Bradken is a global manufacturer of custom-engineered products and solutions for the resources sector. Our products operate in some of the toughest mining environments, where performance, reliability and practical engineering support matter.
We are seeking a full time, permanent Design Engineer at our offices in Toronto, Ontario to support the development, improvement and customisation of Bradken’s mining equipment product lines, with a primary focus on Fixed Plant.
This is a hands-on mechanical design role suited to someone who enjoys detailed engineering work, product problem-solving and seeing designs move from concept through to manufacture and field use.
About The Role
You will work across product design, reverse engineering, modelling, drafting, simulation and technical documentation.
With strong design judgement and practical problem-solving skills, you will support new product development, product updates and customer-specific designs across Fixed Plant, Hoppers, Conveyors, Grinding Circuit and other mining products.
You Will
- Create and update 3D models, detailed drawings and design documentation.
- Support reverse engineering, product improvements and new concept design.
- Complete analysis, simulation and technical checks to support safe, reliable product design.
