The ability to work independently with minimal supervision
Strong attention to detail and practical problem-solving skills
Good communication skills and the ability to work closely with both office and workshop teams
The ability to manage priorities and take ownership of projects from design through to manufacture
Experience within stainless steel fabrication or commercial kitchen equipment would be highly regarded but is not essential. Strong experience in sheet metal, manufacturing or a similar fabrication environment will also be considered.
What we offer:
$75,000–$95,000 + super, depending on experience
A senior design role with genuine project ownership
Diverse custom projects – not repetitive production drafting
Direct involvement from concept through to manufacture and installation
The opportunity to see what you design being manufactured in our workshop
