Senior Garment Technician
Lingerie & Performance Apparel
Full Time | Gold Coast, QLD
About DTL
At DTL, we're on a mission to create activewear and lingerie that genuinely works for women of every shape and size.
We design products from XS to 4X Curve, with sports bras ranging from A to J cups, and we're constantly pushing ourselves to create garments that provide better support, comfort and confidence than anything else on the market.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Senior Garment Technician to join our team and help lead the next generation of product innovation.
A Note From Our Founder
Hi, I'm Rhi, Founder of DTL.
When I started DTL, my goal wasn't to create "just another activewear brand."
I wanted to solve problems that women had simply accepted for years.
As we've grown, so have the challenges we're tackling.
We're designing products for fuller busts and curve sizes that many brands won't attempt because they're technically difficult.
They require countless fit sessions, endless sampling and a willingness to challenge the way garments have always been made.
That's exactly why I'm looking for someone who loves solving complex technical problems.
Someone who gets excited by construction.
Someone who enjoys testing new ideas.
Someone who wants to build products that genuinely improve women's lives.
If that sounds like you, I'd love to meet you.
About the Role
This is far more than a traditional garment technician role.
You'll work directly alongside our Founder to develop innovative lingerie, sports bras and activewear, taking products from concept through to production.
You'll be responsible for ensuring every garment meets our exceptionally high standards for fit, support, comfort, performance and quality.
You'll collaborate closely with our offshore manufacturing partners, refine technical construction methods and continuously seek opportunities to improve our products through innovation.




If you've ever wanted the opportunity to help redefine women's lingerie and activewear, this is it.
Key Responsibilities
• Lead technical development across lingerie, sports bras, activewear and stretch apparel.
• Develop detailed technical packs including garment specifications, construction details, grading and measurements.
• Review samples and provide comprehensive technical fit comments.
• Conduct fit sessions and recommend technical improvements.
• Collaborate directly with offshore manufacturers throughout the development process.
• Troubleshoot construction and production issues.
• Develop innovative construction techniques that improve fit, support and comfort.

• Partner closely with Design to bring new concepts to life while maintaining manufacturability.

• Maintain accurate technical documentation throughout product development.
• Continuously identify opportunities to improve existing products.
About You
We're looking for someone who is highly technical, naturally curious and genuinely passionate about creating better products for women.
You'll bring:
• A qualification in Fashion, Garment Construction, Patternmaking or a related discipline.
• 5+ years' experience as a Garment Technician, Technical Designer or Product Developer.
• Extensive experience working with lingerie, sports bras, activewear or technical stretch garments.




• Strong knowledge of garment construction, grading, fit and pattern interpretation.
• Experience developing products from concept through to bulk production.
• Demonstrated experience working directly with offshore manufacturers.
• Advanced understanding of garment specifications, technical packs and production processes.
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
Experience with CAD software is highly regarded.
• Exceptional attention to detail and outstanding organisational skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• The ability to manage multiple product development timelines simultaneously.
• A proactive mindset with the confidence to question traditional construction methods and explore new ideas.
What Success Looks Like
You'll help us:
• Develop industry-leading sports bras for fuller busts.
• Create innovative products that set new standards within women's activewear.
• Improve fit, support and comfort across every collection.
• Build technical processes that allow Duke The Label to continue growing globally.
Most importantly, you'll know the products you've helped create are making thousands of women feel more confident, supported and comfortable every day.
Why Join Duke The Label?
This is a rare prospect to work directly with a Founder who is deeply involved in product development and genuinely passionate about innovation.
You'll have the freedom to test ideas, challenge conventional thinking and create products that many brands simply won't attempt because they're too difficult.
Every sample, every adjustment and every technical decision you make will contribute to building garments that have a real impact on women's lives.
If you're someone who thrives on solving technical challenges, loves innovation and wants to be part of building something truly different, we'd love to hear from you.
