Mechanical Draftsperson / Graduate Engineer

GP Milling & Engineering | SolidWorks | 3D Site Scanning

GP Milling & Engineering is seeking a motivated Mechanical Draftsperson / Graduate Mechanical Engineer to join our team.

This is a practical, varied role combining mechanical design, drafting, 3D site scanning and project work. We’re looking for someone who enjoys getting out on site, understanding how equipment and structures fit together, and turning that information into accurate, practical designs.

The Role

Working as part of the GP Milling & Engineering team, you will be involved in projects from initial site investigation and measurement through to design, fabrication and installation.

Key responsibilities include:

Creating 3D models, assemblies and detailed drawings using SolidWorks

Conducting 3D site scans and capturing existing plant, equipment and structures

Processing point-cloud/scan data and developing accurate as-built 3D models

Undertaking site measurements, inspections and verification

Producing fabrication, machining, assembly and installation drawings

Reverse engineering existing components and equipment

Developing mechanical layouts and equipment arrangements

Designing practical components for machining and fabrication

Working closely with our workshop, tradespeople, engineers and clients

Assisting with mechanical engineering calculations, design and equipment selection

Managing drawing revisions and project documentation

Supporting projects through design, manufacture, installation and commissioning

About You

This position would suit either an experienced Mechanical Draftsperson or a Graduate Mechanical Engineer looking to build strong practical engineering experience.





Ideally, you will have:

Experience with SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD software

A qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Drafting or a related field

Strong mechanical aptitude and spatial awareness

An interest in machining, fabrication and practical engineering

Good attention to detail and accuracy

The ability to work independently both in the office and on site

A practical, hands-on approach to problem solving

Experience with 3D scanning, point clouds, reverse engineering, machining, milling, fabrication, structural steel or mechanical equipment would be highly regarded, although training can be provided.

Why GP Milling & Engineering?

At GP Milling & Engineering, you won’t be limited to sitting behind a desk producing drawings.

You’ll have the opportunity to see projects through from the real-world problem to the finished solution — site scanning and measurement, SolidWorks design, engineering, machining, fabrication and installation.

For a graduate engineer, it’s an prospect to develop practical engineering judgement and understand how things are actually manufactured and installed.

For an experienced draftsperson, it’s an opportunity to work across varied engineering projects while developing skills in modern 3D scanning and reverse-engineering technology.

If you’re mechanically minded, enjoy solving practical problems and want to be involved in the complete engineering process, we’d like to hear from you.
