* Work across food processing equipment and associated machinery
* Ensure structural feasibility of designs, including load considerations, supports, and mounting systems
* Collaborate with engineers to validate designs and resolve technical challenges
* Liaise with engineering, production, and site teams
* Support projects from concept through to fabrication and installation
* Ensure designs are compliant, efficient, and practical to manufacture
About You
* Strong experience as a Mechanical Drafter / Designer within industrial or project environments
* Proven background working with conveyors and/or food processing equipment
* Good understanding of structural principles related to frames, supports, and mechanical assemblies
* Ability to produce designs that are both functional and structurally sound
