Key Responsibilities

Technical Development & Garment Construction

Own sample development independently, start to end, from sketch to final sample

Create and/or oversee pattern making with a full understanding of garment construction.

Critically analyse fit comments and translate feedback into clear, technical action points

Diagnose construction or fit issues and propose durable technical solutions, not just quick fixes

Lead fitting sessions: taking measurements, technical notes, and deciding on the adjustments needed

Bring strong technical knowledge of woven, jersey, and activewear fabrics

Bring strong technical knowledge of knitwear (gauge, stitch structure, finishing, shrinkage, shaping)

Bring technical knowledge of intimates/lingerie construction (elastic engineering, cups, support structures)

Carry out or coordinate fabric testing (shrinkage, stretch & recovery, colorfastness, pilling) to validate performance before bulk production

Pattern Making & Grading

Create digital patterns from sketch or brief with a complete understanding of drape, ease, and movement

Apply a critical, analytical eye to grading, identifying areas for continuous improvement across the size range

Adjust key points of measurement based on fit feedback and production considerations

Technical Documentation & Accuracy

Create, update, and maintain tech packs and spec sheets with accuracy and consistency

Ensure all documentation (fitting notes, revisions, BOM) is complete, organised, and up to date

Communicate clearly and effectively with manufacturers on technical comments, corrections, and updates

Sample Development & Production Coordination

Track sample development at every stage, ensuring timelines and revisions are followed closely

Coordinate with manufacturers with a real understanding of production constraints (MOQ, technical feasibility, construction complexity)

Estimate fabric consumption and support costing discussions with manufacturers

Prepare samples for fittings, meetings, and production handover

Leadership & Team Support

Mentor and support junior team members on technical development and pattern making

Manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously across different product categories

Act as a technical reference point for the wider design and development team

Tracking & Reporting

Document development meticulously (fitting photos, revision notes, sample history)

Keep development trackers accurate and up to date at every stage
