Garment Technologist

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
UK-based candidates with the right to work only.
