• Produce GA drawings, fabrication drawings, BOMs, MTOs, weld details, and workshop-ready drawing packs.
• Support piping layouts, isometrics, equipment layouts, and technical documentation where required.
• Support design-for-manufacture, making sure equipment can be fabricated, lifted, transported, and installed efficiently.
• Respond to workshop feedback, design changes, RFIs, and practical fabrication issues during the build.
• Ensure designs are accurate, compliant, and aligned with relevant Australian Standards.

About You & what's on offer:

• 10 years of relevant experience as a Design Engineer.
• $110 to $130k + Super.
