About the Role

This new role in our growing business is perfect for a self-starter who thrives on variety.

Far more than traditional drafting, you'll work primarily within our Workshop division, bringing together practical hands-on experience with technical design expertise across a wide range of mining equipment, mechanical designs, products and projects.

This unique opportunity will provide the selected candidate the chance to collaborate with the other divisions of FMS Group and gain a broad wealth of experience in the mining sector.

Utilise skills working within the Workshop team to refine your design & technical capability working on:

• 2D and 3D CAD packages
• Drafting
• Mechanical design
• Reverse engineering
• Stakeholder communication
• Understanding and applying relevant Australian Standards

Working within the team you will undertake a variety of activities to support the division.  
Key activities you may be involved in:

•  Playing a key role in heavy mining equipment refurbishment projects covering excavators, draglines, loaders, rope shovels, dozer blades, booms, and sticks using 3D scanning and CAD. Reverse‑engineering worn or damaged components for the purpose of accurate re‑manufacture, ensuring compliance with Australian Standards and internal quality requirements.
•  Travelling to mine sites as required to gather measurements, assess job scope, and support accurate project planning. Work directly with tradespeople on the floor, solving problems and occasionally getting hands on measuring and marking.
• Support production managers with timeline solutions, consult with business development on new opportunities, support estimators, and collaborate with engineering teams to transform designs into manufacturable products.
• Procure materials, cost control, and coordinate with subcontractors to navigate technical challenges.
• Contribute to production and safety meetings, recommend equipment investments, and drive continuous process improvement.

This diverse exposure to engineering, estimating, and project planning will accelerate your career development while building the broad experience critical to long-term success. Join our fast-paced, high-performing team to achieve outstanding results.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is motivated, curious, and ready to grow. While prior drafting or design experience is preferred, we can provide structured training to upskill the successful applicant. This role may be an excellent opportunity for candidates with a trade background who are looking to transition into the design and drafting space.

You’ll be a great fit if you bring:

• Qualifications in drafting and solid modelling, ideally with 3 years’ experience, though motivated candidates with or developing skills, particularly from trade backgrounds will be strongly considered.
• General computer skills, such as word processing and spreadsheets with preferably CAD software familiarity (ideally Inventor).
• Hands‑on trade experience, particularly in Boilermaking or similar mechanical trades (highly advantageous and well‑suited to this transition pathway).
• Exposure to or interest in 3D scanning technologies (highly advantageous, with training provided).
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with internal teams, clients, and external stakeholders.
• An understanding of mine site practices, Mine Design Guidelines, Australian and New Zealand Engineering Standards, and ISO Quality Standards (including ISO 9001) — or a willingness to learn these through on‑the‑job training.

Why Join Us?

Not only will you receive a competitive wage, we also have great employee benefits on offer, such as:

• Monthly RDO
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
