  Use CorelDRAW and vector-based artwork to prepare branding designs, including sizing, positioning, mirroring, and layout adjustments to suit different garments and finishes.
• Checking orders and paperwork
  Review job sheets and pick slips carefully to ensure garments, sizes, colours, and branding instructions are correct before production begins.
• Managing production and quality
  Work to fast‑paced production schedules while maintaining excellent quality and consistency across all orders.
• Working as part of a wider team
  Collaborate closely with colleagues in Branding & Embroidery, as well as Internal Sales and Warehouse teams, supporting other tasks when required especially during busy periods.

What It’s Like to Work in the Team

Your colleagues would describe the role as fast‑paced, rewarding, and hands‑on.

• Our team are friendly and supportive team.
• Seeing the finished product come together, especially on big projects.
• It’s more involved than people realize, but once you learn the process it’s incredibly satisfying.
• It’s great spotting uniforms we’ve created out in the community.

What We’re Looking For

• A positive, can‑do attitude with a willingness to learn new skills.
• Strong attention to detail and pride in producing high quality work.
• An accuracy‑driven mindset; you care about getting things right the first time.
• Ability to work to deadlines without sacrificing quality.
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team.
• Basic IT skills with good numeracy and literacy.
• Eligible to work in the UK and able to work on‑site in Inverness.
