• Produce detailed fabrication drawings, assembly instructions, and BOMs.
• Conduct design reviews, clash detection, and simulation checks where required.
• Apply sound engineering principles to improve manufacturability and cost efficiency.
• Ensure compliance with company design standards and client specifications.
• Support installation teams with design clarification, redlines, and on-site adjustments.
• Participate in R&D and continuous improvement initiatives for standardization and innovation.

Qualifications:

• BEng / BTech / Diploma in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
• Proficient in SolidWorks (3D modelling, sheet metal, weldments, assemblies, and detailing).
• Experience with industrial or agricultural plant design preferred (e.g. food, nut, or grain processing).
• Familiar with mechanical fabrication, laser cutting, and manufacturing processes.

• Benefits:
• • Company laptop and software licenses.
  • Cell phone allowance.
  • 15 days annual leave
  • Potential for performance bonuses and growth into senior design or project management roles.

Suitable candidate must have Minimum 3â??7 years of mechanical design experience, with at least 3 years focused on plant layout or process system design.
