About the role

A recruiter representing its client is hiring a CAD Design Assistant Manager in Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore.

• Develop accurate 3D part and assembly models in Pro/ENGINEER (PTC Creo) and generate production-ready drawings from them.
• Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), fits and material specifications correctly in all engineering drawings.
• Turn concepts, sketches and customer requirements into precise, design-ready, manufacturable 3D CAD models.
• Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) and follow document control and version management protocols.
• Coordinate with production, quality assurance, procurement and maintenance teams on design queries, manufacturability issues and engineering change requests.
• Review technical drawings prepared by junior designers or draftsmen for accuracy, standards compliance and completeness (mainly for Deputy Manager level).
• Support cost reduction and value engineering, and maintain design libraries, templates and drafting standards.
• Manage multiple projects, prioritise tasks and meet tight deadlines with minimal rework.
