We’re looking for an exceptional Senior Patternmaker to join a premium womenswear business and play a key role in bringing beautiful, technically complex designs to life.

• Predominantly digital patternmaking, with manual pattern cutting and draping
• Work closely with Design, Development and Machinists to bring concepts to life
• Develop and refine complex, structured and fluid garments
• Lead fittings and solve pattern, fit and construction challenges
• Grade production-ready patterns across the full size range
• Help maintain and elevate the brand’s signature fit, silhouette and patternmaking handwriting

What we're looking for

• 5+ years' senior patternmaking experience in premium, luxury or technically complex womenswear, bridal or lingerie. 
• Exceptional manual and digital patternmaking skills
• Lectra preferred, however strong Gerber or other digital system experience will be considered
• Advanced draping, fitting and garment construction knowledge
• Experience with corsetry, lingerie, bridal, occasionwear or complex womenswear highly regarded
• Strong understanding of fabrics, fit and construction
• Someone who can interpret and elevate a design, not simply execute it

Salary is open and will be based on experience — we’re focused on finding the right person.
