  • Apply sound design practices, applicable codes and project specifications.

Fabrication Support & Design Control

  • Provide timely technical support to engineers and fabrication trades.
  • Coordinate design changes with engineering and project‑management teams.
  • Visit the shop floor to confirm fit, resolve questions and ensure design intent is achieved.
  • Maintain models, drawings and BOMs throughout revisions in accordance with quality standards.
  • Capture lessons learned and improve modelling practices and standard details.

Requirements

What You Bring

  • Mechanical Engineering Design Technology diploma, Mechanical Engineering degree or equivalent experience.
  • Strong SolidWorks 3D‑modelling skills, including pipe routing and weldments.
  • Experience preparing fabrication drawings, assembly drawings and bills of material.
  • Working knowledge of AutoCAD.
  • Experience modelling sanitary or pharmaceutical piping is an asset.
  • Ability to interpret P&IDs, engineering sketches and mechanical drawings.
