• Space plan for a variety of retail and branch layouts
• Select finishes and FF&E from a pre-approved library
• Liaise with stakeholders, contractors, and consultants
• Ensure compliance with UK building regs and accessibility standards

• Strong AutoCAD and Adobe Creative Suite skills
• Solid knowledge of UK H&S and building regulations
• Confident communicator and project coordinator
• Self-starter attitude – it’s a newly created role, so there’s room to shape it
