We are looking for a hands-on Garment Technologist to support a streetwear and sports-influenced apparel collection, with a strong focus on technical execution, fit, fabric choice, and commercial realism.
This is a Watford-based, execution-led role, working closely with Design, Product, and Suppliers to ensure garments are right first time — on fit, cost, quality, and delivery.
Key Responsibilities
* Create, check, and manage tech packs, specs, measurements, and workbooks to a factory-ready standard
* Translate design intent into practical, production-viable garments
* Measure and review samples across proto, SMS, PPS, and pre-production stages
* Support and contribute to fit sessions, issuing clear, decisive fit and construction comments
* Advise on fabric selection, trims, and construction methods with performance, durability, and cost in mind
* Work directly with suppliers on pricing, MOQs, lead times, and technical feasibility
* Flag early any design or fabric choices that will impact FOB cost, margin, or delivery
* Liaise daily with offshore factories to drive speed, accuracy, and consistency
* Ensure garments meet quality, fit, and compliance standards
* Support problem-solving where sampling or production issues arise
Key Requirements
* Proven experience as a Garment Technologist within streetwear, sportswear, or casual apparel
* Strong technical understanding of garment construction, fit, fabrics, and pattern interpretation
* Experience across jersey, fleece, woven, and casual sportswear categories
* Strong commercial awareness — understands how fabric, fit, and construction affect price and margin
* Comfortable working in a fast-paced, reactive environment
* Confident managing tech packs and factory communication end-to-end
* Highly organised, practical, and delivery-focused
* Strong Excel and MS Office skills
