Design Detailer / CAD Technician

Location: Ystrad Mynach, South Wales
Contract: Ad hoc / ongoing work with potential to become permanent

Sphere Solutions are currently recruiting for an experienced Design Detailer / CAD Technician to work with a specialist fabrication and engineering contractor based in Ystrad Mynach.

Our client designs, manufactures and installs bespoke steel fabrication solutions across the water, utilities, industrial and commercial sectors, including access platforms, stairways, walkways, structural steelwork, pipework systems and small steel-framed buildings.

This is initially an ad hoc requirement, with the potential to develop into a permanent position for the right individual.

The Role

Working closely with the contracts, production and installation teams, you will produce accurate fabrication and manufacturing drawings for a variety of bespoke engineering projects.

Using SolidWorks, you will develop 3D models and detailed fabrication drawings, helping to take projects from initial design and enquiry through manufacture and installation.

Responsibilities will include:

• Producing detailed 3D models and engineering drawings using SolidWorks

• Preparing fabrication and manufacturing drawings for structural and bespoke steelwork

• Detailing access platforms, staircases, walkways and handrailing systems

• Producing drawings for small steel-framed buildings and structures

• Detailing process and utility pipework

• Producing bills of materials, cutting lists and assembly drawings

• Liaising with clients, Project Managers, workshop and installation teams

• Reviewing designs for manufacturability and cost-effective production

• Interpreting technical specifications and client requirements

• Carrying out site surveys and measurements where required

• Ensuring designs meet relevant industry standards

• Supporting projects from enquiry through to manufacture and installation

What We''re Looking For

SolidWorks experience is essential, along with previous experience producing detailed fabrication drawings within a relevant engineering environment.

Ideally, you will have experience in one or more of the following:

• Steel fabrication

• Structural steelwork

• Process or utility pipework

• Mechanical assemblies

• Access platforms, staircases and walkways

• Water or utilities projects

• Welding and fabrication processes

Experience with AutoCAD, site surveys, BS EN standards and WIMES 9.02 specifications would also be advantageous.

An HNC/HND or similar qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Design Engineering or a related discipline would be beneficial but is not essential where suitable industry experience can be demonstrated.

The Opportunity

This position would suit an experienced Detailer or CAD Technician who enjoys seeing projects progress from the initial design stage through to fabrication and installation.

The role is initially offered on an ad hoc basis, with the potential to develop into a permanent position as the workload progresses.
