Job description

Engineer loose cushions, fixed upholstery, backrests, sunbed and daybed pads for comfort, support and long-term shape retention. You will produce CAD drawings and technical specifications for cushions, covers and upholstered components — including patterns, seam construction, closures and assembly detail. You will select and specify foam systems: reticulated / quick-dry foam, standard PU, latex, fibre wrap, and combination builds tuned to a target feel. You will define density, ILD/hardness, layering and internal construction to hit a specific comfort profile, and justify those choices technically. You will build accurate costings: foam and fabric yield, nesting and marker efficiency, labour minutes, BOM and landed cost per piece. You will prototype, sit-test and iterate — then document what worked so it can be repeated at volume. You will specify outdoor-grade materials: acrylic and solution-dyed fabrics, PTFE/UV-stable thread, marine zips, drainage and breathability detailing. You will work directly with the sewing line and QC to make sure what leaves the factory matches the spec. You will support sales and project teams with technical answers on custom and contract enquiries.

About you

Solid experience engineering upholstery or cushions — furniture, marine, automotive, or contract/hospitality seating

Hands-on knowledge of reticulated (quick-dry / dry-fast) foam and standard PU foam, and a real understanding of how foam specification translates into how something feels
