Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) Chairman Engineer Waseem Nazir announced plans to fully digitalize all council systems by December. At a consultative meeting in Karachi, engineers, contractors and industry representatives discussed challenges facing the construction sector. Nazir emphasized the core purpose of ongoing reforms was to provide faster, transparent and easier services to engineers, contractors and professionals.
The council introduced an e-licensing system and Graduate Trainee Engineers program to connect young engineers with practical training and professional opportunities. PEC is also working to make engineer registration mandatory for all Pakistani engineers. The council is improving its systems to align with international standards through ISO certification.
PEC has a partnership with NADRA to provide digital identities for engineers and has launched an e-license facility for contractors, with instant renewal available within 24 hours. CAP Syed Afzalur Rehman raised concerns about contractor license validity and price adjustment formula, suggesting an increase to 90:10. He also called for reviving PICC to benefit all stakeholders in the construction sector.
