We take pride in delivering exceptional experiences, embracing creativity, and making every event run seamlessly. We believe extraordinary events start with extraordinary people. If you take pride in your work, enjoy collaborating with a supportive team, and want to be part of something bigger, you'll feel at home here.

The Tenting Vinyl Sewing & Repair Technician plays a critical role in maintaining the quality, safety, and appearance of our tenting and event inventory. This position is responsible for repairing and maintaining vinyl tent tops, sidewalls, liners, and related fabric products that support successful events across our markets. Working closely with warehouse, operations, and event teams, this role helps ensure equipment is event-ready, professionally maintained, and delivered to clients at the highest standard.

We are a highly team-oriented operation where collaboration across departments is essential to delivering successful events. While this role primarily focuses on vinyl sewing and repair, team members are expected to support warehouse, logistics, installation, and operational needs when business demands require it.

What You'll Do

  • Execute repairs on tent vinyl, sidewalls, liners, and fabric materials using industrial sewing machines and repair equipment
  • Ensure all tenting inventory meets company quality and safety standards before deployment to events
  • Troubleshoot damage to vinyl materials, seams, zippers, straps, and hardware components to determine appropriate repair solutions
  • Collaborate with warehouse and operations teams to prioritize repairs based on event schedules and inventory needs
  • Maintain organized repair stations, sewing equipment, tools, and material inventory to support efficient workflow
  • Track repair status, material usage, and maintenance needs to help improve inventory readiness and longevity
  • Support preventive maintenance efforts by inspecting tent products for wear, tear, and structural concerns
  • Proactively communicate repair timelines, inventory concerns, and material shortages with leadership and team members
  • Deliver consistent craftsmanship and attention to detail while working in a fast-paced event operations environment
  • Assist with loading, staging, and handling tent materials as needed to support warehouse operations and event execution

What You Bring

Required

  • Willingness to work across multiple departments and support team operations as business needs evolve
  • Positive, team-oriented attitude with the flexibility to adapt in a fast-paced event environment
  • 1–3 years of experience in industrial sewing, vinyl repair, upholstery, canvas work, or related heavy-fabric environments
  • Experience operating industrial sewing machines and working with heavy-duty materials such as vinyl, canvas, or PVC fabrics
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to produce durable, high-quality repairs
  • Ability to lift and move up to 50 lbs and work in warehouse or production environments
  • Ability to stand, bend, and perform repetitive tasks throughout the workday
  • Reliable attendance and flexibility to support seasonal event schedules, including occasional overtime or weekends

Nice to Have

  • Experience in the tenting, event rental, awning, marine canvas, or upholstery industries
  • Familiarity with heat welding, patching techniques, or industrial fabric fabrication
  • Forklift certification or warehouse equipment experience
  • Basic knowledge of inventory systems, repair tracking, or maintenance documentation
  • Ability to read measurements, patterns, and repair specifications accurately

What Makes Us Special

Compensation and Benefits

  • Competitive pay: Hourly + overtime opportunities
  • Paid time off and company holidays
  • Comprehensive benefits package including:
    • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
    • Company-Paid Basic Life and AD&D Insurance
    • Short-Term and Long-Term Disability
    • Telehealth and Wellness programs
    • Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
    • Employee Assistance Program
    • 401(k) with employer matching
