AutoCAD Draughtsman

🧩 Key ResponsibilitiesPattern Making & Grading Develop precise garment patterns for shirts, pants, skirts, tunics, kurtis, pyjamas, T-shirts, and hosiery items using CAD software (e.g., Gemini CAD, Optitex, Lectra, or Tukatech). Grade patterns according to size charts provided by the design or merchandising team. Ensure correct proportions and alignment for each size range (Nursery to Class 12). Marker Planning & Fabric Utilization Prepare efficient marker layouts to minimize fabric wastage. Plan markers for both woven and knit fabrics (school uniform & hosiery lines). Work closely with the cutting department to ensure smooth workflow and accuracy in marker output. Design File & Data Management Maintain digital libraries of patterns, markers, and size charts with clear version control. Label and archive files systematically for repeat or modified orders. Export layouts for plotter printing and coordinate with the cutting team for plotting schedules. Coordination Collaborate with sampling, stitching, and quality teams to ensure correct fit and shape. Work with the merchandising team to update measurement changes or design revisions. Communicate pattern-related issues or fabric optimization suggestions to the production head. Quality & Process Control Verify fit and fall during sample testing and make corrections as required. Ensure patterns are compatible with both woven (shirts, trousers) and knit fabrics (T-shirts, hosiery). Maintain accuracy within acceptable tolerance levels for school uniform standards. 🧠 Skills & RequirementsStrong knowledge of garment CAD software (Gemini, Lectra, or equivalent). Understanding of pattern making, grading, and marker planning. Experience with both textile and hosiery garment construction. Knowledge of school uniform fittings and standardized sizing. Basic understanding of fabric shrinkage, cutting allowances, and stitching flow. Attention to detail, teamwork, and time management skills.
