About DTL

/n

At DTL, we're on a mission to create activewear and lingerie that genuinely works for women of every shape and size.

/n

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.

/n

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.

/n

A Note From Our Founder

/n

Hi, I'm Rhi, Founder of DTL.

/n

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.

/n

As we've grown, so have the challenges we're tackling.

/n

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.

/n

That's exactly why I'm looking for someone who loves solving complex technical problems.

/n

Someone who gets excited by construction.

/n

Someone who enjoys testing recent ideas.

/n

Someone who wants to build products that genuinely improve women's lives.

/n

If that sounds like you, I'd love to meet you.

/n

About the Role

/n

This is far more than a traditional garment technician role.

/n

You'll work directly alongside our Founder to develop cutting-edge lingerie, sports bras and activewear, taking products from concept through to production.

/n

You'll be responsible for ensuring every garment meets our exceptionally high standards for fit, support, comfort, performance and quality.

/n

You'll collaborate closely with our offshore manufacturing partners, refine technical construction methods and continuously seek opportunities to improve our products through innovation.
