Working at ThingLab

Since our formation in 2001, we've grown considerably, however we make every effort to maintain the relaxed, enjoyable, dynamic small business atmosphere which has brought us to where we are today.

You can expect to find everyone here enthusiastic about their jobs and informed about the direction of the company.  Everyone is encouraged to take an interest and contribute opinions and skills to help make each project groundbreaking and more impressive than the last. We desire happy, focused individuals who appreciate that performance is handsomely rewarded.  We strive to achieve this with a range of progressive and enlightened HR policies.

We're proud of our record when it comes to work-life balance.  When we're busy, everyone is expected to pull together to put the hours in, but we go far beyond the norm when it comes to a flexible approach to working hours and we're certainly not the type of company that expects our employees to work all hours day-in day-out.

Like everyone however, sometimes we need a holiday team-building weekend away.  So we take one.  In recent years we've made it to Barcelona, 3 ski and snowboard trips to France and a sunny beach holiday to Sardinia.  We believe these trips do a huge amount for our company by encouraging a positive and happy office, and a stronger team.   There are always plenty of great stories to look back on too.

Probably the simplest, but most fondly appreciated fixture, is our long-established tradition of eating out together for Friday lunch.  This gives us all a bit more time to talk about non-business stuff and sample the many restaurants of Shoreditch and Hoxton.

These basic premises are an integral part of what makes Inition, well, Inition.

Inition Asia Pacific is seeking an enthusiastic and adaptable person to help grow Inition's Thinglab division. The role encapsulates 2 main functions - Scanning and printing of 3D objects, and building/forging new relationships with clients.

The Thinglab bureau service produces detailed meshes from scans of objects or environments using a range of cutting edge scanning equipment. The work involves scanning objects (anything from coins, skulls or fingerprints right up to maquettes, cars, people and environments) and reconstructing them in software to create accurate 3D models of the originals. The work is meticulous, requiring a keen eye, patience and attention to detail. Responsibilities include meeting deadlines, calibrating, maintaining and operating the scanner, as well as building and testing new scanners for our sales division. There is an opportunity to move into 3D printing later on. Previous experience with scanners is not strictly necessary - we are mostly looking for enthusiasm, willingness to learn, a love of producing high quality work and the right personality.

The client relations aspect will involve fielding inquiries regarding our 3D scanning/printing services/sales, providing technical support and expanding the business by means of following up leads or forging new contacts with potential customers via marketing initiatives.
