Luca Consoli

I was initially hired as a press operator, working independently on a 500-ton cold-press machine, producing various iron coil shapes. I was responsible for changing dies, managing different production orders, and ensuring smooth workflow. Occasionally, I also assisted colleagues working with hot-pressing machines and furnaces, gaining additional experience.

During this period, I learned to operate overhead cranes, welding machines, and various tools such as grinders and oxy-acetylene torches. Within the first year, I also acquired skills in machine maintenance and wiring of press systems, which enabled me to work independently and help ensure continuous production. My background as a Surveyor (Geometra) gave me a basic understanding of technical drawing reading.

After one and a half years at MO.TRI.DAL, I was promoted to the role of Mechanical Assembler for Industrial Plants. In this position, I assembled machinery for transporting and grinding rubber and construction materials, which further improved my mechanical skills and ability to read complex engineering drawings. I also worked closely in team environments on industrial production systems.

Due to my interest in learning English, MO.TRI.DAL enrolled me in a technical English course to facilitate communication with foreign workers and clients during work visits.

While working as an assembler, I was unanimously elected Company Safety Representative (RLS) for 190 employees. I was entrusted with workplace safety responsibilities, attending regular meetings with management and acting as a liaison between the company and the workforce.

Recognizing my practical skills and problem-solving abilities, the company offered me the opportunity to specialize in welding, particularly in robotic welding.

Currently, I operate an IGM K4 robotic welding system with 4 stations and an elevated, mobile basket. I am also responsible for light metal fabrication to prepare components for programming. Out of personal passion for welding, I have started pursuing a MIG/TIG welding certification at Tutor srl in Fiorenzuola, investing in my professional development independently.

I operated a machine for cleaning pipes from bio-resin using methylene chloride. I worked independently in the department and was also responsible for its maintenance, including mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems.

Additionally, I managed the acetone distillation process for upcoming production days, as well as the operation of resin rod curing ovens, each requiring different temperature settings.

Having obtained a forklift license, I also performed warehouse duties, including loading and unloading materials, managing shipping documents, and various packing operations.

I chose to take an apprenticeship course in Mechanical Technologies to further deepen my interest in mechanics and industrial systems. Although my formal education was as a Surveyor (Geometra) with skills in AutoCAD for construction, I personally invested in a course in Mechanical Design and 2D/3D Industrial Design, which I financed on my own.

I learned to operate a horizontal lathe and gained an understanding of its mechanical movements. It was quite challenging to learn the FANUC software, especially since I had no prior experience and this was one of my first jobs in the field.

I was responsible for organizing display bins in various departments according to the type of fruit or vegetable, as well as loading and unloading merchandise.
The most rewarding aspects of this job were its dynamic environment and the opportunity to interact with people on a daily basis.

I worked as a Promoter for Enel Energia and Area Manager. This experience allowed me to challenge myself by interacting with people and building relationships. As one of my first jobs, it helped me adapt to a dynamic work environment and the flexibility of working hours.

My first job was related to the tomato harvesting campaign, working three shifts, six days a week with one day off. I was responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of the tomato sorting machine.
This machine separated the tomatoes based on their ripeness, and whenever the hopper was filled with pulp or waste, it had to be emptied and cleaned. In case of minor hydraulic or electrical malfunctions, I was responsible for restoring the machine’s program and repairing the equipment.
