Job description

Position: Freelance Interior Designer (No, Seriously, Let’s Build Cool Stuff Together)

Location: GTA-ish (Remote-ish, On-site-ish – we’re flexible but not intergalactic)

Company: 51Wood Ltd. (Yes, we do wood. And a lot more.)

Who Are We?

We’re 51Wood, your friendly neighborhood cabinetry and millwork crew with 20+ years of making kitchens, closets, and boardrooms feel like architecture just got a hug. We’re part of the ever-expanding 51Group, which includes 51Builders (construction), 51Cool (HVAC magic), 51Excavation (yes, we dig), and the soon-to-launch 51Studio—our new brainchild.

What’s 51Studio?

Think: The Avengers but for design. 51Studio will be a creative powerhouse made up of interior designers and architects, operating independently from 51Wood but fully plugged into 51Group’s project ecosystem. It’ll be where design leads the way, and where your ideas actually get built—with fewer compromises and zero beige walls (unless you insist).

Why This Matters Now

We currently have two active projects that need interior design direction—like, right now. And 51Studio will be the dedicated design arm for all current and future projects under the 51Group umbrella, including our spirited siblings: 51Builder, 51Cool, 51Excavation, and more soon-to-be-numbered ventures.

What’s in It for You?

• Real, funded projects (no speculative render farms here)
• Access to cabinetry, millwork, HVAC, construction, and even excavation—all under one roof (well, several roofs, but one team)
• Use of our showroom, meeting rooms, and workspace to wow your clients or just enjoy coffee that isn’t instant
• In-house CNC machinery and programmers to bring your wildest millwork dreams to life
• Commission and stock options for designers who grow with us over time
• A front-row seat in shaping a brand-new design studio from the ground up (and your name might end up on our wall—real or metaphorical)
• Ad hoc workspaces where you can pretend you’re being productive

What We’re Looking For

• You’re a freelance designer with 5–10 years of battle-tested experience
• You’ve built a name for yourself and can show us why people love working with you
• Your work speaks for itself, and it says “tasteful, clever, well-detailed, and just the right amount of drama”
• You can be counted on, like a good playlist or a solid cup of coffee
• You’re excited to help shape a new studio identity and maybe get your name on the metaphorical wall (we’ll get a real one later)

If you’re tired of begging manufacturers to “please make this curve clean,” or chasing installers with Pinterest printouts, we get it. At 51Wood, we want to be your partner—not just your vendor. You design it, we build it, together we make clients cry happy tears.
