Garment Presser - Dry Cleaning Production

About the Role

Martin Cleaners is a family-owned dry cleaning, laundry, and alterations shop with a long track record in the community. We're hiring a full-time garment presser to join our small production team.

This is steady, physical work in a production environment. We're honest about the conditions — it's hot, it's demanding, and it requires real consistency. We're also honest about what we offer in return: a stable schedule, a team that functions well, and a workplace where people stick around.

What You'll Do

• Press dry-cleaned garments at a dedicated station (pants, silks, delicates, and general dry-cleaning)
• Inspect garments for quality and flag issues as you work
• Cross-train on other pressing stations as needed
• Work as part of a small, coordinated team

Schedule

• Approximately 30-35 hours/week
• Start time: 6:00 AM; shifts end when production is complete (typically 5–7 hours)
• Longer days during busy seasons (especially spring)

Compensation & Benefits

• $16.00–$17.00/hour based on experience
• 6 paid holidays (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas)
• Overtime paid when applicable
• Stable, long-term position

What We're Looking For

• Dependable — consistent attendance is essential in a small shop
• Physically capable of standing and working in heat for most of the shift
• Detail-oriented — able to notice fabric types, care instructions, and quality issues
• Coachable — open to feedback and ongoing training
• Team-minded — willing to help and cross-train

Experience in pressing or garment production preferred but not required. We will train someone with the right work ethic and reliability.

Work Environment This is a production environment. Conditions include heat, steam, noise, and exposure to cleaning chemicals. We work to mitigate these where possible, but candidates should be comfortable with physical, hands-on work before applying.

Requirements

• Legal working age
• English required
• Must pass background check and drug screening
• Reliable transportation and consistent availability
