Careers

Work at ZADS

ZADS is a boutique architecture studio in Karachi where understanding comes before drawing. We move fast, hold a high bar for design and documentation, and work directly - no layers of corporate process. If you care about how spaces are thought through as much as how they look, you will fit here.

What you’ll find here

  • The whole journey

    Design and construction sit in one studio, so you see your drawings get built.

  • A small, direct team

    You work alongside the principal architect, not three layers below.

  • Real responsibility

    Live projects, real clients and time on site from the start.

Site Supervisor

Open until 27 Jan 2027

Daily reporting, issue tracking, and clear communication between site and studio are central to the role. This is a hands-on position for someone who can run a site with discipline and keep the office informed without being asked twice.

MEP Engineer

Open until 19 Jan 2027

ZADS is hiring an MEP Engineer for full-time, on-site work in Karachi. You will design and coordinate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems on residential and commercial projects, and keep those systems aligned with the architectural drawings from design through construction. The work covers layouts, load calculations, consultant coordination, and site queries. We need someone who can hold a drawing set to a buildable standard and say clearly when a service does not fit.

CAD Draftsman

Open until 19 Jan 2027

ZADS is hiring a CAD Draftsman for full-time, on-site work in Karachi. You will turn design decisions into clean drawing sets: plans, sections, elevations, details, and the revisions that follow. The role sits with the architects, so accuracy, layer discipline, and a fast markup cycle matter more than presentation work. This is a production role for someone who treats the drawing set as the thing the contractor builds from.
