This is a highly technical role that requires expertise in raw materials and fibres for textile manufacturing. If you have a strong understanding of how different fibres are manufactured into textile products, fabrics, and materials, this could be the ideal opportunity for you.
The successful candidate will join our team as a Raw Materials Expert and will be responsible for sourcing the correct raw materials and fibres for production based on customer specifications. This involves managing relationships with supplier mills worldwide, visiting them to ensure robust manufacturing processes are adhered to, and factoring in sustainability.
In addition to sourcing, the role requires the ability to manage projects effectively and be the glue that holds together the product development process from start to finish. You will also be responsible for hiring and mentoring a Fabric Technologist and supporting them through their journey.
We offer a competitive salary package, including a salary in the region of £60,000 per annum, 33 days holiday, company pension, and an excellent internal support network. We are looking for someone who is resilient, flexible, and dedicated to sourcing the best materials based on customer requirements.
Requirements include having worked in a similar role as a Raw Materials or Textiles Expert, ideally with a degree in Textile Technology or equivalent. You should also have hands-on experience working with textile production mills worldwide and a sound understanding of testing and laboratory procedures.
