The Role: Join a Leader in Production

Are you a high-velocity Machinist who thrives when the pressure is on? We are a vibrant, forward-thinking manufacturing company looking for top-tier talent to join our elite production team. This is a role for a seasoned pro—someone who doesn’t just sew, but masters the machine to deliver flawless results at a rapid pace.

If you have a "get it done" attitude and the technical skill to back it up, your future starts here. Key Responsibilities

Precision Machining: Expertly operate Heavy-Duty Walking Foot machines to stitch both high-grade leather and various fabrics.

High-Speed Production: Maintain exceptional speed and accuracy in a pace-driven environment, meeting strict daily output targets without compromising quality.

Material Mastery: Handle the unique challenges of leather (non-forgiving needle holes) and the nuances of fabric (stretch, grain, and tension).

Technical Maintenance: Perform basic machine troubleshooting and threading to keep your station running at peak efficiency.

Quality Control: Self-inspect all work to ensure seams, top-stitching, and finishes meet our premium brand standards. Requirements (No Exceptions)

Candidate Alert: We are only contacting applicants who demonstrate professional experience with BOTH leather and fabric.

Experience: 5–10 years of solid experience in a factory or industrial sewing environment.

Machinery: Expert-level proficiency with Industrial Walking Foot machines.

Speed & Learning: You must be a naturally fast learner who can adapt to new patterns quickly and maintain a high "pieces-per-hour" rate.

Stamina: Proven ability to work efficiently in a high-energy, fast-paced factory setting.

Attention to Detail: An eagle eye for straight lines, consistent margins, and perfect tension. What’s In It For You?

Vibrant Atmosphere: Work in a clean, modern factory with a team that values high performance.

Career Prospects: We are growing fast. We reward hard work with stability and opportunities for lead hand or supervisory roles.

Competitive Compensation: We pay for performance and experience. How to Apply

Think you’re the fastest and most precise Machinist in the industry? Prove it.

Note: Please highlight your specific experience with leather and heavy-duty machinery in your application. Only candidates meeting the dual-material requirement will be contacted.
