- Liaising with internal teams, fabricators, suppliers and external consultants

- Identifying design issues and contributing practical solutions

- Supporting the continued development and improvement of standard products, components and design processes

To be successful in the role,



you will have:

- Demonstrated professional experience using Autodesk Inventor
- A qualification in mechanical drafting, engineering drafting, industrial design, mechanical design or another relevant technical discipline
