Embroidery & Branding Operative

We’re looking for a practical, detail-focused Embroidery & Branding Operative to join our friendly, hands-on Branding & Embroidery team at our Inverness site.

This team brings customer ideas to life – from personalised workwear and uniforms to bespoke corporate branding, embroidery and heat‑seal designs. The work you do helps businesses across the Highlands & Islands and Aberdeenshire present themselves professionally and consistently.

If you enjoy practical, creative work, take pride in quality, and like being part of a supportive team environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Previous embroidery experience is helpful but not essential – full training is provided.

Customising garments and workwear

You’ll operate embroidery and heat‑press machinery to apply logos and designs to a wide range of garments including T‑shirts, hoodies, jackets, uniforms and specialist workwear. Training will be provided at a pace that supports you.

Using Corel

DRAW and vector‑based artwork, you’ll help prepare branding designs – adjusting size, positioning, layout and finishes to suit different garments.

You’ll review job sheets and pick slips to ensure garments, sizes, colours and branding instructions are correct before production starts.

Working to production schedules while maintaining a high standard of accuracy, finish and consistency across every order.

You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues in Branding & Embroidery, as well as Internal Sales and Warehouse teams, supporting other tasks during busy periods.

Colleagues describe the role as fast‑paced, rewarding and hands‑on:

"The team are friendly and genuinely supportive."

"Seeing the finished product come together – especially on big projects – is really satisfying."

"It’s more involved than people realise, but once you learn the process it clicks."

"It’s great spotting uniforms we’ve created out in the community."

We’re more interested in attitude and potential than a perfect CV.

• A positive, can‑do attitude and willingness to learn
• Strong attention to detail and pride in high‑quality work
• An accuracy‑focused mindset – you care about getting things right first time
• Ability to work to deadlines without compromising quality
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
• Basic IT skills with good numeracy and literacy
• Eligible to work in the UK and able to work on‑site in Inverness

• Sewing, textiles, tailoring or alterations (formal or informal)
• Craft, creative or hands‑on production roles
• Manufacturing or assembly work
• Any role requiring precision, focus and pride in finished work

If you’re looking for a stable,
practical role where you can learn new skills, work with a supportive team and see the results of your work every day, we’d love to hear from you.
