We design and manufacture custom conveyors, material-handling equipment, machine guarding, platforms, and other industrial equipment. This position is suited to someone who enjoys taking a project from an initial concept through detailed design, fabrication, assembly, and installation.

The successful candidate must understand that good design goes beyond creating a model in SolidWorks. We are looking for someone who considers how components will be manufactured, assembled, installed, maintained, and used in the real world.

Develop concepts and detailed designs for custom industrial equipment
Create 3D models, fabrication drawings, assemblies, and bills of materials using SolidWorks
Design conveyors, guarding, frames, platforms, and mechanical assemblies

Work directly with customers, suppliers, fabricators, and installers
Visit customer sites to take measurements and gather project information

Support, purchasing, fabrication, assembly, and installation
Review designs for manufacturability, serviceability, safety, and cost
Revise drawings and designs based on production and customer feedback
Help improve our products, standards, and internal design processes

Strong working knowledge of SolidWorks
Mechanical engineering degree, engineering technology diploma, or equivalent practical experience
Hands-on experience in manufacturing, fabrication, machining, welding, assembly, or industrial maintenance
Ability to create clear and accurate manufacturing drawings
Understanding of mechanical components, materials, tolerances, and fabrication methods
Strong problem-solving and organizational skills
Ability to manage multiple projects and changing priorities
Able to communicate effectively with customers and shop-floor employees
Valid driver’s licence and ability to attend local customer sites
Clear and strong verbal communication skills

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a practical designer who is comfortable both at a computer and knowledge of the the shop floor. They take ownership of their work, ask good questions, and look for simple, reliable, and cost-effective solutions.

A willingness to learn is expected, but we are looking for someone who can bring useful mechanical, manufacturing, or SolidWorks experience to the team from day one. Experience with lean manufacturing, process improvement, conveyors, automation, or custom equipment would be an asset.
