Role Overview

Bilingual Staffing Solutions has partnered with an established Canadian engineering solutions firm specializing in custom analyzers, sample conditioning systems, and process instrumentation to find their next Drafting Designer & Project Coordinator. Based out of the Montrea design floor, this is a hybrid technical role for a bilingual designer who is energized by real, complex projects: producing 2D and 3D drawings of electrical and mechanical components while coordinating internal execution from PO through ship. You will work directly with experienced engineering leadership on a tight-knit, long-tenured team where variety keeps you engaged and structure helps you deliver consistently.

Core Responsibilities

Drafting & Design

  • Produce 2D and 3D drawings for electrical and mechanical components using SolidWorks and AutoCAD

  • Manage drawings through review and approval cycles across a typical 12–16 week project lifecycle from PO to ship

  • Support 10–15 active projects per year, typically juggling 2–3 in parallel at various stages

  • Apply strong drafting fundamentals across both disciplines to deliver complete, manufacturable designs

Project Coordination

  • Coordinate internal project execution — purchasing, scheduling, and inter-departmental handoffs

  • Liaise with clients on technical clarifications and project status (primarily on the coordination side)

  • Track active projects using Excel and Gantt-based workflows to keep deliverables on schedule

  • Work alongside engineering, field technicians, and shop builders to deliver complete systems

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with senior engineering leadership to translate technical requirements into drawings and build packages

  • Support purchasing and production with accurate BOMs, POs, and production orders via the ERP

  • Maintain alignment between design intent, build execution, and customer expectations

Process & Delivery Excellence

  • Operate within established design and project workflows while contributing to continuous improvement

  • Maintain technical accuracy and version discipline across drawings and revisions

  • Support smooth handoffs between drafting, build, and field deployment phases

Required Experience

  • 5–8 years of drafting and design experience, with strong fundamentals in both 2D and 3D

  • Proficiency in SolidWorks and AutoCAD (Inventor experience also welcome — the principles transfer)

  • Comfortable drafting both electrical and mechanical components

  • Fully bilingual French / English, including technical engineering vocabulary in both languages

  • Able to lift up to 50 lbs

  • ERP exposure — Microsoft Business Central is a strong asset — for managing POs, BOMs, and production orders

  • Industry experience in process instrumentation, gas analyzers, or sample conditioning systems is a strong plus but not required

  • Post-secondary education in Mechanical/Electrical Design, Drafting Technology, or a related discipline an asset

Candidate Profile

  • Hands-on technical designer who thrives at the intersection of drafting precision and project coordination

  • Comfortable managing concurrent projects without losing detail

  • Strong communicator across disciplines — engineering, shop floor, and clients

  • Bilingual operator who can move fluidly between French and English in technical contexts

  • Meticulous, organized, and accountable for deliverables end-to-end

  • Collaborative team member energized by a stable, long-tenured engineering environment

  • On-site role with flexible start times — Monday to Friday, no weekends, minimal travel
