What You'll Be Doing
- Producing detailed mechanical, structural, and plant layout drawings for mining and mineral processing projects.
- Developing General Arrangements, fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, and manufacturing detail drawings.
- Creating and maintaining accurate 3D models and engineering documentation.
- Collaborating with engineers, project managers, and clients to deliver practical and efficient design solutions.
- Reviewing drawings and ensuring compliance with project standards and quality requirements.
- Managing drawing revisions and maintaining document control throughout project lifecycles.
- Providing technical support during fabrication, construction, and installation phases.
- Mentoring junior draughting personnel and contributing to continuous improvement within the design team.
What We're Looking For
- National Diploma or relevant qualification in Draughting, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
- Minimum 8 years of draughting experience within mining, mineral processing, heavy industrial, or materials handling environments.
- Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and 3D modelling software such as Inventor, SolidWorks, Plant 3D, or similar.
- Strong understanding of structural steelwork, mechanical equipment, piping systems, conveyors, chutes, tanks, and process plant layouts.
- Experience producing fabrication and manufacturing drawings for industrial projects.
- A self-starter capable of managing multiple projects while maintaining exceptional quality standards.
The Ideal Candidate
You don't simply draft what others design.
You challenge assumptions, identify clashes before they become site problems, and understand the practical realities of fabrication and installation. You are technically strong, solutions-driven, and take pride in producing work that engineers, fabricators, and clients can rely on.
If you're looking for a role where your experience will be valued, your technical ability respected, and your contribution visible on major mining and mineral processing projects, we'd like to hear from you.
