Sales Technicians
When you engage Rockpress for your project, you’ll be assigned a Sales Technician to manage every aspect of the job. This means you’ll have one contact person to keep you informed on the progress of your work.
All our Sales Technicians are trade-qualified in steel fabrication, so you can be confident your project is being managed by someone who clearly understands your requirements and expectations. Your Sales Technician will be responsible for:
- Quoting and budgets
- Briefing and co-ordinating our design team
- Managing production timelines
- Liaising with workshop staff
Workshop Trade Staff
Experienced tradespeople operate our technologically-advanced equipment throughout our one-stop-workshop factory.
And we make sure our tradespeople continually advance their skills, to put these new technologies to best use for your job. our welding staff are tested and formally-qualified to AS/NZS 1554.1 SP, AS/NZS 1554.4SP, AS/NZS1554,5 and AS/NZS 1554.6.
At the same time, they’re all skilled in traditional steel manufacturing techniques to complement our modern processes.
Draftsmen
Rockpress has a team of full-time 3D CAD/CAM professionals who are all proficient in Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Machining software.
If you have a concept but no details, or your job requires 3D modeling for absolute precision, Rockpress can provide the expertise and guidance to help you achieve your goals. Our draftsmen aide in design only but can put you in touch with the right people to ensure your project meets all the relevant building & engineering codes. Once the design has been certified Rockpress will review the criteria and specifications to get the best results for your project, including the most cost-effective approach.
If you don’t have drawings of your own our Draftsmen can produce a set of workshop drawings as machine files for our tradespeople and equipment to interpret – enabling us to work to the highest tolerance levels.
