About: Premier’s focus is on creating trend-setting styles for staff working in the Hospitality, Corporate, Beauty and Healthcare industries. Using beautiful fabrics and a vibrant colour palette, we help businesses reinforce their brand personality through playful and practical uniform choices.

Our clothes provide the perfect base for print or embroidery application and can be purchased from thousands of resellers across the United Kingdom and Europe.

Product design and development is done in-house by a team of highly talented garment technologists and along with an effective marketing and customers services function, we are extremely proud of our brand and the reputation we have earned as being Europe’s leading supplier of uniforms.

At Premier, we provide the canvas upon which global brands build their identity. We lead the industry with a spectrum of over 60 vibrant colours, merging high-end design with the rigorous demands of the modern workplace. From Michelin-star kitchens to luxury boutiques, our garments are the "First Impression" for thousands of businesses worldwide.

Our 2026 range is already pushing the boundaries of "Easy Care" fabrics and architectural cuts. Now, we are looking for a meticulous and creative Product Development Assistant to help us engineer the next generation of professional apparel.

The Opportunity: From Concept to Global Scale

Working directly alongside our experienced Product Developer, you will be at the heart of our garment lifecycle. This is a role for someone who appreciates the technical "Form and Function" of a garment—understanding that a pocket’s placement is as critical as the fabric’s hand-feel.

Please note this is not a remote working role, so the successful candidate needs to live within a daily commutable distance to Deeside CH5 2UA

The Product Development Assistant's Mission

  • Garment Evolution: Assist in the end-to-end development of new styles, ensuring every piece meets our strict standards for durability, modernity, and "Easy Care" performance
  • Global Liaison: Act as a key point of contact for our Far East manufacturing partners. You will help manage the flow of technical specifications, samples, and feedback to ensure our vision is translated perfectly into the final product
  • Quality Curation: Review and analyse fit samples, fabric strike-offs, and colour lab dips to maintain our reputation as the industry’s "Colour Authority"
  • Trend & Technical Insight: Stay ahead of sector-specific needs—whether it’s the four-way stretch required for the spa industry or the heat-management needs of a busy kitchen

The Professional Edge: Who You Are:

  • You are a design-led professional with a passion for garment construction and a "customer-first" mindset. You understand that a uniform is a tool that boosts staff confidence and customer trust
  • Detail-Oriented: You have a keen eye for detail, from stitching quality to colour consistency across different fabric weights
  • Communicator: You are comfortable working with international suppliers, navigating time zones and technical requirements with professional poise
  • Collaborative: You enjoy the mentorship of an experienced developer and are eager to learn the nuances of global supply chain management
  • Background: A degree in Fashion/Textile Technology or equivalent industry experience – A graduate will be considered.
  • Proficiency with Adobe Illustrator
  • A solid understanding of garment tech-packs

Why Join Premier:

  • Based in our Deeside headquarters, you’ll join a team that values dependability as much as creativity. We offer a professional environment where your contribution directly impacts the look and feel of businesses across the globe
  • Opportunity to work on a diverse, market-leading product range
  • Exposure to international manufacturing and global design trends
  • A culture that celebrates the "First Impression" and the power of a perfectly executed brand identity
