Do you have an interest in premium apparel and an eye for detail? If so, this could be your perfect next step into garment technology at Whistles.

As the Assistant Garment Technologist, you won't just be observing; you'll be keenly involved in ensuring the perfect fit, faultless quality, and technical excellence of our knitwear, jersey, swimwear, beachwear and loungewear from the very first sketch to the moment they reach our customers.

What you'll do:

As an Assistant Garment Technologist, you'll be involved in bringing our beautiful designs to life, ensuring every garment is perfect for our Whistles customer. Reporting to the Senior Garment Technologist, you'll be hands-on with:

• Becoming a fit expert, attending weekly fit sessions, preparing fit lists and ensuring all technical paperwork is ready.
• Ensuring quality excellence by making sure every Whistles product meets our quality standards and is fit for purpose. This means you'll also be involved in championing yarn and fabric development and assessing test reports.
• Working closely with our Technical, Design, and Buying teams, assisting in the creation of accurate workbooks and packs for our supply base.
• Being a vital link between our suppliers and internal teams, communicating fit amendments clearly and effectively.
• Assisting in our sustainable strategy, helping to maintain essential certification paper trails.

Who you'll be:

As the Assistant Garment Technologist, you'll be a vital part of our technical team. You'll be someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, is exceptionally organised, and loves working collaboratively. You'll be great at building and maintaining effective working relationships at all levels, both internally and with our supplier base.

Whilst knitwear and jersey wear experience is a plus, it's not a requirement. We're looking for an Assistant Garment Technologist who is passionate about garment technology and keen to grow in their career with us.
