London, UK
Architectural/interior design assistant
at MOMO & CO. Design
MOMO & CO. Design is looking for architectural/interior design assistant to join its team in London.
MOMO & CO. Design is on the hunt for a talented and experienced architectural design assistant/interior designer to join us and grow with us at our new studio here in Southfields village, right next to Wimbledon tennis.
We specialise in the full refurbishment and styling of family homes around SW London and ideally looking for someone with experience and enthusiasm in this area.
This is a great opportunity to join our young team and really get some hands-on experience. You will be involved in every aspect of our projects from conceptual design – into the detail – and during the build through to completion.
We’ve tried to be as specific as possible for this role so please do read through the job description below carefully.
If it sounds like something you’d be totally amazing at – then we want to hear from you!
Don’t be put off if you don’t meet the full technical requirements. It is far more important to us to find the right person who shares our values and will be the right fit.
This person must:
- have at least one to two years of in-the-field, architectural or interior design experience. If you have a design degree or certificate, then amazing – but we’re more looking for someone with industry experience
- have great communication skills and feel confident and comfortable talking to our clients, consultants, trade suppliers, builders, etc. We want a happy, chatty, personable person
- be well-versed with AutoCAD, SketchUp and Excel. If you can use Adobe Photoshop, 3D rendering programs or any other presentation skills, then that would be awesome – but not required
- knowledge of the home renovation process and various stages is important. Working knowledge of construction methods and materials is helpful
- any knowledge on building regulations, and the planning policies of Wandsworth, LBHF, RBKC and Westminster Councils is a major plus
- must be a highly motivated self-starter, who is willing to help out wherever required within our young design company. Organisation and follow through are key – if you are an amazing note taker, you’ll be just fine
- this is important… you must have a good attitude, particularly when situations get demanding. We like to surround ourselves with positive and creative people who look for solutions and projects… not problems
- living in SW London would be an advantage, as you’ll be able to better understand the local area, the community, etc. These are our people
On a daily basis you’ll:
- help prepare, manage and maintain all project files, correspondence, drawings, etc.
- assist with measured surveys and be able to draw up scaled plans, sections and elevations of our clients properties
- provide assistance in the creation of preliminary plans and design concepts, including the design of new extensions specific to our client’s requirements (we are not a copy, paste repeat factory)
- assist with drawing up detailed design packages for tender, including servicing and lighting layouts, custom joinery designs, bathroom and kitchen design, etc.
- carry out research of recent planning approvals and policies
- submit planning applications and prepare all supporting documentation to submit to the local Councils of Wandsworth, LBHF, RBKC and Westminster
- obtain samples and create palettes/mood boards
- assist throughout our project management process by attending site visits and following up with anything needed to move things forward (eg. liaising with suppliers, sub-contractors, revisions to drawings, construction details, tracking progress, contract administration duties, etc.)
- communicate clearly with other team members and clients, so that we can provide regular updates… communication is vital
In your CV, please include anything that is relevant to your design and style. If you have a blog, send a link. Same with Instagram, Twitter feed, Pinterest… whatever you want us to see to show us who you are!
