How to Prepare for This Role
Karachi Shipyard & Engineering Works Limited is a major public sector industrial organization operating Pakistan's largest shipyard. Selection for AM-level and technical positions involves a written test followed by an interview. The guide below covers the key preparation areas relevant across the positions advertised, with a focus on the AM-level engineering and technical roles that carry the most structured selection process.
For AM-level positions (Fabrication, Machine Shop, QC Paint), the panel will test your technical knowledge specific to the role. AM (Fabrication) candidates should be prepared to discuss steel structure fabrication, pressure vessels, tanks, heat exchangers, and boilers, as well as their ability to read and interpret engineering drawings. AM (Machine Shop) candidates should prepare to discuss machining processes for casted jobs and steel structures, CNC machine operation, and engineering drawing interpretation. AM (QC) Paint candidates should be ready to discuss coating inspection processes, industrial painting standards, and BGAS/AMPP CIP Level-I requirements.
PEC registration is mandatory for AM (Fabrication) and AM (Machine Shop). Confirm your PEC registration is current and bring your PEC certificate to the test and interview. For AM (QC) Paint, bring your BGAS or AMPP CIP certificate if you hold one, as it is explicitly listed as a preference.
Reading and interpreting engineering drawings is listed as a requirement or preference for AM (Fabrication), AM (Machine Shop), and Technical Assistant. Be ready to demonstrate your ability to read mechanical, structural, and fabrication drawings during the test. For the Technical Assistant role, prepare to discuss your experience with drafting and designing for Steel Structures, Pressure Vessels, Storage Tanks, Heat Exchangers, and Marine structures using DAE-level technical knowledge. MS Office proficiency is listed as a requirement across multiple AM-level positions.
For the Technical Assistant position, your DAE (Mechanical or Electrical) from a recognized institution is the core qualification. Prepare to discuss specific drafting and design projects you have completed, the tools you used (MS Office and drafting software), and the types of technical drawings you have produced in a shipbuilding, marine, or heavy engineering environment.
For skilled trade positions (Machine Operator, Steel Fabricator, Electric Welder, Fitter, Core Maker, Electrician, Furnace Operator, Khallasi, Moulder, Turner), the selection process includes a test. Be ready for a practical skills assessment relevant to your trade. Machine Operators and Turner candidates should prepare to demonstrate operation of relevant machinery. Electric Welder candidates should be ready for a welding test. Electrician candidates should ensure their wireman license is current as it is explicitly preferred. For all trade positions, prepare documents verifying 02 to 03 years of relevant trade experience and any trade course certificates.
Trade course certificates from TEVTA or recognized vocational institutions are explicitly listed as preferred for all skilled trade positions. If you hold a relevant trade certificate, include a verified copy with your application and bring the original to the interview. This directly differentiates you from candidates without formal trade training.
Apply online at www.karachishipyard.com.pk/page/careers or send your CV through courier. If applying by courier, include: completed application form, 02 passport size photographs, verified copies of all educational certificates/diplomas/degrees from concerned Board or HEC, CNIC, and Domicile.
