Industrial Sewing Operator

Lava Island•Aurora, CO

3d•Onsite

About The Position

Welcome to Lava Island! Lava Island is an indoor play oasis where kids fly across trampolines, vanish into towering jungle gyms, dive into foam pits, and race down slides while families share pizza and celebrate birthdays in the party rooms. It is loud, bright, and full of energy. Every trampoline, deck, slide, and play piece is made by hand. Active Play Solutions (APS) is the team that makes them. The Job: You will work in the Sewing group on the APS production floor in Denver. That means industrial sewing machines, grommets, and the PVC cutter. You will read work orders, run the equipment, and produce the soft-good components that ship out to new parks across the country. This is industrial sewing, not home sewing. Heavy materials, industrial machines, and production volume. You will be part of a small production crew, working alongside the Production Manager and other operators.

Requirements

Industrial sewing experience. You have worked on industrial machines with heavy materials before.
Comfort with grommet tools and material cutting equipment.
Can read a work order and follow basic specs and SOPs.
Reliable. Show up, hold a steady pace, do the work.
Open to cross-training into other production groups over time.

Nice To Haves

Experience with tarps, awnings, marine canvas, upholstery, tents, or athletic equipment is a plus.
Bilingual (English / Spanish) is a plus.

Responsibilities

Run the Sewing stations: industrial sewing machines, grommets, and the PVC cutter.
Read work orders and follow specs to produce soft-good components that match the design.
Catch your own quality issues. Do not pass problems downstream.
Cross-train into other stations and production groups over time.
Keep your work area clean and safe. PPE always.
