Mechanical Draughtsperson in Fife

Draughtsperson | Fife | Permanent | £35,000 to £42,000 This drawing office has done things the same way for a long time. They want someone to change that. My client designs and builds complex, made to order industrial equipment for customers all over the world. New builds and repairs, each one engineered to the customer's own specification. The order book is healthy and the engineering team is busy. They're now looking for a SolidWorks Draughtsperson to join them in Fife on a permanent basis. And this is where it gets interesting. You won't just be producing drawings. You'll be helping bring the drawing office into the modern era. That means building smarter SolidWorks models with global variables and configurations, so new designs need minimal input to generate. It means developing the PDM system that sits alongside SolidWorks. And it means bringing fresh thinking on design for manufacture and current standards. If you've ever looked at a process and thought “there's a better way of doing this”, here's your chance to prove it. What you'll be doing: Producing 3D models, outline drawings and component detail drawings Creating electrical wiring diagrams and panel layout drawings Drawing mounting plates, drill plans and assemblies Producing bills of materials and full documentation packs for manufacture, service and repair Automating designs using SolidWorks global variables and configurations Developing and improving the PDM system Updating departmental drawing standards and procedures Retrieving legacy drawings in response to customer requests You'll work closely with the design engineers and support new product development too. What you'll need: Strong SolidWorks skills, particularly global variables, configurations and PDM Good problem solving ability and the initiative to run with ideas Solid IT skills An open mind, with no fixed ideas about how things should be done Confidence, character and a willingness to learn Experience level isn't a deciding factor. Whether you're early in your career or have years behind you, you'll be considered on exactly the same footing. What matters is how good you are with SolidWorks and what you'd bring. Personality matters here as much as CAD. What's in it for you: 37 hour week with flexible hours 33 days holiday including bank holidays Overtime available Company pension and life insurance Training and development If you want a role where you'll be trusted to modernise how things are done, not just keep the lights on, I'd like to hear from you.
