3D Product Designer - Technical Furniture & Sheet Metal

About the role

A client that designs and manufactures control room consoles and technical furniture from its own facilities is looking for a 3D Product Designer. The designer develops precise 3D models and the fabrication, laser cutting and bending drawings that drive the production floor, bridging design intent and what the machines can actually build. The work is based in Dubai Investment Park, on site, five days a week with alternate Saturdays off.

• Prepare detailed fabrication, laser cutting and bending drawings ready for the shop floor.
• Create 2D and 3D drawings for production, client approvals and project submittals.
• Review designs against tooling, machine capability and material constraints and propose improvements that reduce cost or build time.
• Work with engineering, production and project teams to turn concepts into buildable designs.
• Deliver accurate, high-quality documentation aligned with project schedules, drawing standards and the ISO 9001 quality system.
• Maintain clean revision histories so the production team always works from the current issue.
