Your Next Chapter

This is a chance to become the technical backbone of a growing Australian essentials brand. Reporting to the Design Lead, you will take garments from design handover through to bulk production, owning fit, specification and quality at every step. In a small team, your voice carries real weight: you will sit in fit sessions alongside design, shape decisions on sizing and construction, and see your input land directly in product customers wear every day.

If you are ready to step beyond a single slice of the process and own the full journey, this is a timely move.

Good Company

You will join a young, ambitious team based in Melbourne, creating everyday essentials built around comfort, considered function and a genuine commitment to sustainability. The culture is collaborative and creative, made up of people who enjoy building things together. Because the team is small, you will work closely with design, product and production, and your work on fit and quality will directly shape how the brand grows and how customers feel in its pieces.

- Translating design handovers into detailed, production-ready tech packs
- Running fit sessions with the Design Lead, refining every style to achieve optimal fit
- Managing specifications and bulk grading from handover through to pre-production approval
