Job Description

The Linen Production Specialist & Industrial Sewer is a hands-on, split role based in our warehouse. You will divide your time between sewing tasks—such as running commercial sewing machines, fixing damaged fabrics, and sewing in tracking tags—and helping out with daily laundry operations.  

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Textile, Sewing & Custom Branding
  • Inspect, patch, hem, and repair torn or damaged rental inventory (tablecloths, napkins, runners, drapes). 
  • Securely sew ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID tracking tags into the linens. 
• Laundry & Linen Operations (When Not on Sewing Projects) 
  • Assist the laundry team by loading and operating commercial washers, dryers, and high-speed flatwork ironers during peak turnaround windows. 
  • Actively inspect processed linens to detect permanent stains, burns, or wax damage before items are wrapped and shelved. 
  • Fold, bundle, wrap, and accurately label clean linens by size, color, and fabric type according to strict standard operating procedures. 
  • Keep the linen department staging bays clean, ensuring that upcoming delivery orders are picked accurately and packed cleanly to protect against truck wall friction. 

Qualifications and Requirements

• 2+ years of experience operating industrial/commercial sewing machines, sergers, and/or embroidery equipment. Experience in a commercial laundry, hospitality textile, or warehouse environment is preferred. 
• Strong understanding of different fabric types (polyester, linen, velvet, silk) and the specific needles, tension settings, and cleaning/repair methods required for each. 
• Ability to stand for extended periods, perform repetitive tasks (folding, feeding ironers), and lift up to 30–40 lbs of linen bundles. 
• Excellent eyesight and precision to catch minor structural defects or stains, and the organizational skills needed to track inventory tags accurately. 

Compensation, Benefits, and Perks: 

• Pay range: $17.50 - $19.50 per hour, based on experience and qualifications.  
• Multiple shifts available including afternoon and weekends. 
• Comprehensive health benefits, including medical, dental, vision, and supplemental insurance plans.
