Custom Contractor Agreement for Fabrication

I need a clear, legally enforceable independent-contractor agreement for a metal-fabrication, welding, and product-design specialist my company is bringing on. The document must prioritise liability protection while also shielding our proprietary designs and market position. The contract has to include, at a minimum: • A tightly drafted non-compete clause that sets out duration, geography, and the specific fabrication and design activities the contractor must avoid. • A comprehensive NDA covering drawings, CAD files, material specifications, client lists, and any in-house processes. • A hold-harmless / indemnification section that shifts third-party claims or on-site injury liabilities away from my company. Please integrate standard independent-contractor terms (payment schedule, project scope, work-for-hire IP transfer, governing law, termination triggers) so it is ready for signature without extra edits. I’d like the final deliverable in editable Word format plus a clean PDF for immediate use. If you have experience drafting contracts for manufacturing or fabrication businesses, let me know—I'll share the specific project details and state jurisdiction once we start.
