- Type: Temp-to-hire, with strong performers converting to permanent employment.
- Location: Durham, North Carolina
- Start: Immediate openings on both shifts
- Pay: Weekly direct deposit from day one
The Training Program
This position includes a structured 10-day hands-on training program. The first five days cover daily production routines, machine calibration, cleaning, thread handling, bobbin calibration, and logo downloads. The final five days focus on machine programming, hooping, and measurement accuracy. You will know exactly what is expected before you are on your own.

Required:
- High school diploma or GED
- Minimum 6 months of experience in a production or manufacturing environment
- Basic math skills including fractions, inches, and degrees (used daily for machine setup and calibration)
