Garment Technologists and Junior Technologists (across wovens, jersey, denim and outerwear)
Join one of the UK's leading fashion retailers, a brand that has been inspiring customers with trend-led, accessible fashion for over 55 years. With a strong high street presence, a growing digital business and a genuine passion for quality, innovation and sustainability, this is an exciting opportunity to join a collaborative technical team where you'll have a real influence on the products customers love. Working within a business that values development, inclusivity and continuous improvement, you'll play a key role in delivering exceptional quality across one of the retailer's largest and most important product categories.
About the Role
As a Technologist specialising in Women's Wovens, you'll take ownership of quality across your product area, ensuring garments consistently meet customer expectations, regulatory requirements and brand standards. Working closely with Buying, Design, Merchandising and suppliers, you'll drive the implementation of the technical quality framework throughout the product lifecycle, from development through to production. You'll lead fit sessions, review testing and compliance, assess supplier capability, manage product risk, support product engineering and identify opportunities to improve quality, cost and lead times. You'll also benchmark competitors, mentor colleagues, share technical best practice and deputise for the Technical Manager when required, helping to drive continuous improvement across the wider team.
