Job Description

$35–$45 per hour depending on experience and capability, with opportunities to increase pay as skills and efficiency develop

n

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.

n

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.

n

This isn’t your typical auto upholstery role. We manufacture new products from recent 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.

n

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.

n

The goal is simple: produce quality work, stay organised, and keep things running smoothly week to week.

n

This is a role for someone looking to settle in, be part of a team, and stand behind the quality of their work.

- Sewing on a quality industrial machine with automated functions

n
- Willingness to learn and improve within a refined production system
n
- You don’t need to know everything, but you should be confident with the basics and willing to refine your skills within our system.
n
- Small team working directly with the owner, where your input is valued and contributes to the growth of the business
n
- Clean, organised workshop with a focus on staying ahead and avoiding chaos
n
