Summary
Role Overview:
The role involves the fabrication and welding of high-quality steel frames and lifting mechanisms for medical furniture. Because the products are bespoke (custom-made for specific patients), the work is varied and requires a high degree of accuracy.
Key Responsibilities
Precision Welding: Primarily MIG welding on mild steel. Some TIG welding may be required for stainless steel components or finer finishes.
Bespoke Fabrication: Working from engineering drawings to create one-off or small-batch components.
Mechanical Assembly: Assisting in the assembly of the mechanical parts of the beds, including motor mounts and scissor-lift frames.
Workshop Machinery: Proficient use of manual tools including grinders, pillar drills, horizontal band saws, and hand tools.
Quality Standards: Ensuring all welds are neat and structurally sound, as these products are subject to strict medical safety regulations.
Required Skills & Experience
Technical Literacy: Ability to read and interpret 2D engineering drawings and cutting lists.
Experience: Usually requires 2–5 years of experience in a fabrication environment.
