Intermediate​/Senior Mechanical Design Technologist, Hybrid

About The Opportunity

LRO Staffing is proudly partnered with an Ottawa-based organization looking for several hands‑on Intermediate or Senior Mechanical Design Technologists to support the design of complex, custom‑engineered mechanical systems used in demanding industrial testing environments.

This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys detailed mechanical design work, not just high‑level engineering review. You will be creating practical, buildable design packages for custom equipment, fabricated structures, assemblies, and facility/equipment layouts.

The ideal person is comfortable moving between 3D models, 2D drawings, GD&T, fabrication requirements, vendor input, and real‑world installation considerations.

• Create detailed 3D models and 2D drawings for custom mechanical systems, assemblies, structures, and components
• Produce accurate manufacturing, machining, welding, fabrication, and mechanical assembly drawings
• Apply strong GD&T and ASME Y14.5 principles to ensure drawings are clear, accurate, and production‑ready
• Support machine design, structural design, welded design, and large‑scale fabrication requirements
• Prepare and refine facility, plant, and equipment layout drawings, considering space, access, installation, and maintainability
• Collaborate with engineers, vendors, manufacturing teams, and installation stakeholders to resolve design issues and improve buildability

• 6+ years of hands‑on mechanical design experience, ideally in roles such as Mechanical Designer, Mechanical Design Technologist, Machine Designer, or Mechanical CAD Designer
• Highly proficient with Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD, with experience using Vault or similar file‑management tools
• Strong experience with GD&T, ASME Y14.5, detail drawings, assembly drawings, and production‑ready drawing packages
• Designed custom equipment, industrial systems, fabricated structures, welded assemblies, or special‑purpose machinery
• Understanding of practical manufacturing methods, including welding, machining, forming, fabrication, and assembly
• Comfortable working with technical teams, reviewing designs, supporting vendors, and troubleshooting design issues during manufacturing or installation
• Nice to Have:
  Plant 3D, Revit, hydraulic/pneumatic systems, static structural stress analysis, mentoring, peer‑reviewing, or on‑site troubleshooting would be considered an asset

• Full‑time, 1‑Year contract, Hybrid
• Several positions available. Start ASAP
• $50.00 to $65.00/hr+ depending on experience
