Working closely with our Engineering Manager, design engineers and production teams, you'll help turn recent product concepts into production-ready products, processes, tooling and documentation.
The role
Your primary focus will be getting new products production-ready, including:
Taking new products from prototype through to production release




Reviewing designs for manufacturability and recommending practical improvements
Producing and finalising production drawings and Bills of Materials
Developing manufacturing methods and production processes for new products
Designing jigs, fixtures and production tooling
Supporting prototype builds, production trials and first production runs
Working directly with fabrication and assembly teams to identify and resolve production issues
Ensuring new products can be manufactured efficiently, consistently and to the required quality
Updating CAD models, drawings and documentation following production feedback
Supporting the handover of new products into ongoing production
Contributing to continuous improvement of existing products and manufacturing processes
About you
We're looking for someone with strong engineering fundamentals and a practical understanding of how fabricated products are made.
Ideally, you will have:
A degree or relevant trade qualification in engineering
3–5 years' experience in a production, manufacturing or fabrication engineering environment
Experience with sheet metal and fabricated products
Experience taking new products from design or prototype through to production
A strong understanding of processes such as cutting, bending,



welding, machining and assembly
Experience with 3D CAD using Autodesk Inventor and/or SolidWorks
Experience producing 2D production drawings and Bills of Materials
Experience designing jigs and fixtures
Strong problem-solving skills
Excellent attention to detail
Strong communication skills and the ability to work closely with engineering and production teams
Experience with FEA would be advantageous, as would experience in automotive manufacturing or a genuine interest in 4x4 products.
Why TCC?
At TCC, engineering and manufacturing happen under the same roof.
You won't just release drawings and move on. You'll see the products you work on being cut, folded, welded, assembled and finished by the team around you, and you'll have the opportunity to work directly with production to make them better.
We're growing quickly, expanding our product range and investing in our engineering and manufacturing capability.
For the right engineer, that means the opportunity to:
Have genuine input into how products are designed and manufactured
Work across both new product development and production improvement
See projects through from concept to finished product
Work directly with an experienced engineering and manufacturing team
Be part of a growing Australian manufacturer making its products locally
If you enjoy solving manufacturing problems, improving how things are made and seeing your engineering work come to life on the factory floor, we'd like to hear from you.
