• Automating repetitive design tasks through customised tools in CAD and Excel
• Liaising directly with clients to understand requirements and adapt designs to suit
• Preparing design layouts, specifications, bills of quantities and materials lists
• Carrying out factory inspections and liaising with suppliers, clients and engineers through design, construction and commissioning
• Supporting the technical side of quotations and technical documentation

• Approximately 3 years’ experience as a switchboard designer or assembler, plus around 1 year of project engineering exposure
• Advanced AutoCAD skills — this is your core tool day to day
• Working knowledge of SolidWorks and the Microsoft Office suite
• Sound understanding of relevant Australian Standards and document control processes
• Exposure to Okken, Moducell or custom-built assemblies will put you ahead of the pack
• A collaborative, professional approach — you’ll be working closely with electrical, structural, mechanical and project engineering teams

What’s On Offer

• Circa $100,000 + superannuation
• Permanent, full-time position — stability and a consistent roster
