We’re a small, friendly plastic fabricator in Western Sydney, making high-quality plastic products for industries ranging from medical and food-beverage to mining and nuclear. Established in 1996, we’ve built our reputation on innovative design and staying ahead of the curve.
We need an experienced AutoCAD drafter who can hit the ground running and wants to be part of the whole job, not just the drawing.
What you’ll be doing:
- Preparing 2D AutoCAD drawings for our CNC router, including plastic tank drafting
- Following jobs through to the workshop: checking machine setup and finished work against your drawings
- Taking the initiative to spot problems early and fixing them together with the team
- Estimating jobs from client-supplied drawings
- Assisting with job scheduling and liaising with clients and builders
- Keeping records and documentation up to date
What you’ll need:
- 3+ years’ experience in a relevant drafting or trade role, e.g. tank drafting, plastic fabrication, design, airflow, chemicals, sheet metal, ducting, or similar
- Proficient in AutoCAD, able to produce accurate drawings independently from day one
- Excellent written and verbal communication, and the confidence to speak up and work through problems with the team
- A proactive “doer” attitude: you see an issue and act on it, rather than waiting to be told
- Plastics fabrication or plastic welding background
What matters most to us:
Experience and attitude. We need someone who knows their craft and can work independently, with minimal learning required. This is a hands‑on role: we don’t want someone whose job is done once the drawing is issued. If you’re switched-on, reliable, a clear communicator and happy to get out on the workshop floor, we want to hear from you.
