Mechanical Draughtsman (225-928)

A Mechanical Draughtsman plays a vital role in the design and development of mechanical systems by creating detailed drawings and specifications based on the ideas and designs provided by engineers and architects. As a key participant in the engineering team, the Mechanical Draughtsman is responsible for translating broad concepts into precise technical blueprints. These drawings are essential for the manufacturing and construction phases where they serve as the foundation for fabrication, assembly, and quality inspection. Utilizing advanced CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, a mechanical draughtsman ensures that designs comply with industry standards and specifications. With a strong attention to detail and precision, this role involves collaborating closely with engineers, project managers, and other stakeholders to bring ideas to life efficiently and accurately, while always adhering to the necessary safety protocols and regulations.

Responsibilities

• Create detailed mechanical drawings and schematics using CAD software for various projects.
• Collaborate with engineers to understand project requirements and specifications thoroughly.
• Ensure that all designs comply with industry standards and safety regulations.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of CAD software and other design resources.
• Review and modify designs based on feedback from technical staff and project leaders.
• Generate assembly and installation instructions from detailed engineering drawings.
• Analyze design concepts and provide input to improve functionality and reduce costs.
• Work with manufacturing teams to resolve any issues related to design feasibility and functionality.
• Prepare documentation and reports for project progress updates and design analyses.
• Identify and correct any discrepancies in technical drawings and project specifications.
• Coordinate with other departments to ensure synchronicity and compliance in design development.
• Conduct site visits as necessary to gather data and update design requirements.

Requirements

• Diploma or degree in mechanical engineering, drafting, or a related field.
• Proficiency in CAD software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar tools.
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems, engineering concepts, and design principles.
• Ability to interpret technical drawings and schematics accurately and effectively.
• Excellent attention to detail and precision in creating technical diagrams.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, to work with project teams.
• Experience in a manufacturing or engineering environment is highly advantageous.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines effectively.
