JOB VACANCIES

Apprentice Patternmaker required.
We are currently offering a 4-year apprenticeship in Patternmaking or a shorter re-training programme in the manufacture of all types of timber patterns and moulds. This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic person wanting to learn a real skill, who is practical with their hands, enjoys Maths and DT and has plenty of common sense and is enthusiastic to learn a skill.

So....What is Patternmaking?
On this website you will have seen lots of pictures of a huge array of objects - from bits of buildings to water slides. Some of the pictures show the fibreglass end product made by our customers. However, some of the pictures show the pattern or mould that has been crafted by us from timber and MDF. Often the patterns don't look like wood because we have added a textured finish or the wood has been painted. The job of the patternmaker is to make that original timber pattern working from technical drawings supplied by our customer.

If you click on the Leisure Tab at the top of our home page you will then see a series of photos. Click on the second photo that is shaped like a duck. There you will see the pattern, painted grey and in the photo beneath it you will see how the fibreglass looked when it was eventually pulled from the mould that our pattern had created.

You will see that the possible applications for our work are very varied!
