Upholsterer/Upholstery Restoration

Automotive Upholsterer - Classic & Exotic Restoration
Neenah, WI
We’re hiring an Upholsterer to join a nationally respected restoration shop specializing in high-end classic and exotic vehicles.
This is not dealership seat repair. This is full restoration work — interiors that take up to 300 hours per vehicle, built to exacting standards.
If you can run a sewing machine and sew a straight, clean line — we can teach you the rest.
What You’ll Do
Sew leather interiors for classic and exotic vehicles
Perform full interior restorations (seats, dash, panels, carpets, trim)
Handle projects ranging from small repairs to complete interior rebuilds
Work on multiple vehicles at different stages of restoration
Remove and reinstall interior components when needed
Execute diamond pleats, borders, straight seams, and detailed stitching
Maintain clean, visually straight lines and high craftsmanship standards
Average full interior project: ~300 labor hours
Typical interior timeline: 2-3 months per vehicle
What Matters Most
You know how to run an industrial sewing machine
You can sew straight, consistent seams
You’ve worked with leather or heavy materials
You take pride in clean lines and visual precision
You want to be in the automotive field
We can train someone who knows how to sew.
We cannot train someone who doesn’t care about quality.
Backgrounds That Translate Well
Automotive upholstery
Aircraft interior (trim) experience
Marine upholstery
Trim fabricators
Hands-on fabricators with sewing experience
(Detail-only experience is typically not a fit unless paired with machine sewing ability.)
Compensation & Growth
Starting range: $45K-$60K, depending on experience
Growth potential to $65K-$70K+ with demonstrated skill
3-6 month ramp-up expected
Long-term stability and low turnover environment
Top performers in this trade can earn significantly more as skill level increases.
The Right Fit
You don’t need to be the best upholsterer in the country.
You do need to:
Run a machine confidently
Sew straight
Care about the work
Want to grow in high-end automotive restoration
If that sounds like you, we want to talk.
