DRAFTSMAN / DESIGNER – METAL FABRICATION

Metallum Fabrication Pty Ltd – St Marys NSW

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

n

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.

n

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

n

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

- Minimum 3 years' drafting/design experience, preferably within metal fabrication or manufacturing

What We're Looking For

n

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

n

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.

n

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

n

What We Offer

n

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

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