The successful candidate must have:

• strong AutoCAD skills and be comfortable with producing detailed construction drawing packs for tender
• outstanding design and space planning skills with the ability to articulate high-quality and detailed schemes, thinking, and creating directly within a 3D environment
• excellent time management and multitasking skills, with the ability to meet tight deadlines
• outstanding communication and presentation skills, alongside the ability to liaise effectively with other team members, clients, suppliers and consultants
• passion and proven ability in specifying products, materials, furniture and lighting solutions
• high levels of team spirit with a collaborative and positive approach
• eligibility to work permanently in the UK and fluent written and spoken English
• competence in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, SketchIp and AutoCAD software
• competence in office software packages such as work, excel and teams
• competence in Google Suite platforms such as gmail, google calendar, sheets and docs
• Bachelor’s degree in interior architecture, interior design, or a related field

The successful candidate would ideally have:

• experience working on hospitality projects such as restaurants, hotels and bars
• experience working on high-end residential projects for end-users
• good understanding and basic applied knowledge of sustainable design
• awareness of Building and Fire Safety Regulations
• know how to conduct themselves on a building site safely and professionally

Practice structure and characteristics:

• boutique in scale and approach, ensuring a friendly, personal, and high-quality service to our clients
• team members collaborating seamlessly to achieve common objectives with high levels of team spirit and custodianship
• flexible approach to HR, with trust-based flexible working hours driven by allocated tasks & milestones and delivered by self-imposed priorities and disciplined, individual time management
