Garment Compliance Coordinator in Derby

Garment Compliance Coordinator, Office based in Derby, £30-35k 6 months FTC

Are you experienced within garments, textiles, product compliance or technical administration within the clothing or textile industry and looking for a varied temporary role where you can quickly make an impact?

We are recruiting for an established apparel business that has developed strong compliance, CSR and supply-chain processes and now needs additional support following a change within its garment technical team. This is a hands-on position supporting the day-to-day administration and coordination behind garment compliance, product information, labelling, testing and supplier documentation.

This could suit someone with around 2–3 years’ experience within garment technology, textile compliance, sourcing, product administration or a similar technical environment, who is organised, detail-focused and comfortable working with suppliers, product information and compliance documentation.

Working closely with the wider Product and Compliance teams, you will support areas including:

• Maintaining garment and product compliance documentation.
• Supporting product specification sheets and technical information.
• Checking and maintaining product labelling information.
• Coordinating garment testing documentation and test reports.
• Maintaining supplier, factory and accreditation records.
• Supporting REACH, OEKO-TEX and other relevant textile compliance information.
• Assisting with packaging and product compliance requirements.
• Supporting customer requests for ESG, CSR, testing and factory documentation.
• Keeping compliance records and supporting documents accurate and up to date.
• Liaising with suppliers to obtain missing technical or compliance information.
• Assisting with supply-chain mapping and traceability information.
• Supporting ongoing regulatory and compliance projects.
• Helping the wider team keep on top of new and changing textile requirements.

You don’t need to be a senior Compliance Manager for this role. What is important is that you understand the importance of accuracy, traceability and documentation within a garment, textile or product environment.

You may currently be working as a:

• Garment Technologist
• Assistant Garment Technologist
• Technical Coordinator
• Product Compliance Coordinator
• Compliance Administrator
• Sourcing Coordinator
• Product Technologist
• Technical Administrator

Ideally, you will have:

• Previous experience within garments, textiles, fashion, workwear or a related product environment.
• Around 2–3 years’ experience within technical, compliance, sourcing or product administration.
• Experience working with product specifications, testing, labelling or supplier documentation.
• Strong administration and organisational skills.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Confidence communicating with suppliers and internal departments.
• Good Excel and general systems skills.
• The ability to pick up existing processes quickly and keep work moving.

Experience of garment compliance, factory accreditations, REACH, OEKO-TEX, ethical sourcing or CSR would be particularly useful but isn’t essential across every area.

This is a great opportunity to join a business that already takes garment compliance seriously and has invested significantly in understanding its supply chain and regulatory responsibilities.

Rather than coming into an environment where everything needs to be built from scratch, you will be helping maintain and support established processes at a time when legislation and customer requirements continue to increase.

The initial requirement is expected to be 6 months, providing important additional support to the existing team. Please apply via LinkedIn.
