Network Contracting; Gauteng; On-site; ZAR 360,000 - 540,000; Full time

Job summary

Network Contracting seeks a skilled draughtsperson to develop accurate 3D models, assemblies and 2D manufacturing drawings for insulated doors, frames, panels and related components using Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks.

You will produce full fabrication information, work with doors and engineering teams to improve manufacturability, and integrate thermal-design requirements into envelope details, ensuring quality and consistency across projects.

Qualifications

• Matric / National Senior Certificate with Mathematics or Technical Drawing preferred.
• A recognised diploma or technical qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Draughting, Computer-Aided Draughting, BIM or a closely related field. An N4-N6 engineering qualification combined with a recognised draughting qualification may be considered.
• Minimum 5 years' relevant post-qualification experience in technical draughting/detailing, including demonstrated delivery in both manufacturing/mechanical CAD and building/project BIM environments.
• Demonstrated, portfolio-supported ability in Autodesk Inventor and/or SolidWorks, together with Autodesk Revit. Candidates must be able to work independently in both 3D mechanical CAD and Revit-based BIM/shop-drawing workflows.

Responsibilities

• Develop accurate 3D models, assemblies and 2D manufacturing drawings for insulated doors, frames, panels, hardware interfaces, brackets, profiles and related components using Autodesk Inventor and/or SolidWorks.
• Produce complete fabrication information, including dimensions, tolerances, materials, finishes, weld details, fasteners, cut-outs and assembly requirements.
• Work closely with the doors and engineering teams to resolve design details, improve manufacturability and standardise repeatable components and drawing templates.
• Incorporate approved thermal-design requirements into door and insulated-envelope details, including insulation continuity, thermal bridging, vapour sealing, condensation risk, gaskets and heated components where applicable.
