Job DescriptionThis role is ideal for a designer who enjoys turning engineering requirements into practical, buildable 3D models and supporting fabrication teams throughout construction.
The OpportunityAs a
Mechanical Designer, you will develop detailed 3D models and fabrication drawings for custom process systems. Working from process designs, engineering sketches, P&IDs and specifications, you will produce the models, drawings and bills of material required to build equipment in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.
You'll collaborate closely with process engineers, mechanical engineers, fabrication leads and skilled trades to ensure designs are accurate, buildable and aligned with project requirements.
Key Responsibilities3D Modelling & Detailed Design- Interpret engineering sketches, P&IDs, specifications andclient drawings.
- Develop detailed 3D models of modular process systems usingSolidWorks.
- Use pipe-routing and weldment tools to create accurate, fabrication-readydesigns.
- Prepare fabrication and assembly drawings for equipment, piping andsupport structures.
- Maintain accurate bills of material for purchasing, fabrication andproject control.
- Create or revise AutoCAD drawings when required.
Engineering & Constructability- Perform or verify mechanical design calculations appropriate to theassignment.
- Support stress, strain and thermal analysis using SolidWorksSimulation when required.
- Review layouts for constructability, accessibility, serviceabilityand installation.
- Lead model reviews with engineers and fabrication leads,incorporating required changes.
- Apply sound design practices, applicable codes and projectspecifications.
Fabrication Support & Design Control- Provide timely technical support to engineers and fabricationtrades.
- Coordinate design changes with engineering and project-managementteams.
- Visit the shop floor to confirm fit, resolve questions and ensuredesign intent is achieved.
- Maintain models, drawings and BOMs throughout revisions inaccordance with quality standards.
- Capture lessons learned and improve modelling practices andstandard details.
RequirementsWhat You Bring- Mechanical Engineering Design Technology diploma, MechanicalEngineering degree or equivalent experience.
- Strong SolidWorks 3D-modelling skills, including pipe routing andweldments.
- Experience preparing fabrication drawings, assembly drawings andbills of material.
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD.
- Experience modelling sanitary or pharmaceutical piping is an asset.
- Ability to interpret P&IDs, engineering sketches and mechanicaldrawings.
- Practical understanding of fabrication methods, welding, formedmetal and assembly.
- Experience with SolidWorks Simulation or mechanical analysis is anasset.
