Do you want to work with sewing and be part of manufacturing quality wool products – in the heart of Östersund?
Woolpower is now seeking dedicated and detail-oriented seamstresses for our production. We manufacture our garments in Sweden, from yarn to finished product. You'll become part of a company with approximately 270 employees where craftsmanship, quality, and teamwork are at the center.
You don't need to have worked with sewing before. What matters most is that you enjoy practical work, have the right attitude, and want to learn a new profession.
About Us
Woolpower is one of Sweden's largest textile manufacturers and produces wool underwear and socks – from yarn to finished garments. All production takes place in Östersund, which gives us full control over every step in the process. With long experience, we know what it takes to stay warm, and our goal is to spread that – both through functional products and responsible business practices.
Sustainability permeates our entire operation. Swedish production with high quality is the core of our business idea, summarized in Responsibly Made in Sweden – a promise of responsible manufacturing in Sweden. This includes fair working conditions, care for the people behind the products, durable garments with long lifespans, and a controlled supply chain.
About the Position
As a sewing associate, you'll work on manufacturing Woolpower garments in our factory in Östersund. The work can include different parts of production, such as cutting, piece matching, and sewing.
Depending on your previous experience, you can start with simpler work tasks and then develop further within sewing. You'll receive an introduction and practical training in our working methods, machines, and quality requirements. During training, you'll receive support and feedback from our sewing coaches.
Production consists largely of repetitive work tasks. The work therefore requires that you can maintain focus, attention to detail, and a consistent work pace throughout the workday. You need to be comfortable with work where you get to practice the same tasks to gradually become more confident and faster.
The quality of every garment is important. At the same time, we work together toward common production goals, which means that both precision and pace are significant.
Who Are You?
For us, your attitude and willingness to learn are at least as important as your previous experience. We're looking for someone who:
· is detail-oriented and concerned with maintaining the right quality in your work
· is engaged and wants to learn new tasks
· can work focused at a consistent and good pace
· has patience and endurance with repetitive work tasks
· enjoys collaborating and contributing to the team's common results
· can receive instructions and feedback
· dares to ask or request help when something is unclear
· is responsible and shows respect for both colleagues and work tasks.
You need to be able to understand and communicate in Swedish and be able to review written work and safety instructions.
It's an advantage if you've sewn before or have a strong interest in sewing. Experience with industrial production, professional sewing, textile production, or garment manufacturing is also an advantage. If you've worked with, for example, flatlock, overlock, single-needle, or twin-needle machines, that's a plus, but not required.
What matters most is that you have the right attitude, want to develop, and feel motivated to learn the work.
