Job description

Position: Mechanical & Electrical Drafter

Salary: Php 65,000 to Php 75,000/monthly

Working Hours & Conditions: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM Queensland Time and Australian Holidays

Employment: Full Time - Independent Contractor

ABOUT THE COMPANY:

The company is a dynamic, growth-oriented industry provider delivering specialized engineering and manufacturing solutions. Committed to precision, quality, and operational excellence, we partner closely with our clients to produce robust electrical and mechanical systems tailored to meet stringent performance benchmarks.

ROLE OVERVIEW:

We are seeking a detail-driven and highly proficient Mechanical & Electrical Drafter to join our team on a full-time, independent contractor basis. In this role, you will be responsible for creating, refining, and maintaining high-precision 2D and 3D manufacturing drawings for electrical cabinets, switchboards, and related assemblies.

Working in direct alignment with our core engineering operations during Australian business hours, the ideal candidate brings strong technical acumen, exceptional drafting speed and accuracy, and a proactive mindset toward design integrity and document control.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Manufacturing Drafting: Produce precise, manufacture-ready electrical cabinet and switchboard drawings, including General Arrangement (GA) drawings, Single-Line Diagrams (SLDs), schematic diagrams, panel layouts, termination diagrams, and cable schedules.

• Design Interpretation & Development: Accurately interpret client-supplied design inputs, specifications, sketches, legacy drawings, and equipment lists/BOMs to develop comprehensive technical drawings.

• Mechanical & Practical Layout Design: Design functional cabinet layouts, cable management systems, DIN rail configurations, and component clearances with practical manufacturing and assembly constraints in mind.

• Quality Assurance & Verification: Perform meticulous self-checks on all drafting outputs—verifying dimensions, component part numbers, quantities, ratings, wire tagging, and drawing revisions before release.

• Standards & Document Control: Strictly adhere to relevant Australian Standards (AS/NZS) while maintaining standard drawing templates, title blocks, drawing registers, sheet numbering, and formal revision workflows.

• Experience: Minimum of 2+ years of professional drafting experience in a mechanical/electrical manufacturing, switchboard, or control panel environment.

• CAD Software Proficiency: Demonstrated proficiency with AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, and SolidWorks.

• Modeling Skills: Competent in both 2D drafting and 3D parametric modeling.

• Technical Knowledge: Solid working knowledge of electrical components (switchgear, relays, PLCs, terminals), wiring architecture, and cabinet fabrication principles.

• Compliance: Working understanding of relevant Australian Standards (AS/NZS) applicable to electrical switchboards and control assemblies.

• Work Arrangement: Dedicated home office setup with a high-speed, reliable internet connection capable of supporting remote CAD workflows, and full availability to overlap 100% with Queensland business hours (8:00 AM – 4:00 PM AEST).
  Preferred

• Prior experience working remotely with Australian-based engineering or fabrication teams.

• Formal qualification or diploma in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Drafting, or a related technical discipline.

• Experience generating automated Bills of Materials (BOMs) and wire run lists directly within CAD environments.
  What You’ll Bring

• High Accuracy & Speed: A sharp eye for detail that minimizes revision cycles and catches dimensional or schematic discrepancies early.

• Proactive Communication: The confidence to flag ambiguities, request missing data early, and communicate technical updates clearly across the team.

• Independent Execution: The ability to manage competing priorities, adhere to strict delivery schedules, and operate effectively with minimal day-to-day supervision.

• Continuous Improvement Mindset: A methodical, organized approach with an active interest in refining drawing standards and suggesting practical assembly improvements.
