Job description

At Randstad, we are proud to partner with a premier Australian manufacturing leader to find a talented Electrical / AutoCAD Design Drafter to bring innovative power distribution and control systems to life.

If you enjoy seeing your 2D designs turn into tangible, high-spec industrial equipment on the factory floor, this role puts you right at the heart of the action.

What Makes This Opportunity Exciting?

You won’t just be sitting behind a screen updating redlines in isolation. In this role, you will be a core technical contributor working side-by-side with Design Leads, Senior Project Managers, and shop-floor manufacturing technicians. You will see your concepts progress from initial schematics to fully assembled, tested switchboards powering major infrastructure and industrial projects across Australia.

What You Will Do

• Design from Concept to Reality: Develop complete drawing packages from early concept layouts through to final Issue for Construction (IFC).
• Detailed Manufacturing Packages: Produce accurate mechanical layouts, single-line schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical fabrication documentation.
• Hands-on Collaboration: Partner directly with the workshop and assembly teams to troubleshoot design challenges and ensure every panel is practical and fit for manufacture.
• Quality & Compliance: Apply Australian Standards and project specifications to deliver compliant, high-quality, and cost-effective designs.
• Lifecycle Ownership: Manage revisions, engineering change orders (ECOs), and drawing registers across dynamic project timelines.

What We Are Looking For

• 2–5 years of AutoCAD drafting experience, ideally within an electrical, control systems, or manufacturing setting.
• Familiarity with Low Voltage (LV) switchboards, control panels, or power distribution is a bonus, but not essential—attitude and strong foundational CAD drafting skills come first.
• A practical, problem-solving mindset with a sharp eye for drafting accuracy and detail.
• Strong communication skills and enthusiasm for collaborating with workshop and engineering teams alike.

At Randstad, we are passionate about providing equal employment opportunities and embracing diversity to the benefit of all. We actively encourage applications from any background.
