A typical maintenance superintendent working in Pakistan brings home around 65,666 PKR a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 378,300 PKR, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 1,235,600 PKR for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.


How maintenance superintendent pay ranges in Pakistan

A good way to think about salary in Pakistan is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all maintenance superintendents in Pakistan earn less than 816,900 PKR a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 539,800 PKR (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 1,069,900 PKR (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of maintenance superintendents sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 378,300 PKR. The highest stretch to 1,235,600 PKR, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Maintenance superintendent pay by experience in Pakistan

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a maintenance superintendent in Pakistan, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical maintenance superintendent salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    442,300 PKR
  • 2-5 Years
    +42% from previous
    626,800 PKR
  • 5-10 Years
    +31% from previous
    823,400 PKR
  • 10-15 Years
    +23% from previous
    1,011,300 PKR

    +7% from previous
    1,077,700 PKR
  • 20+ Years
    +10% from previous
    1,180,700 PKR

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 0 - 2 Years to 2 - 5 Years, where pay rises by about 42%. That is the point at which a maintenance superintendent typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.


Maintenance superintendent pay by education in Pakistan

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving maintenance superintendent pay in Pakistan. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Maintenance superintendent gender pay gap in Pakistan

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Pakistan is no exception. Male maintenance superintendents in Pakistan earn an average of 840,100 PKR a year, while female maintenance superintendents earn around 762,400 PKR. That works out to a 10% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.

Pay raises for a maintenance superintendent in Pakistan
