What are the responsibilities and job description for the Embroidery Machine Operator position at Skyline Merch?
Do you enjoy working with your hands, making things look great, and watching a blank garment turn into something people are excited to wear?
Skyline is looking for an Embroidery Operator to join our production team. You’ll help create hats, polos, jackets, bags, and other branded merchandise for businesses, schools, churches, events, and organizations throughout Northwest Arkansas and beyond.
No two days are exactly the same and you’ll probably never look at an embroidered polo the same way again.
What You’ll Do:
- Set up and operate multi-head commercial embroidery machines
- Hoop garments, hats, bags, and other products
- Load designs and select the correct thread colors
- Monitor jobs to ensure clean, consistent embroidery
- Trim, finish, fold, and prepare completed items
- Catch potential issues before they become expensive mistakes
- Keep your work area, machines, thread, and supplies organized
- Help the embroidery department stay on schedule
- Jump in and help the broader production team when needed
You’ll Be Great at This Job If You:
- Notice when something is slightly crooked
- Care about quality and the small details
- Enjoy hands-on, repetitive work
- Can stay focused while working at a steady pace
- Are dependable and show up ready to work
- Take direction well but do not need someone watching over you constantly
- Stay calm when the machines, thread, or hats decide not to cooperate
- Are willing to learn and improve
Commercial embroidery experience is helpful, but we are willing to train the right person. Experience in sewing, manufacturing, apparel production, screen printing, or another hands-on production environment is also a plus.
