Fortifab Manufacturing Inc. is a sheet metal fabrication shop based in Langley, BC
. We build production-ready sheet metal parts and assemblies and need reliable CAD support when projects spike or when we’re pushing drawings/DXFs out the door.

We’re looking for an experienced Onshape sheet metal contractor we can return to once in a while
—someone who’s responsive, accurate, and understands manufacturability.

• Model sheet metal parts in Onshape (clean feature trees + design intent)
• Generate flat patterns and export DXFs for laser/CNC
• Create 2D drawings (PDF) with dimensions, notes, bend info, hardware callouts
• Support light assemblies and basic BOMs when required
• Apply revisions quickly from markups, photos, sketches, or existing CAD

• Organized Onshape document(s) (Part Studios / Assemblies)
• Flat pattern DXF(s) (proper orientation, clean geometry)
• Drawing package (PDF)
• Optional: STEP exports, assembly, BOM, hardware callouts

• Strong Onshape experience (productive immediately)
• Solid sheet metal fundamentals (manufacturability)
• Comfortable interpreting imperfect inputs (sketches/photos/marked PDFs)
• Reliable communication + hits agreed deadlines
• Works independently and asks clarifying questions early

• Solid Works experience (helpful for incoming legacy files / translations)
• Real shop/fabrication context (laser + press brake reality)
• Familiarity with revision practices and clean document organization
• Experience with PEM hardware / rivnuts / fasteners and drawing standards

This is as-needed contract work
. Some weeks/months there may be no work; other times we may have a small batch of parts/drawings to complete.

Compensation: Open — please propose your hourly rate and/or typical per-job pricing
