Mechanical Engineer

About the Role
We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Mechanical Engineer with a strong background in fabrication design and engineering drawings. The ideal candidate should be highly capable of interpreting and creating detailed fabricatio
concepts into practical, manufacturable designs. This role will work closely with the fabrication and project teams to ensure designs are accurate, practical,
and suitable for manufacturing. Strong hands-on knowledge of Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD is
essential.

Tasks

Key Responsibilities

Create and develop detailed fabrication and manufacturing drawings using Autodesk Inventor
and AutoCAD.
Read, interpret, and understand engineering, fabrication, assembly, and welding drawings.
Develop practical designs for fabricated components and assemblies.
Ensure drawings include accurate dimensions, tolerances, materials, specifications, and fabrication
details.
Apply knowledge of welding, weld symbols, joints, and fabrication methods when preparing and
reviewing drawings.
Review designs to ensure they are suitable for fabrication, assembly, and installation.
Work closely with fabricators and engineers to resolve design and fabrication issues.
Modify and improve existing designs based on fabrication requirements or project changes.
Prepare and review fabrication drawings, shop drawings, and assembly drawings.
Perform drawing checks to identify dimensional, structural, or fabrication-related issues before
production.
Coordinate with suppliers and fabrication teams when clarification or technical information is
required.
Assist with material take-offs, fabrication requirements, and technical documentation.
Use Navisworks or similar software to review models and identify potential clashes or design issues
where required.
Ensure all drawings and technical documents meet project and client requirements
