This is a hands-on production role. You will set up and operate multi-head embroidery machines, prep garments, interpret design specs, and keep production moving. If you have a background in sewing, embroidery, or any production manufacturing environment and you have good attention to detail and steady hands, this is worth your time.

Hoop and prepare garments accurately for embroidery production
Interpret design specifications and verify proper placement and alignment on each piece
Inspect completed products and address defects or errors immediately
Perform routine machine maintenance, cleaning, and basic troubleshooting
Keep accurate records of machine settings, inventory, and completed orders

Schedule: First shift 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM or second shift 2:00 PM to 10:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Saturday hours required during peak season.
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.

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)
