Job description

At L.L.Bean, we believe the outdoors brings out the best in all of us. We are committed to fostering a culture of belonging and creating safe, inclusive spaces where everyone feels welcome—both here and Outside. We value individual differences and are dedicated to maintaining an inclusive work environment where everyone can bring the best of their experience and talents and truly thrive.

Bring Custom Creations to Life with L.L.Bean! Our Bean for Business team specializes in embroidering company logos, names, and symbols onto iconic L.L.Bean gear, from classic Boat and Tote bags to cozy fleece jackets. Each stitch represents quality, craftsmanship, and pride.

We are currently hiring temporary, full‑time Embroidery Machine Operators, Quality Assurance Support Reps, and Fulfillment Processors to work in our Lewiston warehouse to help us deliver these high‑quality, customized products to our corporate customers.

No prior experience? No problem— we’ll train you! We currently have positions available on both 1st and 2nd shifts.

Embroidery Machine Operator

Be part of the team that turns everyday gear into custom‑made products. In this role, you would:

• Operate a computer‑guided, multi‑head embroidery machine to stitch logos with precision
• Select thread colors, thread needles, and measure products to ensure perfect placement
• Inspect finished embroidery to ensure it meets L.L.Bean quality standards
• Work closely with teammates to meet deadlines and exceed customer expectations

Quality Assurance Support Representatives

In this role, you’re the final set of eyes—ensuring every product is shipment‑ready and flawless. You would:

• Inspect items for accuracy (size, color, item ID, logo placement, thread color)
• Remove backing material, trim loose threads, and clean guide marks
• Fold and package items correctly by size
• Pack finished goods and include required shipment documentation

Fulfillment Processors

Help keep the operation moving by making sure the right products are in the right place at the right time. In this role, you will:

• Retrieve, organize, and move cases of merchandise (up to 30 lbs) using pallet jacks and carts
• Verify product details against computer records before embroidery begins
• Work with item codes, sizes, colors, and symbols with careful attention to detail
• Maintain and organize supplies that support the embroidery team

Here’s what to expect in our warehouse environment

• Hands‑on, active work that keeps you engaged and moving throughout your shift
• A team‑oriented culture where communication, collaboration, and helping one another are key
• A production setting with machine activity, some noise, light dust, and fluorescent lighting

Here’s what you’ll bring to the table

• A positive attitude and eagerness to learn
• Strong attention to detail
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
• Basic computer skills and the ability to follow written and verbal instructions
• Intermediate (or higher) English skills for reading order specifications

Whether you’re just entering the workforce, returning after time away, or looking for something new, your contribution matters here. No prior warehouse or embroidery experience required—we provide all training.

What We Offer

A strong benefits package, including generous L.L.Bean merchandise discounts, 401(k) participation, and more!

Available Schedules

• 1st Shift: Monday–Friday, 6:00am–2:30pm
