HEXA CONTAINMENT
OFFICIAL JOB DESCRIPTION
Sewing Technician
La Porte, TX | Full-Time | On-Site
$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
HEXA Containment is a leading manufacturer and distributor of containment and environmental protection products, including berms, spill kits, and absorbents. 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.
Essential Duties & Responsibilities
•   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.
•   Pre-Shift Material Check: Conduct a pre-shift inspection of raw materials and supplies to verify the correct materials and adequate quantities are available before beginning production.
•   Quality Inspection: Inspect materials and finished work for defects, inconsistencies, or quality concerns.
•   Work Instructions: Read and follow work orders, patterns, and product drawings to build each product correctly the first time.
•   Production Goals: Work with team members and supervisors to meet daily production targets without sacrificing quality.
•   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. |
