Mechanical Designer (Milton)

Mechanical Designer Conovey Inc. — Conveyor Systems & Custom Material Handling We build the machines that move things Spiral conveyors carrying kosher baked goods up four floors. Sanitary stainless systems running 24/7 inside food plants. Pouch handling for nutraceutical giants. If it moves product across a factory floor, somebody designed it — and increasingly, that somebody works at Conovey. We’re a tight, technically responsible team that designs and builds custom conveyor systems for clients across North America. No two jobs are the same. The work is real: you’ll see your drawings turn into welded steel, get shipped on a flatbed, and run for the next twenty years. We’re hiring a Mechanical Designer to join the engineering group. What you’ll actually do You’ll own mechanical design from concept through fabrication release on live customer projects. That means: - Designing conveyors, frames, guarding, drive assemblies, transfers, and integration components in SolidWorks - Producing clean, fab‑ready drawings — GD&T; where it matters, weldments, sheet metal, BOMs that the shop can actually build from - Working directly with project managers, the shop floor, and clients to size systems, resolve interferences, and answer the questions that come up at 2pm on a Tuesday - Spec’ing motors, gearboxes, bearings, belting, and structural components — and knowing why you picked what you picked - Reviewing site drawings and 3D scans, doing layout work, and catching the problems before they become change orders - Supporting FATs, installs, and the occasional "can you hop on a call with the customer" moment You won’t be siloed. Designers here talk to welders, electricians, controls people, and customers. If that sounds good, keep reading. What we’re looking for Required - 3+ years of mechanical design experience, ideally in custom machinery, conveyors, packaging, or industrial equipment - Strong SolidWorks skills — assemblies, weldments, sheet metal, drawings. PDM experience a plus. - A real understanding of how things get built — welded vs. bolted, machined vs. formed, what the shop can do in a week vs. what’ll cost you a month - Comfort reading P&IDs;, electrical layouts, and customer site drawings - Transparent written communication. You’ll be exchanging emails and markups with PMs, contractors, and clients constantly. Nice to have - Experience with stainless / sanitary design (USDA, BISSC, or food‑grade environments) - Familiarity with conveyor components — Intralox, Habasit, SEW, Nord, Bonfiglioli, etc. - AutoCAD for 2D layouts - Background in pharma, food & bev, or nutraceutical packaging - P.Eng or EIT (not required, but appreciated) Why Conovey - Real ownership. You’ll be the designer of record on your projects — not the third pair of hands on someone else’s drawing set. - Variety. A spiral one week, a pouch infeed the next, a full plant retrofit after that. You will not be bored. - Short feedback loops. Engineering, fabrication, and project management are all in the same building. Decisions don’t take three weeks. - A team that knows the work. People here have been doing this a long time and are generous with what they know. - Competitive comp, full benefits, and the kind of company where good ideas don’t have to wait for a quarterly planning cycle. Job Type: Permanent Pay: $35.00-$50.00 per hour Expected hours: 40 – 60 per week Benefits - Casual dress - Dental care - Disability insurance - Extended health care - Flexible schedule - On‑site parking - Vision care Work Location: In person Apply on Kit Job: kitjob.ca/job/2pryu7
