We're a small workshop based in Brendale specialising in high-end motorcycle seat covers.
Ommella operates as the trimming arm of Kelpi Custom Moto, working closely alongside their team to manufacture and develop our product range.
Production has grown steadily over the past 7 years, with a strong focus on quality, consistency, and continual improvement.
While our work is production-based and made in volume, we still treat every seat individually and take pride in every one that leaves the workshop.
This isn't your typical auto upholstery role.
We manufacture new products from new materials, so the work is clean and production-focused rather than repair or restoration based.
The focus is on quality, process, and attention to detail within a structured workflow, all performed in a clean and organised workshop.
The work is mainly production-based motorcycle seat covers, with custom seat work and a small amount of other products and projects mixed in.
You'll be working directly with the owner in a hands-on, collaborative environment, contributing to the full build process from marking through to final fitment, as well as assisting with new designs.
The goal is simple: produce quality work, stay organised, and keep things running smoothly week to week.
This is a role for someone looking to settle in, be part of a team, and stand behind the quality of their work.
What you'll be doing
Marking and cutting materials from patterns
Sewing on a quality industrial machine with automated functions
Foam shaping
Opportunity to take on creative design and custom work as your skills, capability, and understanding of the brand's style develop




Working through structured processes with the owner to keep production organised, consistent, and on track within a collaborative workflow
Working toward consistent daily output while maintaining high quality standards
What we're looking for
Experience in auto upholstery, trimming, or similar industrial sewing
High attention to detail and pride in your work
Organised and able to follow structured processes
Reliable and consistent, with a willingness to take responsibility for your output
Willingness to learn and improve within a refined production system
You don't need to know everything, but you should be confident with the basics and willing to refine your skills within our system.
Small team working directly with the owner, where your input is valued and contributes to the growth of the business
Clean, organised workshop with a focus on staying ahead and avoiding chaos
All indoor, mostly air-conditioned work environment
Consistent, structured workflow
Work alongside an experienced trimmer with 20 years in the trade
Work closely with Kelpi Custom Moto, a solid and friendly crew with a robust reputation
Opportunity to progress and take on more responsibility as your skills develop
Standard hours are 6:00am–2:30pm Monday to Thursday and 6:00am–12:00pm Friday (38-hour week), with flexibility to adjust earlier or later for the right person
Compulsory 12% superannuation
Christmas bonus aligned with the overall success of the business for the year
Two weeks mandatory industry shutdown at year end
