About the Role
We are looking for a CAD Draughtsperson with machine design experience to support the development of custom-built mechanical systems and equipment. This position is suited to a technically strong draughtsperson who understands assemblies, moving components, tolerances, and manufacturability within a machine-building environment.
You will work closely with design engineers to translate conceptual designs into accurate 3D models and production-ready manufacturing drawings.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop detailed 3D models and assemblies for custom machinery
- Produce machining, fabrication, and assembly drawings
- Detail components such as shafts, brackets, housings, frames, and mechanical sub-assemblies
- Apply correct fits, tolerances, and surface finish requirements
- Assist with bill of materials preparation and drawing pack compilation
- Update and revise drawings throughout the design and manufacturing lifecycle
- Support prototype builds and incorporate design refinements
- Maintain organised CAD libraries and revision control systems
- Collaborate with engineering and workshop teams to ensure build accuracy
Qualifications, Skills, and Experience- N4–N6 or Diploma in Mechanical Draughting (or equivalent)
- Approximately 2–6 years’ experience in machine design or equipment draughting
- Strong understanding of mechanical assemblies and manufacturing processes
- Proficiency in Inventor, SolidWorks, or similar 3D CAD software
- Understanding of fits, tolerances, and material selection
- Exposure to FEA-ready modelling practices advantageous
- Good problem-solving ability and attention to detail
- Ability to manage multiple drawing packages under supervision
- Strong teamwork and communication skills
Why Join Us- Be involved in the design of innovative, custom-built machinery
- See projects progress from concept through to fabrication and commissioning
- Hands-on exposure to mechanical system integration
- Supportive technical environment with clear growth opportunities
