About the Opportunity
Due to recent growth, Aust-Mech has a new and exciting opportunity for a creative, solutions-focused Lead Mechanical Design Engineer / Draftsman to join their dynamic team in Dalby, QLD.
Working closely with the founder of the company as well as the production team, you'll be responsible for providing engineered solutions to clients' problems by developing concepts and bringing designs into reality, across a broad range of industries, particularly light industrial and agricultural machinery.
Some of your day-to-day responsibilities will include (but will not be limited to):
- Developing and translating mechanical concepts and into general and manufacturing drawings using established drafting principles;
- Liaising with the production shop to ensure the efficient and high quality manufacture of products;
- Contributing to the ongoing development of Aust-Mech's existing product range; and

You'll also require proven and extensive experience using CAD software, preferably Solidworks.
Importantly, you will have the demonstrated ability and experience to put your own concepts into action. This is a hands-on role, so you'll also need a strong level of mechanical competence and creativity, as well as the practical skills required in an engineering and manufacturing environment.
While not essential, qualifications in Mechanical Engineering will be highly regarded.
