NESPAK INTRODUCTION National Engineering Services Pakistan (Pvt) Limited (NESPAK) is Pakistans premier consultancy organization.

Its international stature is well established and it enjoys the reputation of being one of the top engineering consultancy organizations in Asia and Africa and is ranked amongst the worlds top 200 consulting firms. History of NESPAK: There has never been a dearth of competent engineers in Pakistan, but unfortunately over the years the major development projects in Pakistan were handed out to the foreign consultant at the cost of self-confidence of Pakistani engineers and other professionals. Belatedly, when the Indus Basin project was near completion, the higher authority in Pakistan realized that the Pakistani engineers must be given practical exposure and responsibility in this gigantic national development project. It was realized that any delay in taking this initiative will be disastrous for the engineering profession in Pakistan. It was under these circumstances that National Engineering Services Pakistan (Pvt) Limited (NESPAK) was established in 1973 as a private limited company by the Government of Pakistan and it is Pakistans premier consultancy organization. The company started its operations from WAPDA House, Lahore in a two-room office setup. The first appointment in NESPAK was that of the managing director which came about from WAPDA, whereby Sheikh Irshad Ahmad, the then Director General Design Directorate, who made the first Managing Director of NESPAK serving the organization for 10 years.

The objective of its creation was to create a pool of talented engineers, attain self-reliance in engineering consultancy and replace foreign consultants. The company has achieved these objectives.

The Companys success lies in the hard work of its highly skilled employees and commitment to quality in every facet of its operation. It was this commitment that led it to become the first engineering consultancy organization in Pakistan to obtain ISO 9001 QMS certification in 1998. Another landmark has been achieved by NESPAK in its endeavors towards quality, through conversion of the existing ISO 9001 Quality Management System to the latest version of the standard viz. ISO 9001:2000 and subsequent award of Evergreen Certificates in December 2003.

HUMAN RESOURCES: Before 2007, NESPAKs Human Resource Division was not properly developed; engineers dislike the concept of being managed by others. In 2007, when Karamat-ulla-Chaudhry was appointed as a new Managing Director at NESPAK, he organized the HR division and all the HR activities were operated according to his line of action and HR division was considered as investment rather than an expense. After development of HR division the HR employees were given the professional rank. As before that they were counted as Para Professional. Still a person having its specialization in Marketing is ranked as Para-Professional Staff.

Staffing: NESPAK has on its roll some of the best professionals in various fields of engineering. It has also been able to attract a large number of Pakistani experts from abroad. NESPAK is thus able to offer the services of highly qualified and experienced professionals. At present, NESPAK has staff strength of 2,651 of employees including 2,186 highly qualified engineers, architects, planners, geologists, economists and other professionals.
