Decorated Apparel Specialist
AP Design is hiring a full-time Decorated Apparel Specialist to join our embroidery production team. This role combines hands-on production, organization, quality control, and creativity. You'll work with state-of-the-art embroidery equipment while producing apparel for businesses, schools, athletic teams, and community organizations throughout southwest Minnesota.
Every day is different. One project might be embroidery for a local business, the next for a championship team, community event, or trade show. You'll work with modern embroidery equipment in a fast-paced environment where quality matters and your work is seen throughout southwest Minnesota.
No embroidery experience? That's okay. If you're dependable, organized, enjoy hands-on work, and take pride in quality, we'll teach you the rest.
The best part? You'll work in a friendly, relaxed, air-conditioned production environment where headphones are generally welcome during production work (when appropriate). Every project that leaves our shop represents a local business, school, team, or organization, and you'll help create products people are proud to wear.
