Overview
We're looking for a practical Mechanical Draftsperson who understands that a good drawing is only useful if it can actually be built.
This role sits right between engineering and the workshop, working on specialist Australian-designed equipment used by private industry and government clients nationwide.
You'll modify and update AutoCAD drawings, manage revisions through Vault, maintain design documentation, and work closely with engineers and trades to ensure designs are practical, manufacturable and fit for purpose.

If you're a down-to-earth operator who understands manufacturing and takes pride in producing accurate, practical designs, we'd like to hear from you.
