Fabrication Engineer / Mechanical Designer

We're looking for someone who is mechanically minded and fabrication-oriented. This is not a position limited to sitting at a desk and producing drawings. The person in this role should be comfortable walking onto the shop floor, talking with a welder or fabricator, understanding a problem, taking measurements, and developing a practical solution that can actually be built.

The position combines 3D design, mechanical problem-solving, fabrication, and project management. You'll work closely with customers, our fabrication team, and Stockmeister's construction project management personnel to take projects from initial problem through design, proposal, fabrication, and installation.

Responsibilities

• Develop practical mechanical and fabrication solutions for customer and facility needs
• Create 3D models, shop drawings, fabrication drawings, and assemblies
• Design using Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, or equivalent 3D CAD software
• Review blueprints, specifications, field measurements, and existing conditions
• Work directly with welders and fabricators to ensure designs are practical and buildable
• Coordinate projects from concept and design through proposal, fabrication, and installation
• Assist with estimating, material takeoffs, purchasing, scheduling, and vendor coordination
• Coordinate with customers, construction project managers, fabricators, and field personnel
• Provide occasional field and installation oversight
• Help improve fabrication methods, shop processes, and efficiency

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant experience
• Strong proficiency with Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, or similar 3D CAD software
• Experience with metal fabrication and welding
• Familiarity with press brakes, CNC fiber lasers, saws, and other fabrication equipment
• Ability to read and produce blueprints, shop drawings, and fabrication/mechanical drawings
• Strong mechanical aptitude and practical problem-solving skills
• Experience with industrial equipment, facilities, maintenance, manufacturing, construction, or custom fabrication
• Project management or project coordination experience
• Ability to communicate effectively with customers, project managers, tradespeople, welders, and fabricators

Education

A degree or technical education in Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Mechanical Design, Drafting/CAD, Manufacturing Technology, Industrial Technology, or a related field is preferred but not required for candidates with strong applicable experience.

Position Details

• Full-time
• In-person in Jackson, Ohio
• Office and fabrication shop environment
• No remote work
• Minimal travel, primarily for field measurements, customer coordination, or installation/project oversight
• Full benefits package
