DRAFTSMAN / DESIGNER – METAL FABRICATION

Metallum Heavy Industries is seeking an experienced Draftsman / Designer to join our team in Western Sydney.

We are an established Australian metal fabrication and manufacturing business delivering a diverse range of projects across structural steel, sheet metal, architectural fabrication and custom metalwork.

The Role

This is a hands-on design and drafting role for someone who understands not only how to produce accurate drawings, but how those drawings translate into fabrication on the workshop floor.

You will take projects from architectural, structural and engineering drawings, sketches and concepts through to detailed, production-ready fabrication drawings and 3D models.

Working closely with our production, estimating and project teams, you will ensure designs are accurate, practical, efficient to manufacture and ready for fabrication.

Key Skills & Experience

- Minimum 3 years’ drafting/design experience, preferably within metal fabrication or manufacturing
- Strong AutoCAD skills
- Strong SolidWorks skills
- Excellent 3D modelling capabilities
- Demonstrated sheet metal design and drafting experience
- Bend development and flat-pattern creation
- Sound understanding of press brake bending, bend allowances and fabrication constraints
- Ability to prepare laser-cutting and fabrication-ready drawings
- Structural steel and general metal fabrication knowledge
- Ability to produce detailed workshop,



fabrication and assembly drawings
- Good understanding of welding, fabrication processes and manufacturing tolerances
- Ability to interpret architectural, structural and engineering drawings
- BOM preparation and material take-offs
- Ability to work directly with production, estimating and project teams
- Solid attention to detail and ability to manage deadlines

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone with real-world metal fabrication knowledge — not simply CAD experience.

You should understand how components are actually cut, laser cut, folded, welded, fitted and assembled, and be able to design and detail with the manufacturing process in mind.

You will work closely with our workshop and production teams, so the ability to communicate effectively and resolve practical fabrication issues is important.

What We Offer

- Excellent salary/package for the right candidate
- Full-time position
- Immediate start available
- Modern fabrication and manufacturing environment
- Interesting and varied projects
- Direct involvement with production and manufacturing
- Opportunity to grow with an established Australian manufacturing business

If you are an experienced Draftsman / Designer with strong sheet metal and metal fabrication experience, we would like to hear from you.

Apply now with your CV and a brief summary of your drafting, design and fabrication experience.
