Job Description
I am a manufacturer of children’s hand knit and machine knit apparel in Peru. We do mostly high end work in hand dyed merino wool superwash. Our high end product is private labeled for the brands we produce for.
We have a few stores in Brooklyn that will be launching wholesale of the product we private labeled for them and they both need help with technical design and fitting to get sizing perfect.
There’s nothing quite like finding a perfectly sized set of clothing that fit flawlessly – from the rise to the hem to the width of the neck opening. Getting it right the first time is like discovering the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I always credit our masterful technical designers for making that ideal fit possible.
Right now I am looking to find a highly skilled children’s technical designer to freelance at first and then possibly become full time. Our team is critical, not just because they can make a shopper’s perfect-fitting dream outfit come true, but because of their work to ensure all garments and apparel fit correctly.
What should you be skilled at?
We need an enthusiastic expert to bridge the gap between design and our production team In Lima, PERÚ.

4. Provide guidance and support to us as the manufacture regarding garment construction techniques, fabric or yarn selection, and production processes
5. Maintain accurate and detailed documentation of technical specifications, patterns, and any revisions
