Industrial Sewing & Sling Fabrication Technician

Like working with your hands? We can teach you the rest.

We are looking for an Industrial Sewing & Sling Fabrication Technician to join our Operations Team at our Distribution Centre in Long Sault, ON. This isn't clothing alterations or traditional sewing. At Hercules Crane & Lifting Supplies, our production team uses industrial sewing equipment to manufacture heavy-duty synthetic lifting slings used in construction, energy, manufacturing and other industrial applications. If you have experience with industrial sewing, upholstery, canvas, awnings, manufacturing, fabrication or production work, we'd love to hear from you. Never made a lifting sling before? That's okay. We'll train you.

We offer a comprehensive compensation and benefits package that includes:

• Competitive wage ($20 -22/hour depending on experience)


• Generous RRSP matching program 5%


• Full health and dental benefits


• Industrial sewing and sling fabrication training provided


• Great schedule - Monday to Friday 8-5

• Operating heavy-duty industrial sewing machines

• Following specifications, measurements and production instructions


• Inspecting finished products for quality and accuracy


• Applying product identification and tags


• Using hand tools and production equipment


• Keeping your workstation organized and safe


• Learning how lifting products are manufactured, inspected and used

This is hands-on work where quality matters. The products you manufacture are used to safely lift and secure heavy loads, so attention to detail is important.

You could be a great fit if you have experience as a: Industrial Sewer • Sewing Machine Operator • Upholsterer • Canvas Fabricator • Awning Fabricator • Production Worker • Manufacturing Technician • Textile Worker • Fabricator. 

We're primarily looking for someone who:

• Enjoys hands-on work

Most people don't grow up thinking, “I'm going to manufacture lifting slings.”  That's exactly why we're willing to train the right person. 

If you're good with your hands, enjoy making things, and like seeing a finished product at the end of the day, this could be a great opportunity to learn a specialized area of industrial manufacturing.
