This is an incredible opportunity for a practical, hands-on designer who enjoys solving engineering challenges and working closely with manufacturing and fabrication teams.

  • Developing 3D models and technical documentation
  • Assisting with engineering calculations, design reviews and feasibility assessments
  • Working closely with engineers, workshop personnel and project teams
  • Ensuring designs comply with relevant Australian Standards and client requirements
  • Identifying practical design improvements and manufacturing efficiencies
  • Providing technical guidance and mentoring within the Brisbane office
The ideal candidate will possess substantial experience in mechanical design and drafting, ideally within a manufacturing, fabrication or heavy industrial environment.

In addition:
  • Advanced experience using SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD or similar CAD software
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing and fabrication processes
  • Experience producing accurate workshop-ready manufacturing drawings
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively
  • Australian Citizenship, Permanent Residency or unrestricted Australian work rights
If you're looking to join a growing Queensland business where your practical engineering knowledge and leadership will be valued, this may be your next best move.
