Job Summary:

The Heel Pad Operator is responsible for preparing and installing heel pads inside boots to provide comfort, support, and a clean finished appearance. This role involves applying adhesive to heel pads and the heel area of the insole or sock lining, then positioning and pressing each pad accurately according to style, size, and product specifications. The operator requires careful handling of boots and materials to avoid scuffs, adhesive marks, or damage to the interior lining and finished leather. The operator inspects each boot before and after installation for defects such as misaligned or loose pads, wrinkles, excess adhesive, or incorrect pad size, and reports any issues to the supervisor or quality control. The position also involves maintaining a clean and safe work area, handling adhesives in accordance with safety and ventilation guidelines, meeting daily production targets, and working closely with the finishing and quality control teams to support efficient workflow and consistent Lucchese craftsmanship.

Scope of job:

The Heel Pad Operator works within the Packing department and is responsible for installing heel pads in boots for all assigned styles and production orders. The scope of this role begins when boots or components are received from the previous operation and ends when boots with properly installed and inspected heel pads are passed to the next finishing, inspection, or packing operation. Within this scope, the operator selects the correct heel pad according to style, size, and work instructions, applies adhesive to the heel pad and the heel area of the insole or sock lining, and positions and presses each pad accurately so it is centered, secure, and free of wrinkles or excess adhesive. The operator performs in-process quality checks on every boot and sets aside or reports defective materials or workmanship to the supervisor or quality control. The role covers the operation and basic care of cementing tools and pressing equipment, as well as reporting any malfunction to maintenance. The operator is accountable for meeting daily production quotas and quality standards, accurately tracking work tickets or production counts, maintaining an adequate supply of heel pads at the workstation, and keeping the work area clean and organized. The position does not include authority to change specifications, methods, or materials without supervisor approval. The operator may be cross trained to support related finishing operations as production needs require.
