Full Job Description
Job Description
This role is ideal for a designer who enjoys turning engineering requirements into practical, buildable 3D models and supporting fabrication teams throughout construction.

The Opportunity

As 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 Responsibilities

3D 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.

Requirements

What 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.
