MOROKI (JUNIOR SEAMSTRESS) – Heritage Dalita Company

Employers usually look for practical sewing skills, often gained through vocational training, a polytechnic certificate, or an apprenticeship. Demonstrable experience with industrial sewing machines and attention to detail are highly valued.

You would typically be involved in cutting fabric, sewing various garments or components according to specifications, and performing basic machine maintenance. Quality checks and ensuring production targets are met also form part of the daily tasks.

Namibian workplaces value punctuality, respect for colleagues and supervisors, and a strong work ethic. Employers expect attention to detail, adherence to production timelines, and a willingness to learn and adapt.

A Moroki can advance to a Senior Seamstress, specializing in complex designs or garment types. With further training and experience, roles like pattern maker, quality control supervisor, or even production manager could become accessible.

Standard benefits include statutory annual leave, sick leave, and potentially maternity leave as per Namibian labour laws. Larger companies might offer contributions towards medical aid or a pension fund, though this varies greatly between employers.
