As the demand for skilled professionals in textile quality increases worldwide, Taiga Apparel’s MTO program provides a career pathway into a vital and rewarding area of apparel production. The company invites young, motivated engineers with a sharp eye for detail and a commitment to excellence to begin their journey in the textile industry with Taiga.
Job Description
The Management Trainee Officer (Quality Control) role at Taiga Apparel is an entry-level position designed to introduce recent textile engineering graduates to the fundamentals of quality management in apparel manufacturing. This position is structured to provide on-the-job learning under the supervision of senior managers while gradually increasing the level of responsibility as the trainee gains experience.
The MTO will begin their journey by understanding the basics of quality standards in the textile industry. This includes familiarization with global compliance requirements, buyer-specific quality expectations, and internal quality assurance protocols used by Taiga Apparel. From day one, the trainee will be involved in real-time quality processes and will work alongside skilled professionals who will guide them through various aspects of inspection and analysis.
A core responsibility is assisting in the implementation of quality control procedures throughout the production process. This includes conducting in-line and end-line inspections, monitoring stitching quality, checking fabric performance, and ensuring that garments meet design and functional standards. The trainee will learn how to use measurement tools, quality inspection sheets, and audit checklists to evaluate product consistency.
The MTO will participate in various inspection stages—starting from raw material checks to final product audits. In raw material inspection, the trainee will learn how to verify fabric construction, shrinkage levels, GSM, color fastness, and hand feel. During in-line and final inspections, the MTO will help assess seam strength, stitch per inch, finishing, labeling, and packing accuracy.
A vital part of the job involves collaborating with production teams to resolve quality-related issues. The MTO will be expected to communicate clearly and professionally with line supervisors, machine operators, and floor managers. Whether the issue is a recurring stitching defect, fabric flaw, or sizing inconsistency, the MTO will be part of the investigation and solution implementation process.
The role also includes preparing daily and weekly quality reports for management. These reports help identify trends in quality performance, highlight critical defects, and propose corrective actions. The MTO will be trained in using basic quality management software or spreadsheets to compile this data accurately and present it in a structured format.
As the MTO gains experience, they will be encouraged to participate in root cause analysis sessions, where teams discuss quality breakdowns and process failures. This is a learning opportunity for the MTO to understand how decisions are made, what preventive steps can be taken, and how cross-functional collaboration contributes to production success.
Another responsibility is maintaining documentation related to quality procedures, inspection logs, and defect analysis. Proper documentation is essential not only for internal reviews but also for external audits by clients or certification bodies. The MTO will be trained in record-keeping best practices and will be expected to maintain accuracy and confidentiality in all reporting tasks.
In addition to the above, the MTO may be assigned additional tasks by the Head of Department. These could include participating in buyer visits, assisting in factory audits, helping develop training material for line workers, or supporting compliance documentation. These assignments are intended to broaden the trainee’s exposure and provide well-rounded professional development.
Throughout the training program, the MTO will work closely with a designated supervisor or mentor. Feedback sessions will be held periodically to assess progress, address challenges, and set future learning goals. By the end of the training period, the MTO is expected to have gained a practical understanding of quality systems and be ready to take on independent responsibilities.
This role provides a solid foundation in textile manufacturing quality systems and offers a stepping-stone to higher positions such as Quality Supervisor, Compliance Officer, or Process Analyst. It is best suited for individuals who are proactive, observant, and passionate about the textile industry.

The degree must be from a reputable institution recognized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan. Priority will be given to candidates who have completed coursework in textile testing, garment manufacturing, quality control, production planning, and industrial engineering.

This includes internships completed during university in production, quality control, inspection, or compliance departments. Candidates should be ready to discuss their internship experiences in detail, highlighting what they learned and how it applies to this role.
Strong analytical skills are essential. Candidates must be able to observe and evaluate quality performance, identify minor defects, and interpret technical data accurately. The ability to apply a systematic approach to problem-solving and demonstrate logical thinking will be highly valued.
Attention to detail is a key requirement. Quality assurance involves repetitive inspections and measurements where precision matters. Candidates must be able to concentrate on tasks for extended periods and ensure that no defect goes unnoticed.
Good communication skills are necessary for this role. The MTO will be required to prepare reports, attend meetings, and communicate inspection findings to different stakeholders. Fluency in English and Urdu, both spoken and written, is important. Candidates who are confident speaking in front of small groups or presenting findings in writing will have an advantage.
Teamwork is an important part of the culture at Taiga Apparel. Candidates should be open to collaboration and willing to contribute to group tasks. A positive attitude, respect for others, and a willingness to accept feedback are all qualities that will be considered during the selection process.
Candidates must be comfortable working on the production floor. This includes spending long hours in the factory, observing operations, and communicating with production staff. Adaptability and stamina are important. The role may require early morning or late evening shifts, depending on production needs.
Computer literacy is also expected. Candidates should be familiar with basic tools like Microsoft Excel and Word. Experience with any quality management software or ERP system is a plus but not required.
A growth mindset is essential. The company values individuals who are curious, self-motivated, and eager to improve. Candidates should demonstrate a desire to learn about quality systems, manufacturing technologies, and industry trends.
Finally, all applicants must align with Taiga Apparel’s commitment to equal opportunity and workplace ethics. The company encourages applications from candidates of all backgrounds and treats all employees fairly and respectfully.
