SEB Engineering – Draftsman Requirement

A Design Draftsman in a firm focused on manufacturing, engineering, education, and consultancy in the welding and fabrication industry plays a crucial role in translating concepts into technical drawings and blueprints.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Technical Drawing & Drafting
   • • Create detailed 2D and 3D CAD drawings for welding and fabrication projects.
     • Prepare blueprints, schematics, and technical illustrations for metal structures, machinery, and components.
     • Ensure drawings comply with engineering standards, welding codes (AWS, ISO), and fabrication best practices.
2. Collaboration with Engineers & Fabricators
   • Work closely with engineers and production teams to develop accurate and practical designs.
   • Interpret specifications from engineers and convert them into fabrication-ready drawings.
   • Communicate design intent to welders, fabricators, and workshop technicians.
3. Product & Component Design
   • Design metal structures, industrial machinery, piping systems, and welding jigs/fixtures.
   • Modify and improve existing designs to enhance efficiency, reduce material waste, and optimize welding processes.
   • Develop prototypes and assist in testing new designs.
4. Material & Process Selection
   • Specify materials (metals, alloys) and welding processes in design drawings.
   • Consider welding techniques such as MIG, TIG, and arc welding in design requirements.
   • Ensure designs minimize distortion, stress concentration, and welding defects.
5. Documentation & Compliance
   • Maintain an organized library of design documents, CAD files, and revision histories.
   • Ensure designs adhere to industry regulations (ISO, ASME, AWS, OSHA).
   • Prepare technical documentation, fabrication guides, and Bills of Materials (BOMs).
6. Training & Education Support
   • Assist in developing training materials, welding guides, and educational resources.
   • Support educational programs by creating illustrative diagrams for welding courses.
   • Train junior drafters and technicians on CAD software and industry standards.
7. Quality Control & Design Optimization
   • Conduct design reviews to identify and correct potential issues before fabrication.
   • Improve drawings to reduce production errors, costs, and rework.
   • Collaborate with quality control teams to ensure precision and compliance.
8. Research & Development (R&D)
   • Stay updated on welding technologies, fabrication trends, and CAD software advancements.
   • Participate in product development and process improvement initiatives.
   • Experiment with new materials, welding techniques, and structural designs.
9. Site & Workshop Coordination
   • Visit fabrication workshops or construction sites to verify drawing accuracy.
   • Provide onsite support to interpret technical drawings.
   • Assist in resolving design challenges during welding and assembly.
10. Software & Tools Proficiency
    • Use AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Creo Parametric Design, Inventor, Tekla Structures, or other CAD software for drafting.
    • Work with CNC programming.
