CAD Draughtsman

Role Overview

You will be responsible for creating, modifying, and managing 3D/2D CAD models using Solid Works, with a specific focus on high‑precision mechanical components, and jet engines. A key part of this role is performing tolerance stack‑up analysis to ensure manufacturability, assembly fit, and reliable product performance, owning the CAD for large assemblies, managing and tracking changes, and creating drawings.

• Develop detailed 3D models and fully‑defined 2D drawings using Solid Works.
• Execute tolerance stack‑up analyses (linear, worst‑case, RSS) to validate designs and ensure robust assembly.
• Apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5) principles to drawings.
• Create BOMs, drawing packages, and revision‑controlled documentation.
• Collaborate with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to optimize part geometry and tolerances.
• Update designs based on engineering changes, test results, and supplier feedback.
• Prepare design review content and support engineering discussions.
• Ensure CAD data is clean, standardized, and follows drafting practices.

• Diploma or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar.
• 5 years of experience as CAD draftsman.
• Strong proficiency in Solid Works 3D modelling and 2D drafting.
• Hands‑on experience with tolerance stack‑up analysis and understanding of GD&T.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, manufacturing methods, and material properties.
• Good understanding of DFM/DFA principles.
• Strong attention to detail and structured documentation habits.

• Experience with PLM systems (Solid Works PLM, Windchill, or similar).
• Familiarity with machining, sheet metal, or plastic part design.
• Basic simulation knowledge.
• Understanding of precision mechanical assemblies or rotating machinery.

• Strong communication skills for cross‑functional collaboration.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Problem‑solving mindset with focus on accuracy and reliability.
• Good time management and ability to meet tight deadlines.
