SUMMARY:

Senior Draughtsman

Mining & Mineral Processing Engineering
Some drawings build structures.
Others build industries.
Behind every successful processing plant, every conveyor system, every structural steel installation, and every piece of engineered equipment is a Draughtsman who can see the finished solution long before the first steel plate is cut.
We're looking for a Senior Draughtsman who understands that exceptional drafting is more than producing drawings. It's about transforming engineering concepts into practical, buildable solutions that perform in some of the world's toughest operating environments.
This opportunity is with a specialist engineering consultancy delivering projects across the mining and mineral processing sector. Their work spans materials handling systems, process plants, structural steelwork, mechanical equipment, and brownfield and greenfield project environments.
You'll become part of a team where technical excellence is expected, innovation is encouraged, and your expertise directly influences the success of major engineering projects.

POSITION INFO:

What You'll Be Doing

Producing detailed mechanical, structural, and plant layout drawings for mining and mineral processing projects.
Developing General Arrangements, fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, and manufacturing detail drawings.
Creating and maintaining accurate 3D models and engineering documentation.
Collaborating with engineers, project managers, and clients to deliver practical and efficient design solutions.
Reviewing drawings and ensuring compliance with project standards and quality requirements.
Managing drawing revisions and maintaining document control throughout project lifecycles.
Providing technical support during fabrication, construction, and installation phases.
Mentoring junior draughting personnel and contributing to continuous improvement within the design team.

What We're Looking For

National Diploma or relevant qualification in Draughting, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
Minimum 8 years of draughting experience within mining, mineral processing, heavy industrial, or materials handling environments.
Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and 3D modelling software such as Inventor, SolidWorks, Plant 3D, or similar.
Strong understanding of structural steelwork, mechanical equipment, piping systems, conveyors, chutes, tanks, and process plant layouts.
Experience producing fabrication and manufacturing drawings for industrial projects.
A self-starter capable of managing multiple projects while maintaining exceptional quality standards.

The Ideal Candidate

You don't simply draft what others design.
You challenge assumptions, identify clashes before they become site problems, and understand the practical realities of fabrication and installation. You are technically strong, solutions-driven, and take pride in producing work that engineers, fabricators, and clients can rely on.
If you're looking for a role where your experience will be valued, your technical ability respected, and your contribution visible on major mining and mineral processing projects, we'd like to hear from you.
