Attend regular design, development, and production meetings to track progress against critical paths and delivery timelines.
Apply strong garment construction knowledge to ensure products are functional, protective, commercially and technically viable and manufacturable at scale.
Maintain organised archives of samples, trims, fabrics, accessories, and development materials.
