3 days ago

Gunnedah New South Wales, Australia Many Fabrication & Engineering Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

Real projects. Real impact. Regional lifestyle.

Many Fabrication & Engineering (MF&E) is a fast-growing regional fabrication and engineering business delivering high-quality projects across the mining, industrial, civil, government and agricultural sectors.

We're looking for an experienced Draftsperson – Steel Fabrication & Detailing to join our Gunnedah-based team.


About the Role

This is a hands-on drafting role—not a graduate engineering position. Your drawings go straight to the workshop floor, so practical fabrication knowledge is essential.

You'll:

  • Produce fabrication drawings, part drawings, and mark-ups.
  • Be proficient in AutoCAD, Inventor, Fusion 360, and/or Tekla to deliver accurate and buildable outputs.
  • Work with cutting-edge tools like the Trimble X7 laser scanner for precision site planning.
  • Manage your own workflow from initial mark-up to final workshop issue.
  • Proactively ensure your drawings are efficient, practical, and workshop-ready.

What We're Looking For
  • Minimum 3 years' drafting experience in a fabrication or engineering setting.
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD, Inventor, Fusion 360, and Tekla.
  • Solid workshop/fabrication understanding—you know how steel is cut, welded, and assembled.
  • Strong self-management, organisation and communication skills.
  • Permanent right to work in Australia.

Note: This role is not suitable for graduate engineers or applicants without practical fabrication drafting experience.


What's On Offer
  • Full-time, permanent position with a respected regional employer.
  • Flexible working hours – We support work-life balance with adaptable start/finish times.
  • Work on diverse projects—from custom builds to large-scale structures.
  • Access to advanced equipment: robotics, laser scanning, automation.
  • Career growth as MF&E expands into new technologies and sectors.
  • Great regional lifestyle: affordable living, short commute, close-knit team.
  • Ongoing training & development – Upskill with access to the latest software, tools, and fabrication tech.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) – Confidential support for personal and professional wellbeing.
  • Brand new custom-built workshop – A modern, purpose-designed space to do your best work.
  • Team-focused culture – Join a supportive and skilled group that values collaboration and continuous improvement.
