Quality Assurance Officer Jobs 2026 Donor Funded Project Quetta Balochistan

The panel will verify your MS Microbiology or BS Medical Lab Technologist degree from an HEC recognized university as the mandatory academic qualification. Bring your original degree, transcript, and mark sheets to the interview. If you hold an MS in Microbiology, your transcript should reflect coursework in microbial quality systems, diagnostic microbiology, and laboratory standards. If your qualification is a BS Medical Lab Technologist, your transcript should show laboratory sciences, haematology, microbiology, and clinical biochemistry modules. Foreign degree holders must bring their HEC equivalency certificate. Ensure your degree is from an institution recognized by HEC; degrees from non-recognized institutions will result in disqualification at the scrutiny stage regardless of your experience.

Minimum 5 years of experience specifically in Quality Assurance, Microscopy, and Rapid Diagnostic Testing (RDT) is a hard requirement. Your experience letters must clearly state your designation and describe the QA, Microscopy, and RDT functions you performed. Be prepared to discuss your QA role in detail: what quality assurance systems or protocols you managed, how you conducted internal and external quality control in a laboratory setting, and how you monitored test performance indicators. For Microscopy, describe the type of slides you examined (e.g., malaria blood films, TB sputum smears), the staining methods used (Giemsa, Ziehl-Neelsen), and the proficiency testing processes you participated in. For RDT, describe the test kits you worked with, how you validated results, and how you handled discordant results between RDT and microscopy findings.

Since this is a donor funded project in Balochistan, the QAO role is most likely linked to a disease control program such as a malaria control initiative, tuberculosis program, or similar public health intervention. Be prepared to discuss QA frameworks used in public health laboratory networks: WHO Laboratory Quality Standards, External Quality Assurance (EQA) schemes, panel testing, and blinded rechecking of slides. Interviewers may ask how you would set up or improve a QA system across district-level laboratories, how you would train peripheral staff on microscopy technique and RDT use, and how you would document and report QA findings to program management. Familiarity with Balochistan's health system and disease burden context will demonstrate program awareness and strengthen your candidacy.

Prepare your application package carefully before the deadline. Include: a detailed CV highlighting your QA, Microscopy, and RDT experience; attested copies of all educational testimonials (degrees, transcripts, diplomas); a copy of your CNIC; and 2 passport size photographs. All testimonials must be attested by a gazetted officer. Send the complete package via postal mail to Post Box No. 385 GPO Quetta. The application must reach within 15 days of publication of this advertisement (by 9th July 2026). Incomplete applications and those received after the due date will not be entertained. This is a re-advertisement, so applicants who submitted previously need not apply again.
