About the placement
This internship is with Particular Engineering (PE), a family-owned engineering and manufacturing business located on the Central Coast and facilitated by CSIRO's Generation STEM Links program. PE develops and manufactures dust-control, air-filtration and other bespoke mechanical systems for mining, construction and industrial clients.
As an intern, you will provide day-to-day drafting and technical documentation support to PE's Workshop Manager. The role is closely connected to live workshop production: converting sketches, red-line mark-ups, site measurements and engineering concepts into clear fabrication and assembly drawings; updating models and drawing revisions; and preparing the supporting information needed for the workshop to build accurately and efficiently. You will work from PE's Somersby office and workshop, with guidance from the Workshop Manager and engineering team. This is a practical production-support role and does not involve independent engineering approval or design sign-off.
Key activities
- Produce and update 2D and 3D CAD drawings for fabricated components, frames, ducting, skids and mechanical assemblies.
- Convert workshop mark-ups, site measurements and engineering information into accurate, fabrication-ready drawings.
- Prepare part details, assembly drawings, bills of materials, cut lists and simple workshop instructions.
- Maintain drawing numbers, revision control, drawing registers and as-built records.
- Check dimensions, interfaces, tolerances and manufacturability with the Workshop Manager and fabricators before drawings are issued for production.
- Help improve standard drawing templates, reusable components and workshop documentation systems.
Work arrangements
- Start date: Flexible but ideally as soon as possible.
- Working arrangement: Full time or part time
- Remuneration: $36/hr + super on a casual contract
- Location: in person, Somersby, Central Coast, NSW
Desired capabilities
- Currently studying Mechanical, Mechatronics, Manufacturing or a related engineering or technical drafting qualification.
- Practical capability in at least one 2D or 3D CAD platform, such as SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, Fusion 360 or equivalent. Applicants should list the platforms they use and provide examples of relevant project work where available.
- A sound basic understanding of engineering drawings, dimensioning, tolerances and how parts are fabricated and assembled.
- Comfortable working between the office and workshop floor, taking measurements, checking details and asking questions before assumptions become rework.
- Strong attention to detail, organisation and discipline in document and revision control.
- A positive, proactive and practical approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement.
- Proficiency in Microsoft 365; experience with responsible use of AI, coding or automation is beneficial but not essential.
- Clear communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with workshop personnel and engineers.
Requirements
- Must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
- Must be in your penultimate or final year of an undergraduate qualification.
- Must be able to attend the Somersby workplace in person and comply with PE workshop safety requirements.
About the Industry Partner
Particular Engineering specialises in the design, development and manufacture of practical solutions that reduce airborne particle hazards across mining, construction and material-handling environments. PE combines engineering design with workshop fabrication and field implementation, giving interns direct exposure to how technical information is converted into equipment that must be safe, buildable, serviceable and fit for purpose.
