Since 1995, Mark Edwards Apparel has been a leader in the design and manufacturing of women’s and children’s apparel.

  • Work with Sales and the Fit & Technical team to clarify styling and construction details before finalizing sketches

Tech Pack Support

  • Prepare and upload technical illustrations for inclusion in tech packs
  • Revise sketches based on fit comments, styling changes, and product development updates
  • Ensure all construction details are clearly represented to minimize factory questions and errors
  • Collaborate with technicians to keep sketches consistent with technical specifications
  • Coordinate with the Fit & Technical team to ensure urgent requests are completed on time

Sketch Library Management

  • Organize and maintain technical sketches by style number and commodity
  • Build and update a reference library of garment details, construction methods, and standard components
  • Reuse and adapt existing technical illustrations to improve efficiency and consistency

  • Strong attention to detail, accuracy, and proportions
  • Ability to manage multiple requests and work within tight deadlines
  • Good communication and organizational skills

QUI SOMMES-NOUS?

Depuis 1995, Vêtements Mark Edwards est un chef de file dans la conception et la fabrication de vêtements pour femmes et enfants. Établie à Montréal, notre entreprise collabore avec d’importants détaillants en Amérique du Nord et sur les marchés internationaux afin de développer des collections tendance et commerciales qui passent rapidement du concept à la mise en marché.

Notre succès repose sur la créativité, l’agilité, la collaboration ainsi qu’une excellente compréhension de nos partenaires détaillants et de leur clientèle. Dans le cadre de notre croissance, nous sommes à la recherche de personnes talentueuses qui souhaitent contribuer, évoluer et grandir avec nous.

SOMMAIRE DU POSTE

Vêtements Mark Edwards est à la recherche d’un(e) illustrateur(trice) technique de mode minutieux(se) pour se joindre à notre équipe d’ajustement et technique.

Dans ce rôle, vous réaliserez des dessins techniques à plat en noir et blanc, précis et détaillés, destinés à nos fiches techniques (tech packs). En étroite collaboration avec l’équipe d’ajustement et technique, les ventes et le développement de produits, vous veillerez à ce que chaque modèle communique clairement à nos usines ses détails de style, de construction et de finition.

De l’analyse des nouvelles demandes et des échantillons d’origine jusqu’à la finalisation des vues de détail et à l’organisation de notre bibliothèque de dessins, vous jouerez un rôle clé pour que chaque style passe en production avec précision et dans les délais.

PRINCIPALES RESPONSABILITÉS

Réalisation des dessins techniques

  • Réaliser des dessins techniques à plat précis (devant et dos) à l’aide d’Adobe Illustrator
  • Illustrer les silhouettes, les proportions, les coutures, les surpiqûres, les garnitures, les fermetures, les poches et les autres détails de construction
  • Réaliser des vues de détail pour les éléments de construction ou de design complexes
  • S’assurer que les dessins sont propres, uniformes et adaptés à la production en usine

Interprétation et développement des styles

  • Analyser les nouvelles demandes de dessins et établir les priorités en fonction des échéances
  • Interpréter les échantillons d’origine (OG), les photos de référence, les CAD et les instructions des ventes
  • Traduire les concepts de design en illustrations techniques précises
  • Repérer l’information manquante ou contradictoire entre les références, les CAD et les échantillons
  • Collaborer avec les ventes et l’équipe d’ajustement et technique afin de clarifier les détails de style et de construction avant de finaliser les dessins

Soutien aux fiches techniques

  • Préparer et téléverser les illustrations techniques destinées aux fiches techniques
  • Réviser les dessins selon les commentaires d’ajustement, les changements de style et les mises à jour du développement de produits
  • S’assurer que tous les détails de construction sont clairement représentés afin de réduire les questions et les erreurs en usine
  • Collaborer avec les techniciens afin d’assurer la cohérence entre les dessins et les spécifications techniques
  • Coordonner avec l’équipe d’ajustement et technique afin que les demandes urgentes soient réalisées dans les délais

Gestion de la bibliothèque de dessins

  • Organiser et tenir à jour les dessins techniques par numéro de style et par catégorie de produits
  • Bâtir et mettre à jour une bibliothèque de référence de détails de vêtements, de méthodes de construction et de composantes standards
  • Réutiliser et adapter les illustrations techniques existantes afin d’améliorer l’efficacité et l’uniformité

PROFIL RECHERCHÉ

  • Diplôme en design de mode, en technologie de la mode, en production de vêtements ou dans un domaine connexe, ou expérience équivalente
  • 1 à 3 ans d’expérience dans la réalisation de dessins techniques à plat pour le vêtement

  • Capacité à gérer plusieurs demandes et à respecter des échéances serrées
  • Bonnes aptitudes en communication et en organisation
  • Une expérience en vêtements pour femmes et enfants constitue un atout
  • Une connaissance fonctionnelle de l’anglais est requise, puisque les fiches techniques et les annotations de construction sont préparées pour des usines situées à l’extérieur du Québec; le bilinguisme constitue un atout
