req ID 650), which involves geophysical surveys for mineral targeting, and Geologist / Senior Geologist – Mineral Exploration (Req ID 649), which involves field geological mapping and geochemical sampling for mineral exploration targets.
Q: What is the difference between the three ESG Analyst positions at PPL?
PPL is hiring three distinct ESG specialists: the Senior Analyst ESG – Data Analytics & Digitalization (Req 647) focuses on building ESG data systems, dashboards, and digital reporting tools; the Senior Analyst ESG – Carbon Accounting & Financing (Req 646) focuses on GHG emissions inventories, carbon footprint assessments, and climate finance mechanisms; and the Senior Analyst ESG – Capacity Building & Stakeholder Engagement (Req 645) focuses on community relations, CSR programs, and ESG training across PPL’s operational areas. Together these roles reflect PPL’s growing investment in its sustainability function.
Q: What qualifications are needed for the Senior Core Analyst position at PPL?
The Senior Core Analyst position (Requisition ID 644) requires a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Geology, Petroleum Engineering, or Earth Sciences from an HEC-recognized university, along with relevant experience in core analysis or petroleum laboratory operations within the oil and gas E&P sector. Key skills include core sample analysis, petrophysical interpretation, laboratory testing procedures, and reservoir characterization. Full eligibility details are available on the PPL Careers Portal.
Q: Is PEC registration required for the Engineer (Civil) position at PPL?
Yes. The Engineer (Civil) position (Requisition ID 653) requires a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from a PEC-recognized HEC university along with valid Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) registration. This is a standard requirement for engineering positions at major industrial and energy sector employers in Pakistan, as PEC registration confirms that an engineer is professionally licensed to practice in the country.
People Also Ask
Q: What is the Sui gas field and why is it important to PPL?
The Sui gas field, located in Balochistan, is historically the largest natural gas field in Pakistan and has been operated by Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) for decades. Discovered in 1952, Sui has been a cornerstone of Pakistan’s domestic natural gas supply, feeding major industrial, power generation, and residential consumers across the country. While production from Sui has declined over time as the field matures, it remains an iconic and strategically important asset in PPL’s portfolio, and reservoir engineering and geological expertise applied to mature fields like Sui remains central to PPL’s technical operations.
Q: What is the GHG Protocol and why does it matter for the Carbon Accounting analyst role?
The GHG Protocol is the most widely used international accounting standard for measuring and managing greenhouse gas emissions, developed by the World Resources Institute and World Business Council for Sustainable Development. It categorizes emissions into Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy), and Scope 3 (all other indirect emissions across the value chain). For PPL’s Senior Analyst ESG – Carbon Accounting & Financing role, proficiency in applying the GHG Protocol is essential for building accurate, auditable emissions inventories that support PPL’s climate disclosures and decarbonization planning.
Q: What software skills are most valuable for Geology and Geophysics roles at PPL?
For Geology and Geophysics roles at PPL, proficiency in industry-standard subsurface software is highly valued — particularly Schlumberger’s Petrel for integrated geological/geophysical modeling, Kingdom (IHS Markit) for seismic interpretation, and GIS platforms such as ArcGIS for spatial data analysis in mineral exploration. Reservoir engineers benefit from proficiency in simulation software such as Eclipse or CMG. Familiarity with these tools, combined with strong geological/geophysical fundamentals, significantly strengthens a candidate’s profile for PPL’s technical positions.
Q: What is SPE-PRMS and why is it relevant to the Reservoir Engineer position?
SPE-PRMS (Petroleum Resources Management System) is the internationally recognized standard, developed by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, for classifying and reporting petroleum reserves and resources. For the Engineer (Reservoir)/Senior Engineer (Reservoir) position at PPL, familiarity with SPE-PRMS is essential for preparing reserves estimates that meet international standards, supporting PPL’s annual reserves reporting obligations as a publicly listed company and ensuring consistency with reserves audits conducted by independent reserves auditors.
Q: Are PPL’s technical positions based in Karachi or at field locations?
PPL’s head office is located in Karachi, and most technical staff including geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, and ESG analysts are typically based at the Karachi head office, where core technical teams, data centers, and laboratory facilities are located. However, several roles — particularly Mineral Exploration Geologists/Geophysicists, Civil Engineers, and ESG Capacity Building/Stakeholder Engagement analysts — require regular travel to and extended stays at field locations across Sindh, Balochistan, and other operating areas where PPL’s exploration, production, and mineral exploration activities take place.
