Textile technologists undertake a wide variety of technical, investigative and quality control work on textiles. They advise manufacturers on methods of garment construction, sizing, and quality and aim to improve the production efficiency, cost and quality of products. Textile technologists have scientific knowledge of the structure and properties of textiles, as well as the conversion of fibers or filaments to all types of textiles, such as spinning, weaving, knitting, the manufacture of non-woven materials, dyeing, printing and finishing. Like other engineering technologists, they focus their work in areas such as research and development, manufacturing, sales, quality control and maintenance....
