The Opportunity

You will translate customer drawings, specifications, sketches and measurements into accurate production drawings and manufacturing documentation. You will also help document existing equipment for replacement or repair, resolve technical questions, and support projects from quotation through fabrication.

This position combines CAD work with hands-on interaction in the shop and occasional customer site visits.

Responsibilities

- Produce and revise 2D fabrication drawings and 3D models for fabricated and machined industrial components.
- Prepare assembly drawings, detail drawings, bills of materials, cut lists and drawing packages for production and purchasing.
- Include appropriate dimensions, tolerances, weld symbols, material specifications and machining requirements.
- Measure and document existing equipment and components to support replacement, reproduction, repair and rebuild projects.
- Identify missing information, discrepancies and fit-up concerns before work begins.
- Work with customers, engineering partners, suppliers and the shop team to clarify technical requirements.
- Review drawings with welders, fitters and machinists to confirm manufacturability and assembly requirements.
- Support estimating with material quantities, component breakdowns and fabrication considerations.
- Assist with repair documentation, dimensional checks and as-built drawings.
- Maintain organized CAD files, drawing numbers, revision histories and controlled production documents.
- Coordinate required technical reviews and approvals before drawings are released for manufacturing.
- Identify opportunities to improve drawing standards, templates and manufacturing efficiency.

Qualifications

- Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Design, Drafting or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
- Ideally three or more years of mechanical drafting or design experience in industrial equipment,



custom fabrication or machinery manufacturing.
- Proficiency in a 3D mechanical CAD platform such as SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor, with familiarity with AutoCAD.
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, welding symbols, tolerances and material specifications.
- Practical understanding of welding, plate fabrication, machining and equipment assembly.
- Ability to take accurate measurements and develop drawings from existing parts, sketches or incomplete documentation.
- Strong attention to detail, organization and communication.
- Comfortable working in a manufacturing shop and collaborating directly with tradespeople.

Assets

- Experience with heavy industrial equipment, fans, tanks, cyclones, ductwork or structural fabrications.
- Experience with reverse engineering, field measurements or 3D scanning.
- Familiarity with GD&T; and CNC cutting files.
- Experience in a quality-controlled manufacturing environment.
- C.E.T. or C.Tech. designation, or eligibility to pursue certification.
- Valid driver’s licence and ability to attend occasional customer site visits.

Technical Scope

The role supports mechanical detailing, manufacturing development and equipment documentation within the successful candidate’s qualifications. Work requiring skilled engineering approval will be coordinated with the appropriate engineering resource.

What We Offer

- Varied industrial projects with direct involvement in the finished product.
- Close collaboration with an experienced fabrication and machining team.
- Opportunity to help establish drawing standards and strengthen our internal technical capabilities.
- Exposure to a range of custom, repair, replacement and reverse-engineering projects.
- A growing company that values quality, integrity, teamwork and practical problem-solving.
