Embroidery Machine Assistant/Junior – Afternoon Shift

Location: Canning Vale, Perth WA Employment Type: Part-Time

Shift: Monday to Friday | 4:30pm – 10:30pm (30 minute break)

About Us

Thorny Devil Access is a proudly WA owned and operated business with locations in Canning Vale, Karratha and Port Hedland. As a certified Indigenous-owned business and member of Supply Nation, we are committed to supporting diversity, creating opportunities within our community, and delivering high-quality workwear and PPE solutions. As our embroidery and printing department continues to grow, we are looking for a reliable Embroidery Assistant/Junior to join our afternoon production team and support the delivery of exceptional custom branding for our clients.

The Role

We are seeking an Embroidery Assistant/Junior for our 4:30pm – 10:30pm shift. This role suits someone who enjoys working in a production workplace, takes pride in their work, and is happy to get hands-on with garment preparation, machine assistance, and finishing tasks. No prior embroidery experience is necessary — we're just as interested in candidates with strong packing, folding, and garment-handling experience who are keen to learn embroidery skills on the job. As this is an afternoon-to-night shift, the role suits someone comfortable working evening hours within a small, close-knit production team.

- Assist the embroidery operator with threading, bobbins, and general machine support
- Fold, pack, and prepare finished garments for dispatch




- Monitor embroidery runs and flag any quality or accuracy issues
- Assist with routine cleaning and basic machine maintenance
- Support stock handling and workplace organisation
- Assist with heat press equipment as required
- Maintain a clean, safe and efficient work area

About You

- No embroidery experience required — training provided; prior experience with commercial embroidery machines is a bonus
- Experience in packing, folding, garment handling, or a production/warehouse environment highly regarded
- Strong attention to detail and a willingness to learn
- Comfortable working afternoon and night shift hours
- Able to work confidently within a small team environment, typically alongside one or two other employees
- Good time management skills and ability to meet production deadlines
- Basic computer skills (advantageous, not essential)
- Physically capable of standing for extended periods and handling garments/materials
- Valid Australian work rights

What We Offer

- Competitive hourly rates with afternoon shift loading
- Work on brand-new equipment – Single Head, 4 Head and 6 Head embroidery machines, with more on the way
- On-the-job training and support to build your embroidery skills
- Join a fun, supportive team that enjoys a laugh while getting the job done
- Chance to grow with a fast-expanding business

If you're reliable, detail-oriented, and keen to grow your skills in an evening production environment — whether you're coming from embroidery, packing, or general production work — we'd love to hear from you. Apply now and join the Thorny Devil team.
