What is a contract mechanic?

A Contract Mechanic is a skilled technician hired on a temporary or project basis to inspect, repair, and maintain mechanical systems, typically in industries like aviation, automotive, or heavy equipment. Unlike full-time employees, contract mechanics work for a set duration or specific projects. They may work independently or through staffing agencies, often requiring their own tools and specialized certifications. This role offers flexibility and competitive pay but may require travel and self-employment considerations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a contract mechanic?

To thrive as a Contract Mechanic, you need a solid background in mechanical repair, diagnostics, and maintenance, often supported by relevant vocational training or certifications like ASE. Familiarity with specialized tools, diagnostic equipment, and maintenance management systems is typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, adaptability, and effective communication are important soft skills in this field. These skills ensure that you can efficiently address a variety of mechanical issues, work independently or as part of a team, and meet the unique needs of different employers or projects.

What are the typical work environments and scheduling expectations for contract mechanics?

Contract Mechanics often work in a range of environments, such as automotive repair shops, construction sites, manufacturing plants, or in the field performing on-site repairs. Schedules can vary significantly depending on the type of contract, with some roles offering standard weekday hours and others requiring evening, weekend, or on-call availability, especially for urgent repairs. Flexibility and the ability to quickly adapt to new workplaces and team dynamics are important in this role. Many Contract Mechanics work independently, but collaboration with other technicians, supervisors, or clients is often necessary to complete complex jobs efficiently.

Founded on the premise of leaving the world better than we found it, our innovative, patented, ISO-certified technology delivers the most environmentally responsible, cost-effective, and sustainable way for our clients to meet their emissions-reduction targets. Our vision is simple: we are passionate about creating a cleaner, sustainable future for everyone. We believe that together we can create a path to net-zero, create clean power for the communities we serve, and have fun in the process.

Position Details

  • Position Type: Contract.
  • Hours: Part-time, nominally 20 hours per week, with the potential to increase in hours and/or convert to a full-time position based on workload.
  • Work Environment: Hybrid, with an expectation to work from our office 23 days per week 

Questor is looking for an intermediate Mechanical Drafter to support the design and manufacturing of our existing incinerator product line and the development of our new product lines. Must have strong drawing skills in SolidWorks, along with basic knowledge and use of AutoCAD.  You will produce and maintain the manufacturing, assembly, and fabrication drawings that bring our equipment to life, working closely with our engineering team in a collaborative setting. This is a contract position, and the role reports to the Director of Engineering.

Success in this role is defined as someone who partners effectively with the Engineering and Operations Team, is detail-oriented, organized, effective at prioritizing, able to manage multiple deliverables, and produces accurate, high-quality drawings with a high level of professionalism and confidentiality, with a desire to continually learn, grow, and contribute to the team.

Your Unique Skills

  • Strong, hands-on SolidWorks skills; you produce clean, accurate, and well-organized 3D models and 2D drawings, and you take pride in the craft of drafting.
  • Experience with AutoCAD in creating P&IDs and wiring diagrams.
  • Detail-oriented and pragmatic; you are able to independently prioritize, organize, and manage multiple drawing packages and revisions.
  • A collaborative team player with a can-do attitude that holds themselves to the high standards of quality and accountability Questor expects.
  • Quick to adapt to new circumstances, with the initiative to work through ambiguity and ask the right questions.
  • Comfortable working independently within a part-time, hybrid arrangement while staying closely coordinated with the engineering team.
  • Professional communicator who exercises discretion with confidential information.

What You'll Do

  • Produce manufacturing, fabrication, and assembly drawings in SolidWorks based on engineering direction, sketches, and markups.
  • Create and maintain 3D models, 2D detail and general arrangement drawings, and bills of material (BOMs) for incinerators and related equipment.
  • Revise and update existing models and drawings to reflect design changes, redlines, and continuous-improvement updates.
  • Apply appropriate dimensioning, tolerancing (GD&T & ASME), and drafting standards so drawings are clear and ready for fabrication.
  • Manage drawing files, revision control, and documentation in an organized and consistent manner.
  • Collaborate with the Engineering, Operations, and Manufacturing teams to ensure drawings are accurate and practical to build, assemble, and install.
  • Support the preparation of equipment specifications, datasheets, and fabrication packages.
  • Incorporate feedback from design reviews and drawing checks and flag discrepancies or constructability concerns for engineering review.

What You Bring

Required

  • Diploma or certificate in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Drafting, 3-D Modeling, AutoCAD/CADD, or a related discipline.
  • 36 years of relevant mechanical drafting experience.
  • Strong, demonstrated proficiency with SolidWorks (3D modeling and 2D drawing production).
  • Solid understanding of drafting standards, dimensioning, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T & AMSE).
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel).
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent drawing packages and revisions.

Assets

  • Experience drafting for fabrication, weldments, sheet metal, and/or pressure equipment.
  • Familiarity with oil & gas, energy, or industrial equipment manufacturing.
  • Familiarity with applicable codes and industry standards (e.g., CSA B149.3, ASME B31.3.
  • Experience with PDM or other drawing-management and revision-control systems.

What Questor Offers

Questor offers competitive compensation and flexible working hours, with the potential for this contract role to increase in hours and/or convert to a full-time position based on workload.
