Lead the Stitch. Own the Finish.
Were looking for an experienced Embroidery Team Lead who can keep machines running smoothly, teams focused, and every stitch productionready.

What Youll Do
Youll manage the embroidery floor from setup to final fold, ensuring quality, efficiency, and ontime delivery:
  • Coordinate daily embroidery workflow based on production schedules, managing machine capacity and prioritizing rush orders
  • Set up and assist in operating singlehead and multihead embroidery machines (Tajima, ZSK)

  • Conduct spot checks during production to catch issues like thread breaks, puckering, or registration errors early
  • Enforce safety protocols and maintain a clean, organized, and compliant work environment
  • Oversee and perform daily/weekly maintenance: cleaning, oiling, and greasing embroidery heads and rotary hooks
  • Troubleshoot and complete minor repairs (birdnesting, needle breaks, tension, timing) and coordinate major repairs with technicians
  • Jump in on additional duties as production needs evolve
What You Bring

  • Handson expertise with commercial embroidery machines, especially Tajima and ZSK
  • Deep understanding of fabric types (knits, wovens, performance fabrics) and correct stabilizers, backings, and needles
  • Mastery of multiple hooping systems: tubular hoops, magnetic hoops, clamps
  • Comfort using production tablets/computers; basic Wilcom digitizing knowledge for minor edits is a strong plus
  • Sharp eye for quality issues such as density problems, registration shifts, or placement errors
  • Mechanical mindsetyou can diagnose issues quickly and minimize downtime
  • Clear verbal communication skills for instructing operators and reporting updates to leadership
  • Experience training, motivating, and leading a team is highly valued
  • Strong reliability, punctuality, and followthrough
  • Selfmotivated team player who takes ownership of results
  • Ability to read and follow production sales orders precisely
  • Intermediate English reading/writing required; Spanish/English bilingual preferred
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience operating commercial embroidery machines (multi-head experience preferred)
  • 1+ years of experience in a lead or supervisory role within a manufacturing environment.
Why This Role Matters
Youre the bridge between design intent and finished productand your work shows up in every final stitch.
If youre ready to lead production with confidence, precision, and pride, we want to hear from you.
Our regular schedule is Monday - Thursday, 6:00am to 3:15pm, Friday, 6:00am to 11:00am.
What you'll get:
  • Medical, dental and vision with generous employer contribution
  • 401k with employer match
  • Two weeks of paid time off per year
  • 8 company paid holidays
  • Employee Assistance Program
Compensation: $19.00 - $26.00 per hour
