We're looking for a motivated, hands-on Assistant to the Engineering Team - someone eager to learn, organised, and ready to get involved in how things are designed, built, and delivered.

This is an entry-level position designed to provide exposure across engineering, fabrication, and project coordination. Within 6 months, strong performers will have the opportunity to grow into a Junior Engineer role.

• Communicate with vendors to compare quotes and follow up on orders
• Receive, inspect, and test delivered items to ensure quality and accuracy

3. Documentation & File Management

• Organise and maintain project files in Google Drive
• Document progress through photos, notes, and assembly records
• Prepare summary decks and reports for internal and client projects

4. Workshop & Inventory Support

• Assist with workshop upkeep and materials preparation
• Help manage inventory (filament, screws, cables, etc.)
• Support simple fabrication or finishing tasks (e.g. sanding, putty, spray painting) under supervision

5. Research & Learning

• Research engineering or fabrication methods, materials, and solutions
• Learn design tools and contribute to idea generation or concept sketches when possible

Who You Are

• Diploma or Degree (or currently pursuing) in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, Mechatronics, or a related field
• Curious, resourceful, and passionate about how things are made
• Comfortable communicating with suppliers and team members
• Basic hands-on skills (or willingness to learn) in fabrication or prototyping
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Proficient with Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive)
• Familiarity with CAD tools (Fusion 360, SolidWorks) or 3D printing

Why Join Us

• Be part of a creative and fast-moving engineering team
• Work on real-world innovation projects across multiple industries
• Gain end-to-end exposure to product design, fabrication, and delivery
• Clear pathway to Junior Engineer position within 6 months for high performers
