Mechanical Design Draftsperson (10+ years) - Heavy Machining & Fabrication

IDEAS Carbon Engineering Pty Ltd - Melbourne VIC

Location: Melbourne-based; on-site workshop. Flexible arrangements considered (contract, permanent, or intermediate arrangements). Occasional travel to client site as required.

About us: We are a small, specialist group delivering a brand-new technology in the carbon sector. You'll be supported by a team with 20+ years of experience to guide and help drive successful outcomes.

Role overview: As a Mechanical Design Draftsperson, you will lead detail design and documentation for large industrial equipment, with a strong emphasis on heavy machining and fabrication. The project involves translating concepts into practical, manufacturable designs and delivering detailed drawings and welding documentation to support fabrication in our workshop and with external partners.

Key responsibilities

  • Produce detailed 3D models and manufacturing drawings using Autodesk Inventor (3D modelling and detailing).
  • Develop welding details, weld maps, and weld procedure references aligned with project standards.
  • Ensure designs meet AS 1210 (Pressure vessels) and AS 1554 (Welding) requirements; apply relevant standards in practice.
  • Specify and document material requirements, tolerances, surface finishes, and fabrication sequences.
  • Collaborate with mechanical engineers, fabrication shops, and procurement to maintain schedule and budget.
  • Perform design reviews, tolerance analysis, and design-for-manufacture/assembly assessments.
  • Support hot processing equipment concepts and related safety/compliance considerations.
  • Maintain accurate BOMs, assemblies, and change-control records; manage CAD data and documentation.

What you'll bring (essential)

  • 10+ years of mechanical design/drafting experience in heavy machining and large-scale fabrication.
  • Strong understanding of welding details and specifications; familiarity with AS 1210 and AS 1554.
  • Experience with hot processing equipment is highly favorable.
  • Proficiency in Autodesk Inventor (3D modelling and detailing).
  • Ability to read and interpret complex fabrication drawings and to translate concepts into actionable designs.
  • Excellent communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.
  • Self-motivated, hardworking, and able to thrive in a small, focused team.

Nice to have

  • Experience in the carbon sector or with carbon-based technology.
  • Prior exposure to projects with multidisciplinary teams and tight timelines.

Employment type: We're open to contract, permanent, or intermediate arrangements. The right candidate will have clarity on the work type and duration up front.

Engaging, high-impact work on a ground-breaking technology

Collaborative, experienced team with strong mentorship

Competitive compensation package and flexible working arrangements

Opportunity to influence the direction of a pivotal project in a niche field
