We’re looking for a hands-on SolidWorks Drafter who wants to do more than just produce drawings. At Safetylyne you’ll design practical, compliant aluminium height safety and roof access systems — then spend time on the shop floor to make sure what you’ve designed actually builds well and works in the real world.
This is a design + fabrication role. You’ll take projects from first sketch through to fabrication drawings, material take-offs, and final assembly, working closely with engineers, the workshop team, and installers.
What You’ll Do
- Prepare detailed submittal, fabrication, and installation drawings in SolidWorks (including weldments and sheet metal)
- Generate DXF and STEP files for subcontractors
- Develop accurate material take-offs and support cost estimation
- Ensure drawings are practical, buildable, and compliant with relevant codes and standards
- Work on the shop floor to review assemblies and resolve issues early
- Coordinate multiple projects, manage drawing revisions, and support workshop and site teams
- Identify potential bottlenecks and propose practical solutions
What We’re Looking For
Essential
- Proven SolidWorks experience (weldments and sheet metal essential)
- Drafting experience in a fabrication, sheet metal, or structural environment
- Robust understanding of manufacturing processes and workshop workflows
- High attention to detail and solid revision control discipline
- Ability to read architectural and structural drawings
- Confident communicator who is comfortable working across office and workshop
- Australian work rights
Desirable
- Hands-on welding or sheet metal fabrication experience
- Knowledge of CNC punching, plasma cutting, or related processes
- Quality control or cost estimation/project coordination experience
Why Join Safetylyne
- See your designs move from screen to site — real projects that keep people safe at height
- Hands-on role with genuine shop-floor involvement
- Competitive salary + team profit share + travel support
- Family-owned, down-to-earth culture with career progression from within
- Sunshine Coast lifestyle and a growing Australian company trusted by major clients
