We're currently looking for an experienced Solid Works Draughtsman to join a specialist engineering team on an initial rolling one-month contract, with the potential for longer-term work as projects develop.
This role will be focused on producing high-quality 3D models and manufacturing drawings using Solid Works for industrial steelwork, including platforms, stairs and handrails.

Proven experience using Solid Works for modelling and detailing.
Experience producing fabrication/manufacturing drawings.
Previous work on steel structures, platforms, staircases, handrails or similar industrial projects.
Minimum HNC in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).
Able to attend meetings and workshop visits in Sheffield when required.
