Mechanical Draughtsman 07N25

A Mechanical Draughtsman plays a crucial role in the design and development of mechanical systems and components. This position involves creating detailed technical drawings and plans that guide the manufacturing and assembly of mechanical products and machines. Typically working closely with engineers and other key stakeholders, a Mechanical Draughtsman ensures that designs are translated into precise and functional technical drawings, often using computer-aided design (CAD) software. These drawings and models are integral to the prototyping, testing, and production phases of product development. A strong attention to detail, technical expertise, and the ability to interpret complex instructions and specifications are essential to succeed in this role. Moreover, the Mechanical Draughtsman must stay updated with industry trends and standards to produce relevant and accurate designs.

Responsibilities

• Create detailed technical drawings of mechanical parts and assemblies using CAD software.
• Collaborate with engineers to understand project specifications and design requirements.
• Revise and update drawings based on engineer feedback and design changes.
• Ensure that all drawings comply with industry standards and best practices.
• Produce 3D models of designs for visualization and further analysis.
• Liaise with production and manufacturing teams to ensure design feasibility.
• Develop detailed part drawings and assembly instructions for manufacturing.
• Maintain an organized library of finished drawings and related documentation.
• Participate in the quality checking process to verify the accuracy of designs.
• Support the engineering team during prototype development and testing phases.
• Stay updated with the latest design tools and industry trends for continuous improvement.
• Provide technical guidance and feedback to junior draughting team members.

Requirements
