His first job was with Dundee City Council where he was in charge of a youth employment scheme on the renovation of Mains Castle. He set up Arkos Design Partnership with Philip Hainsworth in the early 1980s and in 1985 formed his own practice, Jack Fulton Associates. It was based in Dundee. He was elected ARIBA in 1986. Jack Fulton Associates undertook a wide range of work, including many tenement restorations, residential schemes and alterations to private houses. The firm specialized in funeral parlours and mortuary facilities. The practice won a number of Civic Trust and RIBA awards. Fulton served on the RIAS Education Committee and was Scottish representative on ARCUK and from 1991-1993 was president of the Dundee Institute of Architects.
