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
Positive 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
Good communication skills
A current driver's licence
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 chance 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 opportunity 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.
Apply with your CV and a brief introduction outlining your experience with SolidWorks, drafting, mechanical engineering and any relevant site, machining or fabrication experience.
