Seamstress - Work From Home - Med/Heavy Material
Description
Adventure Trail Gear is a Fredericton-born small business, manufacturing fabric products for different markets such as: off-road/overland travel, daily use personal bags, hiking, biking and human powered activity. We manufacture for multiple other Canadian businesses, as well as sell direct to customers all across the world.
We are looking to add another seamstress to our team in order to provide more depth and growth potential as we expand our product line and increase our private label manufacturing. With recent large manufacturing commitments and requests, we need to spread the designs across more skilled seamstresses to maintain timely production standards.
Working with us entails the following:
- Work from your own home/space
- Set your own hours of work
- Daily/weekly communication with team members to discuss and coordinate production goals
- Weekly in-person meets to exchange completed products
- Flexible payment timelines (current standard is 15th and last day of the month)
- Contract earnings (paid per product completed) to foster self-improvement and in-turn earning increases
Some requirements our new team member must meet/be able to achieve:
- Possess an industrial straight stitch sewing machine. Depending on experience level, we MAY be able to provide an industrial straight stitch sewing machine, if the new team member does not have their own. We currently have an extra brand new Techsew machine that could be made available
- Ability to communicate in English, or patience to work with other team member's to use translation technology (we want to work with good people, regardless their primary language)
- Space in your home/own area to store fabric rolls (5ft long, typically 6" diameter), webbing, zipper, Velcro rolls (can be store in a few boxes), hardware such as zipper pulls, buckles, etc (typically no more at a time than could be store in a plastic colourful drawer stack). If space is limited we do have the ability to store the larger items in a central location for you to draw from weekly
- Space to cut material according to templates (roll out material and lay templates on top - min 6x6ft space for material and to move around it)
- Ability to access internet to review build assignments (we can accommodate by providing a printed task list and coordinating via phone if needed)
- Safely lift 40lbs (or have someone able to help maneuver rolls of fabric)
Product build costs are assigned with the mindset that the team member could:
- be sufficiently skilled, building at a relaxed pace, and earn around $15-16/hr
- be sufficiently skilled, building at a focused/deliberate pace, and earn around $18-20/hr
- be highly skilled, building at a relaxed pace, and earn around $20-25/hr
- be highly skilled, building at a focused/deliberate pace, and earn around $25-35/hr
Those interested in joining our team are asked to respond to this ad with a brief description of your experience, availability and a resume. Your email and/or resume should provide contact information and indicate what area in or around Fredericton you would be working.
