Dawes Point NSW, Australia BIRDON Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year

Birdon is an Australian-owned marine engineering and shipbuilding company delivering innovative solutions to defence, commercial, and government clients globally. With facilities in Australia and the United States, we continue to expand our capability and invest in people who drive improvement and excellence.

This is not a design or drafting role. Instead, this position focuses on CAD systems administration, standards, workflows, data structures, and user support. You will play a central role in maintaining consistency and efficiency across our digital drafting environment, supporting both the design and production teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, maintain, and administer company-wide CAD standards, templates, and libraries
  • Coordinate drafting workflows across multi-site teams
  • Maintain CAD environments, including libraries, stock/equipment databases, and workshare/sandbox setups
  • Oversee modelling workflows and file structures (naming conventions, X-Refs, version control)
  • Support onboarding, training, and day-to-day CAD troubleshooting
  • Create, document, and improve procedures and processes
  • Assist with ongoing improvements to systems, processes, and digital workflows
  • Promote best-practice CAD use across design and production teams

Essential

  • Experience with AutoCAD
  • Background developing or managing CAD standards, templates, and documentation systems
  • Experience writing and preparing procedures, workflows, and process documentation
  • Good understanding of drafting / modelling principles in shipbuilding, heavy industry, or similar
  • Familiarity with Navisworks
  • Strong communication and organisational skills

Desirable

  • Experience with AutoCAD Plant and SolidWorks
  • Experience with ShipConstructor (training provided if needed)
  • Exposure to scripting or automation in CAD tools
  • Understanding of API (Application Programming Interface) integration or workflow development
  • Experience managing X-Refs and large drawing sets
  • Familiarity with Australian shipbuilding or heavy fabrication practices
  • Knowledge of LR, DNV DEFAUST, and ASME standards

Why This Role Matters

As our project workload expands, consistent digital workflow is vital. This role ensures that our teams across different states and time zones work from the same standards, data structures, and documentation practices.

You'll help:

  • Reduce rework
  • Improve clarity and consistency
  • Support production and design teams
    Streamline how CAD is managed and shared

This role is about systems, quality, and efficiency — not producing drawings.

Why Join Us?

  • Help shape the future of CAD systems across Birdon
  • Work within a collaborative and experienced design and production team
  • Play a meaningful role in major marine & defence programs
  • Opportunity for process ownership and continuous improvement
  • Flexible location — based in Sydney or Port Macquarie or Perth
  • Career growth in a growing organisation

Benefits:

  • EAP
  • Onsite Parking
  • Competitive salary
  • Flexible working environment
  • Professional development
  • Opportunity for career progression

If you enjoy improving digital workflows, supporting users, and building better CAD systems we'd love to hear from you

As an equal opportunity employer, all positions are open to any person that may have the required characteristics and experiences. Veterans are encouraged to apply.

Shortlisting will commence Tuesday,16 December 2025.
