Careers | ZAZTEK International

Why here

A small company where you own the whole job.

ZAZTEK has been building infrastructure since 2005. We're deliberately small, which means nobody here does one narrow slice of a project.

Range

Four disciplines, one role

Networks, servers, surveillance and application development in the same week. You won't specialise yourself into a corner.

Ownership

Your name on the deployment

You survey it, cost it, build it, train on it, and stand behind it. No handing work to a delivery team you never meet.

Tooling

We build our own instruments

BOQ generation, AI assistants, documentation pipelines — built in house, so you arrive at a client better equipped than the competition.

Your first six months

We'll tell you now what we'll judge you on later.

This is the actual progression we manage against. No vague probation, no moving target.

Day 30

Shadowing

Two deployments alongside a senior engineer. You can run the survey checklist unaided and stand up a demo environment on our stack.

Day 90

First deployment

You run one end to end with review at each phase. Your survey report, BOQ and user manual go to a client without heavy rewriting.

Day 180

Running solo

Deployments without review except at BOQ sign-off, and at least one customisation of yours has been promoted into the core product.

Open positions

One role open right now.

We hire one engineer at a time, run a full deployment with them, then hire the next. It keeps the training real.

Forward Deployed Engineer

You work at the client's site — surveying buildings, costing the BOQ, installing networks and cameras, customising our PHP/MySQL platforms to how that organisation actually runs, and training their staff until they don't need us.

Rawalpindi / Islamabad Full time On site + travel 3+ years

What you'll do

Visit client sites — floor walks, power and cabling audits, camera positions, and interviews with the people who'll use the system
Turn a survey into a costed, line-by-line bill of quantities
Install and configure networks, servers, cameras and our PHP/MySQL platforms
Write the customisations that make a standard system fit a specific client

Stay reachable for thirty days after handover, then hand back a written review

What you need

3+ years across networking, Linux administration, CCTV/NVR systems and web development
Working PHP and MySQL — you can read someone else's code and add a report or fix a query
Comfortable in a terminal, and comfortable on a ladder with a crimping tool
Fluent Urdu and professional English — you'll present to principals, doctors and IT managers
Driving licence and your own transport
Willing to travel to Lahore and elsewhere for multi-day deployments

Helps but not required: Hikvision / Dahua / Unifi, structured cabling, rack and power work, LLM APIs, Firebase, React or Next.js. Salary is matched to what you can do and reviewed at six months; travel, fuel and site allowance are paid on top.
