Job Description

Embroidery Machinist

Location: Huddersfield

Hours: Monday to Thursday, 8:00am - 4:00pm

Duration: Temporary, minimum of 2 months.

Pay Rate: £12.21 per hour

We are currently looking for an experienced Embroidery Machinist to join our client's production team. This role is suited to someone with commercial embroidery experience, particularly on multi-head industrial machines.

The Role

You will be responsible for operating multi-head embroidery machines (4 or 6 heads) in a fast-paced production environment. All logos are pre-computerised; however, the role involves full machine operation from setup to quality control.

Key duties include:

  • Operating industrial multi-head embroidery machines
  • Threading machines and setting up programmes
  • Running embroidery programmes efficiently and accurately
  • Removing finished garments and carrying out quality checks
  • Re-setting machines ready for the next run
  • Working in a repetitive, clockwork-style process where one machine is running while another is being reset

This is a hands-on, repetitive role that requires focus, consistency, and good time management.

Experience Required

  • Previous industry experience is essential
  • Experience using Happy or Barudan embroidery machines is highly desirable
  • Home or hobby-based embroidery experience is not suitable for this role, as machines are industrial multi-head

The Environment

  • Fast-paced production setting
  • High-volume output
  • Team-oriented and process-driven
  • If you're an experienced embroidery machinist who enjoys structured, production-based work and takes pride in quality, we'd love to hear from you.
