Working as part a factory-based product design team, under the leadership of the Design Team Leader, the Design Technicians play a pivotal role in driving and controlling the Engineering Change Request system as the design evolves.

You will also maximise the flexibility of the design and deal effectively with the increasing requirement for product variety and variations.


Primary Responsibilities:

  • Prepare dimensional drawings and 3D models and produce 2D drawings from 3D models
  • Revise and update existing drawings to reflect changes properly approved the change control process
  • Work with the Director of Engineering and Design Manager to produce and implement guidelines for the design and construction of the product
  • Act as a source of information about the design and the design guidelines for the Operations and product build teams
  • Maintain appropriate issue control management, with documentation and calculations, to show product evolution
  • Advise the Supply Chain team whether changes should be implemented immediately, at given date and how inventory already in the supply chain at a different revision level should be treated
