Careers

At CK Embroideries, we work on garments and branded items that need careful handling, tidy finishes and on-time delivery. If you want to build a practical trade career in Mbombela, this is where hands-on work meets real customer service.

Careers

What Working Here Looks Like

Our base in Riverside, Mbombela serves businesses and schools across the Lowveld, so the pace changes with the season. Some weeks are steady and orderly, then a school order or a corporate rush comes in and everyone needs to stay focused, especially when power interruptions or short lead times can affect production planning.

We value people who arrive on time, respect stock and tools, and can work neatly with garments, caps, bags and gifts. You do not need to know every process on day one, but you must be willing to learn, ask questions and keep to instructions.

  • Care for finished garments and printed items
  • Follow production notes and order details carefully
  • Work well in a team and communicate clearly
  • Handle repeat orders and bulk packing with consistency

Roles We Commonly Hire For

We hire for different parts of the workflow, from customer-facing support to production and packing. Some roles suit people with sewing or print room experience, while others suit strong administrators or junior staff who want to grow into the trade.

  • Digitising support and artwork preparation
  • Embroidery machine operation and garment finishing
  • Screen printing and sublimation assistance
  • Sales, quotes and order coordination
  • Accounts, filing and delivery admin
  • Packing, stock control and dispatch support

Experience helps, but attitude counts too. If you are dependable, can keep records in order and are comfortable working with numbers, labels and deadlines, we want to hear from you.

The Kind Of Team Member We Value

Our work depends on detail. A misread size, a missing name or the wrong thread colour can delay a full order, so we look for people who check their work and take pride in a clean finish. Good manners and a steady manner matter just as much as technical skill.

We also value people who understand local working conditions. In the Lowveld, heat, humidity and load-shedding can all affect production flow, so we need staff who can adapt, stay calm and help keep orders moving without fuss.

  • Careful with quality control
  • Good with hands-on work and repetitive tasks
  • Comfortable in a busy production environment
  • Prepared to learn new methods and machines

Training And Growth On The Job

New team members may learn from experienced staff across digitising, production, print room work and order handling. We believe in practical training, because the best results come from understanding the full job from first enquiry to final packing.

You may start by helping with simpler tasks, then move into more skilled work as you build confidence and accuracy. If you show initiative and consistency, there is room to grow into a steadier role within the business.

A Place For Reliable, Practical People

If you want to be part of a company that handles real local orders and values steady workmanship, we would like to see your CV. We are based in Mbombela and work with people who understand the standards required for corporate clothing, schoolwear and branded items across the Lowveld.
