Textile Production Machine Technician

Location: West Asheville, NC | Employment: Full-time, in person | Pay: $21.57 – $23.47 per hour

A day in this role

At 6:50 you’re on the floor—whether it’s the day shift or the night shift—reviewing your line, checking material levels, and setting machine parameters. As the run begins, you monitor speeds and pressures, keep an eye on quality metrics, and make minor adjustments to keep output steady. Throughout the shift you record production counts and material usage, complete weight and measurement checks, and perform visual inspections. You keep your area organized, and when needed, you hop on a forklift (we’ll certify you on-site) to move materials safely and efficiently.

Why this opportunity stands out

• Modern, clean, safety-focused textile facility
• Industry-leading pay with built-in overtime opportunities
• Predictable rotating 12-hour schedule—plan weeks ahead
• Temp-to-hire with strong conversion potential
• Stable, growing company that values its people
