Mechanical Design Draftsperson
Sunshine Coast | Permanent Full-Time
Are you a Mechanical Design Draftsperson who likes seeing what you design actually get built?
AustCorp Executive has been retained by one of our clients, an established Australian engineering and manufacturing business who are looking to add an experienced Mechanical Design Draftsperson to its Sunshine Coast team.
This is a hands-on mechanical design role working across both existing products and new project-specific solutions, taking designs from concept and 3D modelling through to detailed fabrication drawings and manufacture.
We are particularly interested in speaking with candidates from
fabrication, mechanical equipment, pumps, process equipment, water/wastewater or industrial manufacturing environments.
The Role
Working closely with engineering, projects and workshop/fabrication teams, you will:
Create and modify 3D mechanical parts, assemblies and models
Produce detailed manufacturing and fabrication drawings
Prepare general arrangement, assembly and component drawings
Develop designs from concepts, sketches, measurements and engineering requirements
Modify existing products for project and site-specific applications
Maintain drawing revisions and design documentation
Work directly with workshop and fabrication personnel to resolve manufacturing issues
Support projects from initial design through to fabrication, assembly and delivery
Assist with design documentation for quotations and tenders where required
About You
We are looking for someone who is mechanically minded and understands how products are actually fabricated and assembled.
Ideally,



you will bring:
Strong professional 3D mechanical design/drafting experience
Experience with
Autodesk Inventor or similar 3D mechanical design software
Experience producing drawings used directly for manufacture or fabrication
Understanding of materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, structural steel, sheet metal or plastics
Exposure to welding, machining, fabrication or mechanical assembly
Strong mechanical aptitude and practical problem-solving skills
Ability to work closely with engineers, project teams and workshop personnel
Experience within
water/wastewater, pumps, process equipment, pipework, tanks, vessels, industrial equipment or fabricated products
would be highly regarded.
This is not an architectural or building drafting position — we are looking for someone with genuine
mechanical, manufacturing and fabrication capability.
What's On Offer?
Strong salary on offer, negotiable depending on experience
Permanent, full-time position
Sunshine Coast location
Established Australian engineering/manufacturing business
Varied product and project-based design work
Work directly alongside engineering and fabrication teams
See your designs move from concept through to finished manufactured products
Excellent chance for someone looking to build a long-term career on the Sunshine Coast
If you're an experienced Mechanical Design Draftsperson considering a move to the Sunshine Coast, or already based locally and looking for a role where you can have genuine involvement from design through to manufacture, we'd love to hear from you.
