Workshop Seating Technician
Consolor Ltd is currently recruiting for a Workshop Seating Technician. No experience is necessary as full training will be given but an ability to learn on the job and show good practical skills with tools is essential. Previous experience in a workshop or production environment would be great but this position could also suit a school or college leaver or an apprentice.
Consolor assesses clients with physical disabilities and manufactures a wide range of seating and mobility products to support and enable our customers.
During the clinical assessment we take a 3D scan of the client’s posture. Back in the workshop the CADCAM Team use specialist software to finish designing the seat, a robot is programed and then carves the custom seat to each person’s profile. The seats are finished by hand and various other fabrications are manufactured and assembled and finally the finished seating system are fitted into a new powered or manual wheelchair.
Some of the other tools and machines we use are vacuum former, bandsaws, sanders, routers (including CNC) and numerous hand tools. Every seat is individually made and shaped to each individual customer.
