Senior Garment Technician & Pattern Maker

The Company

Our client creates sustainable fashion that honours and empowers the diverse female form. They craft timeless designs with intention and care, using eco-friendly materials and ethical production practices. Their philosophy, "Buy Less, Choose Well, Make it Last," underpins their slow fashion approach.

Our client is a consciously crafted clothing brand with roots in Torquay, Australia, and a heart in Bali, where each piece is ethically made. Rooted in sustainability, ethical production, and mindful living, they create timeless, versatile clothing designed for movement and everyday wear. Their collections embrace natural fibres, earthy tones, and effortless silhouettes that honour both the wearer and the world around them.

At our client, their foundation is Connection—to their community, to the Earth, and to the self. They are a place where women feel inspired, seen, and understood, and can reconnect with nature and their own right to be soft and live fully. Every decision they make is rooted in deep intention.

The Garment Technician & Pattern Maker is a key role within our client's Design team. Your mission is to own the product development process end to end — from initial sketch through to final, production-ready sample — bringing complete mastery of garment construction, pattern making, and sample development management. Working closely with the Design & Development Lead and the wider Design team, you will be the technical backbone of the development team — leading fitting sessions, pattern making and grading, technical documentation, and manufacturer coordination across all stages.

You will play a key role in improving fit consistency, product quality, and communication with manufacturers. This role is ideal for someone who is highly detail-oriented, technically minded, and passionate about garment construction, fit, and product development within a purpose-driven and sustainable brand.
