Why FD Design

A practice where your
work genuinely matters

01

Real projects from day one

FD Design works across architecture, interiors, hospitality, industrial facilities, and large-format estates. You are not handed repetitive drafting work. You engage with actual design problems on live projects, alongside the founding architects, from your first week.

02

Direct access to the founders

Ar. Raghu Sharma and Ar. Vaishali Sharma are both active practitioners, not administrators. The team that joins FD Design now works directly in the room where design decisions are made — not filtered through layers of hierarchy.

03

A practice being built, not maintained

FD Design is in a deliberate growth and restructuring phase after 25 years. People who join now participate in shaping how the firm organises, grows, and positions itself for the next decade. That kind of exposure is rare at any career stage.

04

Philosophy that lasts

The Fourth Dimension — designing spaces through time, not just for the moment of completion. This is not a tagline. It shapes how every project is approached, how materials are chosen, and how every detail is resolved. If that kind of depth matters to you, you will find it here.

Open Roles

Where you fit in

We hire across full-time, part-time, and project-based arrangements. What matters is the quality of your work and your commitment to seeing it through.

Core roles Design & Architecture
Architect
Full-time New Delhi 3–10 yrs exp

You will work across active projects in residential, hospitality, and industrial design — from concept development through construction documentation and site coordination. FD Design values architects who can think at every scale and take responsibility for outcomes, not just drawings.

What you will gainExposure to a full design-to-build practice. Direct mentorship from the founding architects. Projects that test your ability to resolve design and construction together.
Assistant Architect
Full-time New Delhi 0–3 yrs exp

A learning role with real responsibility. You will assist on live projects, contribute to design development, prepare drawings, and participate in site visits. Graduates who want to accelerate their understanding of how architecture is actually practiced — not just taught — will find this role formative.

What you will gainHands-on exposure across project types. The chance to work directly under practicing architects who are active on site and in the studio simultaneously.
Interior Designer
Full-time New Delhi 2–8 yrs exp

FD Design's interior practice covers luxury residences, boutique hospitality, and experiential spaces. We are looking for a designer with a strong spatial sensibility, comfort with material selection and detailing, and the ability to carry a project from concept through execution. Trend-followers need not apply.

What you will gainProjects with genuine design complexity. A practice where interiors and architecture are resolved together, not treated as separate disciplines bolted on at the end.
Core roles Site & Construction
Site Supervisor
Full-time Site-based, Delhi NCR 4–12 yrs exp

The person who makes sure what is drawn actually gets built — to the right standard, on the right timeline. You will oversee day-to-day site operations, coordinate with contractors and vendors, track quality, and report progress. FD Design's projects span residential, hospitality, and industrial — the role requires adaptability across environments.

What you will gainOwnership of site execution on meaningful projects. Direct interface with the design team, so decisions get made quickly and correctly. A role where your judgement is genuinely trusted.
Junior Site Engineer
Full-time Site-based 1–4 yrs exp

Supporting site supervision across active construction projects. You will assist in quality checks, material inspections, contractor coordination, and progress documentation. A civil or structural engineering background with site exposure is preferred. Candidates who want to grow from site support toward site leadership will find a clear path here.

What you will gainStructured mentorship under senior site leadership. Exposure to the full construction cycle across project types — not just one building typology repeated indefinitely.
Consulting Engineering & Technical Consultants
Structural Engineer
Project-based Remote / Delhi 5+ yrs exp

We engage structural engineers on a project basis across our residential, industrial, and large-format estate projects. If you have experience in RCC, steel, or PEB structures and want to associate with a design practice that takes structural coordination seriously — not as an afterthought — we would like to speak with you.

What you will gainProject-based engagement with clear scope. A design team that coordinates with engineering from the first sketch, not the last drawing.
MEP Consultant
Project-based Remote / Delhi 5–15 yrs exp

Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering across architectural and industrial projects. We work on projects where MEP integration is a design consideration, not a checkbox — particularly in hospitality and industrial facility work where technical systems must perform at a high level.

What you will gainFlexible project-based association. Exposure to a varied project pipeline where your technical depth is central to outcomes, not peripheral to them.
Industrial Facility Consultant
Project-based / Retainer Remote / Site 10+ yrs exp

Senior professionals with experience in industrial manufacturing facility design, process engineering, GMP layouts, or related disciplines. FD Design is developing large-scale industrial projects and needs experienced minds who have done this before. This is a senior advisory association, not a support role.

What you will gainProject participation on meaningful terms. Commercial engagement structured around your expertise. Association with a practice building serious industrial capability.
Occasional Strategy, Management & Communications
Strategic Assistant
Full-time New Delhi Fresh MBA / 0–2 yrs

A cross-functional role supporting the Principal Architects in the operational and strategic transformation of the firm. Building systems, defining verticals, tracking performance, and enabling the founders to focus on design and client leadership. Not a desk job. Not a back-office role. A rare opportunity to see how a serious design practice is built from the inside.

What you will gainDirect proximity to leadership from day one. The chance to build organisation systems in a practice that is actively growing — and to grow with it.
Outreach & Communications Associate
Full-time New Delhi + Field Mass Comm background

Leading the firm's media, content, and outreach presence. Site visits, project films, social media, newsletters, and eventually podcast production. The role requires someone who can observe, ask intelligent questions, and translate design work into compelling narrative — independently, with minimal direction.

What you will gainFull ownership of a creative vertical. Access to real architectural projects as your content. The ability to build something from the ground up.
What we look for

Beyond the portfolio

"We are not looking for the most technically accomplished candidate. We are looking for the one who will care most — about the project, about the craft, and about doing it properly." — Ar. Raghu Sharma, Principal Architect
Design intelligence
The ability to read a space, understand a brief, and propose something that actually responds to the problem — not the formula you already know.
Ownership mindset
People who treat their work as theirs to resolve, not theirs to pass along. We value those who follow through without being followed up.
Site sensibility
An understanding that architecture lives on site, not on screen. Comfort with construction reality and willingness to get your hands into the detail.
Long-term thinking
We are not interested in people who are here for a certificate or a stepping stone. We are interested in people who want to build something over years, not months.
Communication clarity
The ability to articulate an idea to a client, a contractor, or a colleague — clearly and respectfully, without ambiguity. Design fails when communication fails.
Curiosity
An interest in the world beyond your discipline. The best design professionals we have worked with are always learning — from site, from travel, from books, from other fields.
Life at FD Design

A studio where depth is the standard

FD Design is not a large firm where you disappear into a department. It is a mid-sized practice with a tight, experienced team — where each person carries genuine responsibility and each project reflects the full capability of whoever touches it.

The studio is based in Naraina Vihar, New Delhi. Projects take us across the city, to sites around North India, and occasionally further. The work is demanding and the environment is direct.

  • Direct access to principal architects on every project
  • Real site exposure — not confined to studio work alone
  • A team that has worked together for years, not months
  • Multi-disciplinary projects that stretch your capabilities
  • A practice building new capabilities in industrial and hospitality development
