Minimum of 2 – 4 years experience working as a Mechanical Design Draughtsman Inventor & AutoCAD is a pre-recqisite National Diploma in Mechanical Engineering / Multidisciplinary Draughting Certificate & Grade 12 Ability to understand and produce technical drawings. Proficiency in Inventor and AutoCAD drawing packages. A proven track record in a shop floor environment or similar Ability to manage and schedule drawing projects to meet delivery dates. Other skills: Ability to interpret and apply engineering standards. Exposure to a manufacturing environment. Ability to perform simple mechanical calculations. Computer literacy in MS Office packages. Experience with ERP/BOM systems would be an advantage.

Qualification Matric Professional Certificate in Mechanical Draughting Requirements 5 Years’ experience in Draughting Mechanical Engineering and fabricated knowledge and background Strong experience on Autodesk programs (Vault, Inventor and AutoCAD, 2D & 3D) Attention to detail Good understanding of drawings and standards Understand measuring equipment and how they are used Understand the fundamentals of tolerances, geometrical tolerances, machining symbols, and welding symbols on drawings and know how to model and do assemblies in Inventor Duties Existing components must be reverse engineered to almost perfect accuracy for modelling and interference checking purposes. Existing components must be modelled from measurements and in the case of missing components, new components must be created to fit the rest of the existing components. After components are modelled, assemblies are created to fit existing &/or new components together and check if all components fit as should. Components that require modification and new components must be detailed out in detail for manufacturing. The draftsman has a responsibility to check their own drawings and make sure the drawing is according to Company Standard and has all relevant sizes and notes.

Skills and Competencies: Proficient in Autodesk Inventor and other CAD software. Strong understanding of mechanical design principles and engineering drawings. Hands-on and technically minded with excellent attention to detail. Ability to interpret complex drawings and technical documentation. Strong organizational and file management skills (including expert knowledge of CSS and technical file structures). Good communication and teamwork abilities. Problem-solving mindset with a focus on accuracy and efficiency. Key Responsibilities: Develop detailed 2D and 3D mechanical drawings and assemblies using Autodesk Inventor. Work closely with engineers and production teams to translate design concepts into practical and manufacturable drawings. Create and maintain drawing files, technical documentation, and design libraries (including CSS file management). Review and update existing designs to improve functionality, manufacturability, and efficiency. Ensure all drawings comply with industry standards, company specifications, and quality requirements. Provide technical support during the production and assembly stages. Participate in design reviews and provide constructive input for design improvement.
