Role Purpose

The Quilting Machine Operator is responsible for the safe and efficient operation of quilting machinery, ensuring products meet quality and customer specifications.

● Report breakdowns or faults immediately.

● Keep production logs and record output against targets.

2. Quality Assurance

● Conduct regular visual and technical checks on quilted products.

● Identify defects and take corrective action.

● Maintain consistent standards across all production runs.

● Assist in implementing continuous improvement initiatives to improve quality and reduce waste.

3. Raw Materials & Stock Control

● Monitor and track stock levels of cotton, wool, packaging, and consumables.

● Forecast material requirements based on production schedules.

● Deal directly with suppliers to replenish materials in a timely manner.

● Carry out stock counts and maintain accurate inventory records.

4. Finished Product Management & Dropship

● Ensure adequate stock of finished products to meet customer demand.

● Coordinate direct shipments to customers (dropship model).

● Oversee packaging, labeling, and shipping documentation.

● Liaise with logistics and courier partners to guarantee timely deliveries.
