  • Collaborate with stakeholders (product development, procurement, manufacturing, quality) to ensure designs meet functional, quality and regulatory requirements.
  • Review existing fabrication processes, identify improvements, and implement engineering changes to reduce waste, increase throughput, improve safety and optimise manufacturing flows.
  • Ensure drawings and documentation are maintained, version-controlled, and compliant with internal standards.

  • High proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD, or equivalent) including generating fabrication and assembly drawings.
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing processes (cutting, forming, welding, finishing, assembly) and how to engineer for efficient production.
  • Hands-on mindset and ability to work in a fast-moving manufacturing setting, liaising between design and shop floor.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to drive engineering decisions from concept through to manufacturing.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively across functions.

Desirable Skills & Attributes

  • Experience in working with sheet metal, laser/plasma cutting, bending/forming, robotic welding or CNC fabrication.
  • Experience with quality systems / manufacturing standards (e.g., ISO9001, AS/NZS standards) or relevant engineering certifications.
  • Familiarity with manufacturing cost-engineering, throughput optimisation, lean manufacturing practices.
  • Demonstrated ability to implement continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Self-motivated, adaptable, and comfortable working in a contract environment with clearly defined deliverables.
