You will be responsible for developing and releasing fabrication drawings, material bills of materials, manufacturing sequences, ERP routings and production orders while supporting tooling, fixtures, equipment selection and manufacturing process improvements.\nThis is a hands-on engineering position suited to someone who understands how components are actually manufactured and can identify and resolve manufacturability challenges before they affect production.\nKey Responsibilities\nReview and interpret customer design specifications, fabrication specifications and technical requirements\nIdentify and resolve design ambiguities and manufacturability constraints early in the project lifecycle\nProvide real-time engineering support to resolve fabrication and production challenges\nDevelop, review and release general arrangement and detailed fabrication drawing packages\nEnsure fabrication packages are technically accurate, complete and ready for production\nDevelop and maintain accurate material Bills of Materials (BOMs), including material specifications and piece-part processing requirements\nWork closely with Procurement regarding material requirements, supplier capabilities and sourcing considerations\nParticipate in design and manufacturability reviews for new and existing products\nApply Design for Manufacturability, Design for Assembly and Design for Inspection principles\nRecommend practical design alternatives that improve manufacturability, quality, cost, safety and production efficiency\nDevelop manufacturing routings, fabrication sequences and operation requirements in collaboration with Production\nCreate and maintain production orders, ERP BOMs and manufacturing routings\nDevelop QC inspection requirements and support appropriate in-process inspection parameters\nDesign jigs, fixtures and tooling to improve safety, quality, efficiency and manufacturing repeatability\nEvaluate fabrication methods and manufacturing capabilities based on cost, schedule, quality and safety requirements\nSupport equipment and tooling selection for manufacturing operations\nParticipate in plant equipment and machine design associated with capital and operational improvement projects\nPerform tolerance stack-up studies, fit-up evaluations and assembly interference assessments\nSupport continuous improvement initiatives across engineering and manufacturing operations\nQualifications\nBachelor’s degree or College Diploma in Mechanical Engineering or a related mechanical engineering discipline\n7+ years of relevant engineering experience combining mechanical design/CAD with practical manufacturing or fabrication experience\nExperience within a heavy fabrication, industrial manufacturing, engineered equipment or similar production environment strongly preferred\nC.E.T. or EIT designation considered an asset\nStrong hands-on SolidWorks and PDM experience\nStrong understanding of mechanical drafting and fabrication drawings\nDemonstrated understanding of Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA) and Design for Inspection (DFI)\nStrong knowledge of manufacturing processes including welding, machining, forming, coating and mechanical assembly\nAbility to interpret GD&T and welding symbols\nExperience developing and maintaining multi-level BOMs, manufacturing routings and production orders within an ERP environment\nExperience evaluating fabrication processes and selecting appropriate manufacturing methods\nExperience with tolerance stack-up analysis, fit-up evaluations and assembly interference assessments\nExperience with SolidWorks Simulation or other Finite Element Analysis tools is preferred\nSolidWorks Inspection experience is considered an asset\nPlant equipment or machine design experience is considered an asset\nProficiency with Microsoft Office and experience working with ERP systems\nNuclear and Code Experience\nPrevious nuclear manufacturing experience is highly desirable but is not necessarily required for a candidate with strong heavy fabrication and manufacturing engineering experience.\nKnowledge of ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code requirements, including Sections II, III and VIII, as well as CSA N285, CSA N299, B51 or other applicable nuclear and pressure-boundary standards, is considered a significant asset.\nCandidates coming from other highly regulated manufacturing environments such as pressure vessels, power generation, aerospace, defence, heavy industrial equipment or engineered-to-order manufacturing may also be well suited to the opportunity.\nWhat You Bring\nYou are a practical, production-focused engineer who is comfortable moving between engineering drawings and the manufacturing floor.\nYou understand that a successful design must not only meet technical requirements-it must also be manufacturable, inspectable, safe and efficient to produce.\nYou bring strong problem-solving and decision-making capabilities, attention to detail and the ability to work effectively in a deadline-driven manufacturing environment. You communicate effectively with engineers, production personnel, quality professionals, procurement teams and other stakeholders.\nYou also demonstrate a strong commitment to workplace safety, product quality and continuous improvement.\nSuccess in the Role\nSuccess will be measured by the accuracy and timely release of fabrication drawing packages, BOMs and production orders; minimizing engineering-related production interruptions and rework; maintaining strong technical and quality compliance; and identifying opportunities to improve manufacturing processes, tooling, equipment and engineering cycle times.\nWhy Consider This Opportunity\nThis position provides the opportunity to work on technically complex, highly engineered products within Canada’s growing nuclear manufacturing sector.\nYou will have direct visibility into how your engineering work translates into shop-floor execution and will play an important role in improving manufacturability, production readiness, quality and operational performance.\nIf you are a Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineer with strong SolidWorks capabilities and practical heavy fabrication experience who enjoys solving real-world manufacturing challenges, Aplin would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.\nCompensation Range: $ 110 to $ 120 K base per year plus competitive benefits program, \nApplicant Requirements\n Applicants must currently reside in Canada and be legally authorized to work for any employer without sponsorship. All information provided on resumes and applications must be accurate, complete, and verifiable.\nAt Aplin - together with our brands CompuStaff, Impact Recruitment, and Vantix Systems - we connect great people with great organizations across North America.
