Leather and Hide Tanning and Finishing

Leather and hide tanning and finishing employers process animal hides into durable leather by cleaning, tanning, dyeing, and applying finishing treatments to achieve the right color, texture, and strength. Jobs commonly include production and machine operators, chemical process or batch handlers, quality inspection/QA, and general shop-floor roles. Work is typically hands-on in a factory setting with strong safety requirements around chemicals and protective gear; some roles may involve shift work and repetitive physical tasks.
