Job Summary
We are looking for a highly skilled and detail-oriented 3D CAD Draftsman to join an innovative engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for transforming engineering concepts, sketches, and specifications into accurate 2D drawings and 3D models that support the design, development, and production of industrial systems, equipment, and components.
The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of manufacturing processes and industrial engineering principles, with the ability to prepare technical documentation, support prototype builds, and ensure that designs meet industry standards for accuracy, efficiency, and safety.
This position requires close collaboration with engineers, project managers, and production teams to translate ideas into practical, manufacturable solutions that drive operational excellence.
You will play a critical role in bridging the gap between engineering design and manufacturing execution, ensuring that all drawings, models, and supporting documentation are precise, consistent, and optimized for cost-effective production.
Key Responsibilities
* Create, modify, and maintain detailed 2D technical drawings and 3D CAD models for mechanical parts, assemblies, and systems.
* Translate engineering sketches, calculations, and design concepts into accurate technical documentation.
* Collaborate with engineers to ensure drawings meet functional, safety, and manufacturing requirements.
* Prepare and maintain Bill of Materials (BOMs), part lists, and supporting documentation for procurement and production.
* Revise and update existing drawings and models throughout the project lifecycle.
* Support prototype development and provide design feedback during fabrication and assembly.
* Apply geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T) standards to ensure accuracy and manufacturability.
* Maintain organized drawing files, records, and version control in line with company standards.
* Assist in problem-solving by identifying potential design or production issues and recommending improvements.
Qualifications & Skills
* Diploma or Degree in Mechanical, Industrial Engineering, Drafting Technology, or related field.
* Proven experience as a 3D CAD Draftsman in an industrial, mechanical, or manufacturing environment.
* Proficiency in CAD software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor, or equivalent.
* Strong knowledge of engineering standards, tolerances, and industrial design practices.
* Familiarity with fabrication, machining, welding, and sheet metal processes.
* Ability to interpret and prepare engineering drawings, schematics, and technical specifications.
* Excellent attention to detail, organizational, and documentation skills.
* Strong communication and teamwork abilities to work effectively with engineers and production staff.
* Knowledge of industrial safety standards and manufacturing best practices is an advantage.
The Offer:
* A permanent, full-time employment contract
* A salary & benefits package commensurate with experience
