OFFICIAL JOB DESCRIPTION

Sewing Technician

$12/hour

7:30 AM- 4:30PM

At HEXA Containment, every product we ship has to hold up in the field, and a lot of that strength comes down to the seams. We are looking for a skilled, detail-oriented Sewing Technician who takes pride in quality work, keeps a steady pace, and wants to be part of a team that builds products people rely on.

About HEXA Containment

From our plant in La Porte and distribution centers across the country, we serve some of the most demanding industrial markets, including equipment rental, energy, aerospace, and environmental services.

Our promise to every customer: Fast. Easy. Always Available. That promise starts on the production floor.

Position Summary

The Sewing Technician is responsible for safely and efficiently operating industrial sewing equipment to produce high-quality HEXA products that meet established production and quality standards.

You will work with heavy-duty fabrics and materials, follow work instructions and product specifications, and keep your equipment in top running condition. This role is a great fit for someone who is precise, reliable, and takes ownership of their output every day.

• Machine Operation: Operate industrial sewing machines safely and efficiently to complete assigned production work.
• Product Quality: Produce sewn products in accordance with HEXA quality standards, specifications, and production requirements.
• Equipment Care: Perform daily inspections and routine maintenance of sewing machines to ensure equipment remains in proper working condition.
• Issue Reporting: Promptly report equipment malfunctions, damage, or maintenance concerns to the appropriate supervisor.

• Workstation Upkeep: Maintain a clean, safe, and organized workstation throughout the shift.
• Safety Compliance: Follow all safety procedures and consistently wear required PPE.

A Day on the Floor

Here's the honest version. You'll spend most of your shift at a sewing station, working with heavy-duty fabrics and materials. The work is steady and hands-on, and your seams need to be right every time.

You'll start each shift by checking your machine and your materials, then work through your production orders alongside the team. Our plant is not climate-controlled, so expect heat in the summer and cold in the winter.

Quality matters more than speed, and you need both. If you like seeing exactly what you built at the end of the day, this role is for you.

What You Bring

• High school diploma or GED preferred
• 6+ months of experience operating industrial sewing machines (preferred)
• Experience sewing heavy-duty materials such as vinyl, canvas, or coated fabrics is a plus
• Ability to read and follow work instructions, measurements, and product specifications
• Strong attention to detail, hand-eye coordination, and manual dexterity
• Ability to sit or stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 lbs
• Ability to work in a non-climate-controlled warehouse (heat/cold)
• Reliable, team-oriented, and able to communicate effectively
• Commitment to safety, quality, and consistent performance

Don't have industrial sewing experience? If you're detail-oriented, dependable, and eager to learn, we still want to hear from you.

What We Offer

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• Life Insurance and 401(k) with company match
• Paid Time Off and holidays
• Hands-on training on HEXA products and equipment
• Opportunities for growth within operations
• Team-oriented, performance-driven environment

Join the HEXA Team

If you take pride in quality work, show up ready every day, and want to be part of a team that keeps production moving, this is your opportunity.

At HEXA, we move fast, expect results, and rely on our people to get the job done right.
