MECHANICAL ENGINEER

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

 Stainless Steel Fabrication and Welding

• Carry out stainless steel fabrication, including cutting, measuring, marking, bending, grinding, and assembling metal components.
• Perform TIG welding on stainless steel and other compatible metals, ensuring strong, clean, and precise weld joints.
• Polish, grind, and finish fabricated products to achieve the required surface quality and specifications.
• Select appropriate welding consumables, tools, and equipment for different fabrication tasks.
• Minimise material wastage and welding defects through proper fabrication techniques.

 Technical Drawing and Engineering Interpretation

• Read, interpret, and work from engineering drawings, blueprints, sketches, and fabrication specifications.
• Take accurate measurements and ensure fabricated components meet specified dimensions and tolerances.
• Translate technical drawings into practical fabrication steps and production requirements.
• Identify discrepancies in drawings or specifications and seek clarification from the relevant supervisor.
• Assist in preparing cutting lists, fabrication layouts, and material requirements.

 Production and Assembly

• Fabricate, fit, and assemble stainless steel structures, mechanical components, frames, and other metal products.
• Ensure fabricated components fit correctly and meet required functional and dimensional specifications.
• Collaborate with production staff, welders, and supervisors to complete projects within agreed timelines.
• Monitor material usage and minimise offcuts, rework, and unnecessary wastage.
• Recommend improvements to fabrication methods and workshop processes to enhance productivity.

Quality Control and Inspection

• Inspect fabricated components and welded joints to ensure compliance with approved drawings and quality standards.
• Check dimensions, alignment, weld quality, and surface finishes before products proceed to the next production stage.
• Identify fabrication defects and carry out necessary corrections or rework.
• Maintain consistent workmanship, precision, and quality across all assigned projects.
• Report recurring quality issues and recommend corrective measures to prevent defects.

Equipment Maintenance, Safety, and Workshop Management

• Operate welding machines, grinders, cutting tools, drilling machines, and other fabrication equipment safely.
• Conduct routine checks on workshop tools and machinery, reporting faults and maintenance requirements promptly.
• Maintain a clean, organised, and safe working environment, ensuring tools and materials are properly stored.
• Adhere to workplace health and safety procedures and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Follow welding safety, fire prevention, ventilation, and safe material-handling procedures at all times.

KEY REQUIREMENT SKILLS AND QUALIFICATION

• Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from a recognised institution.
• At least 1–2 years of relevant hands-on experience in stainless steel fabrication, TIG welding, metal fabrication, or a manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrable practical experience in TIG welding, particularly on stainless steel.
• Good knowledge of metal fabrication processes, welding techniques, workshop tools, and machinery.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, engineering sketches, and fabrication specifications.
• Understanding of dimensional measurements, tolerances, material selection, and quality control procedures.
• Basic knowledge of occupational health and safety practices in a fabrication or manufacturing workshop.
