Repair Center Specialist

Location: Aurora, CO (on-site)
Employment Type: Full-Time
Compensation: $21-$23 per hour

Some outdoor gear carries more than miles. It carries stories: favorite trails, memorable trips, unexpected weather, and years of use. At Fenix Outdoor, we believe great products deserve long lives… and sometimes, a skilled set of hands to help them keep going.

We’re looking for a Repair Center Specialist with experience in apparel repair, tailoring, alterations, sewing, or garment construction to join our team in Aurora, Colorado. Whether your background is as a tailor, seamstress, sewer, alterations specialist, apparel repair technician, or industrial sewing machine operator, you’ll use your technical skill, attention to detail, and problem-solving abilities to repair outdoor apparel and gear to our quality standards. From replacing zippers and patching well-loved garments to operating industrial sewing equipment, your craftsmanship will directly support our commitment to durability, circularity, and reducing waste.

If you take pride in making things last, enjoy solving the puzzle of a challenging repair, and appreciate work where quality matters as much as productivity, we’d love to meet you.

Circularity & Sustainability

• Apply repair techniques that extend product life and help keep quality outdoor gear in use

• Look for thoughtful, durable repair solutions that minimize unnecessary waste

• Support Fenix Outdoor’s broader circularity and sustainability initiatives through your everyday work
