About this role
Carole Fabrics, part of the Hunter Douglas family, is looking for someone to work the pleat marking and grommet insertion stages of drapery production. The role involves reading work tickets, measuring and marking fabric panels with invisible chalk according to specifications, clamping and positioning drapery on the marking table, and then using a Hyproflex machine to punch and insert metal grommets. You'll need to maintain quality standards below 1% defect rate while hitting 70–100% productivity depending on workflow, and flag any issues to your supervisor before panels move forward.
The position calls for a high school diploma and practical skills: comfort reading tape measures, basic fabric knowledge, and proficiency with hand tools. You'll need to pass a color blind test, be detail-oriented with names and numbers, and be comfortable standing and lifting continuously throughout your shift.
