Mechanical Draftsperson; Fabrication & Manufacturing - Work from home

The Draftsperson supports the design and drafting requirements of a growing fabrication environment, with a focus on producing accurate technical drawings and machine-ready files for workshop production. This role is responsible for preparing DXF, DWG, and STEP files for flat plate and tube laser applications, ensuring outputs are accurate, practical, and aligned with specific machine requirements and workshop processes.

• Prepare detailed technical drawings and machine-ready files for fabrication and workshop production.
• Generate DXF or DWG files for plate laser cutting requirements.
• Generate STEP files for tube laser cutting requirements using suitable 3D modelling software.
• Ensure STEP files for tube laser work are created as individual components rather than assemblies.
• Align tube models to one of the 3D coordinate system axes (X, Y, or Z) to ensure correct machine section generation.
• Interpret technical specifications, dimensions, and production requirements to create accurate drafting outputs.
• Support drafting requirements associated with new workshop machinery, including tube bevel laser and flatbed laser equipment.
• Update and revise drawings in line with workshop, production, and stakeholder feedback.
• Maintain organised drawing files, revisions, and technical documentation.
• Liaise with workshop and operational teams to ensure drawings and files are fit for purpose and production ready.
• Support continuous improvement of drafting templates, file preparation standards, and production workflows.
• Other position-level duties as they arise.
