Job Description
Draughtsman – Mechanical Design (2D CAD / Fabrication)
Location: East Midlands (commutable from Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Mansfield, Newark)
Salary: £30,000 – £40,000 (depending on experience)
Job Type: Permanent, Full-Time
Are you a Mechanical Design Draughtsperson looking to work on bespoke, technically varied engineering projects within a specialist team? Do you enjoy taking a concept and tailoring it to fit real-world customer specifications?
We’re working with an established manufacturing business that specialises in the design and build of safety-critical engineering solutions. Due to a recent internal move, the business is now looking to appoint a Draughtsman to join its design team, supporting on a range of customer-led projects from start to finish.
The Role:
This is not a high-volume drawing office – the work is project-based, hands-on, and varied. You’ll take standard products and reconfigure them based on each client's needs, often liaising with internal production teams and occasionally attending customer sites to assess requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
*
Producing detailed 2D mechanical drawings using Autodesk Inventor
*
Modifying and adapting existing product designs for bespoke projects
*
Creating material and component lists (BOMs)
*
Collaborating with production during the build phase
*
Engaging directly with customers to resolve design challenges
*
Occasional site visits to review specifications and installations
What We’re Looking For:
*
A background in mechanical engineering (degree, HND/HNC or apprenticeship)
*
1–2 years' experience in a similar mechanical design/draughting role
*
Proficiency in Autodesk Inventor or similar 2D CAD software
*
Good understanding of fabrication, steelwork, or structural design
*
Excellent communication skills and a proactive, solutions-focused mindset
Desirable (but not essential):
*
Experience working in regulated sectors such as rail, infrastructure, or defence
*
Exposure to client-facing or site-based work
*
Understanding of product lifecycle from design through to manufacture
What’s on Offer:
* Competitive salary between £30,000 – £40,000 (depending on experience)
* Monday to Thursday: 07:45 – 16:30, Friday finish at 14:30
* Supportive, collaborative team environment with modern offices
* Opportunities for development within a long-established and growing business
* Buy and Sell holidays
* 28 days holidays rising to 32 with service
* Development and safety training certificates
