  • Action fit insights and assists in reconstructing samples to reflect pattern modifications or functionality improvements
  • Ensure all samples intended for the factory provide an accurate and reliable reference for stitching, panel assembly, and finishing techniques
  • Support the product team by assisting in hands-on workshops and training sessions to foster a stronger understanding of garment construction
  • Manage production timelines efficiently to ensure samples are completed within development deadlines

Requirements:

  • Proven experience in garment construction, with high proficiency in handling both woven and technical stretch fabric variations
  • Versatile machine skills, with the ability to operate and adapt a range of industrial equipment including flatlock, seam sealing, and heat-press machines
  • Ability to interpret patterns and technical drawings accurately, translating them into high-precision samples or mock-ups
