Cad Automation Engineer

The Big Picture:

• To undertake automated draughting development activities (3D modelling and 2D drawing production) relating to Howden products, primarily centrifugal fans.
• To give required automated draughting support to sales/proposals, operations and after-sales areas of the business and to actively support an ongoing continuous improvement and safety culture.
  

• Develop models and drawings for an automated design drawing system for innovative technical solutions within agreed timeframes that adhere to Howden standards and can be used to accelerate customer projects.
• Manage links with Howden selection software to populate automated design parameters.
• Communicate with design engineers and manufacturing to ensure all aspects of design and manufacture are addressed and automated.
• Provide automated draughting support to design engineers and other project team functional disciplines to ensure maximum uptake of the automated drawing system.
• Communicate any identified technical issues to appropriate project manager/engineering software developer and offer practical solutions where available.
• Plan and organize workload in conjunction with project management to ensure timely availability of automated drawings releases/functionality.
• Evaluate elements of sub-vendor design drawings/data to assist 3rd party component parameterisation.
• Support enabled value targets by optimising efficiencies through reduction of costs and improvement of quality and delivery of project drawings.
