Design and Estimation Technician

Job Description
If you're the kind of person who, even after all these years, still has a strong interest in LEGO or Meccano sets and enjoys solving problems, then this job is for you!

Flexpipe is looking for a Design and Estimation Technician to join our Flexpipe Lab team.

What is Flexpipe?
Founded in 2011, Flexpipe is a manufacturing company that specializes in modular material handling systems offering great flexibility of use. What does that mean? It means it’s a system of steel pipes and over thirty types of connector joints that can be used to imagine, design, and build just about anything! Flexpipe is also a system designed to be the king of continuous improvement. It's a modular system that can be assembled and disassembled nearly endlessly—just like LEGO. The most common items we build are handling carts, ergonomic workstations, "supermarket-style" racks, and conveyors. It’s super fun!

The technician is responsible for developing and proposing custom solutions to clients. Using SketchUp and the Flexpipe system, the technician can respond to all requests. You will work directly with end clients, offering them turnkey solutions.
