With over 40 years of experience, we provide specialized engineering expertise and workforce solutions across the Energy, Mining, Oil & Gas, Infrastructure and Industrial sectors.

We are currently recruiting a CAD Technician on behalf of an international mining industry client for a major mining infrastructure and mineral processing development project in Namibia.

The project involves engineering studies, infrastructure assessments, technical design updates and preparation for future construction activities.

Working alongside experienced engineers and international design teams, the selected candidate will contribute to the development, updating and management of technical drawings and 3D engineering models.

This position is particularly suitable for a motivated CAD professional seeking to develop expertise in mining engineering, industrial infrastructure and multidisciplinary project delivery.

Job Description

Reporting directly to the Project Engineer, the CAD Technician will support engineering and project teams by producing, updating and maintaining accurate technical drawings, site layouts and 3D models.

The role includes coordination with internal engineering disciplines, external design consultants and site teams to ensure the consistency, traceability and reliability of project documentation.

Key Responsibilities:

2D Drafting & Technical Drawings

  • Produce, modify and maintain 2D engineering drawings using AutoCAD or equivalent drafting software.
  • Update general site layouts, infrastructure plans and engineering drawings to reflect design modifications and existing site conditions.
  • Prepare and revise drawings covering industrial buildings, structural steel, access roads, pipelines, cable routes and associated infrastructure.
  • Develop and update as-built drawings based on field measurements, surveys and engineering information.
  • Prepare technical drawings and layouts for multiple engineering disciplines, including Mechanical, Civil, Structural, Electrical and Instrumentation.
  • Perform drawing conversions, formatting, corrections and quality checks in accordance with established drafting standards.

3D Modelling & Design Coordination

  • Develop, update and manage 3D engineering models using Autodesk Revit, SolidWorks or other relevant modelling software.
  • Import, review and integrate external 3D models into the project design environment.
  • Support the coordination of engineering models across disciplines to maintain design consistency.
  • Assist engineering teams with visualization and representation of existing and proposed installations.
  • Participate in the coordination of drawings and models within a centralized Building Information Modelling (BIM) environment.
  • Support the identification of inconsistencies between drawings, models and actual site conditions.

Drawing Management & Document Control

  • Monitor incoming and outgoing technical documentation, transmittals and technical queries.
  • Review supplier and contractor drawings for completeness, formatting and compliance with project requirements.
  • Retrieve and update historical engineering documentation as required.
  • Support document control activities through project document management systems.

Site Surveys & Engineering Support

  • Participate in site visits and field measurement activities to verify existing infrastructure.
  • Integrate survey data and site modifications into updated engineering drawings.
  • Support engineers in preparing basic engineering calculations and technical documentation.
  • Coordinate with external engineering consultants, contractors and technical specialists.
  • Assist in the preparation of engineering reports, project documents and technical meeting records.
  • Ensure compliance with project engineering procedures, quality requirements and HSE standards.
