Job description

At 93FT, we turn bricks, steel, light, and ideas into bold, beautiful spaces. We’re looking for a dynamic Senior Interior Designer to join our growing team at 93FT – a Sheffield-based design studio known for breathing new life into spaces and brands. From hospitality to retail and residential, our projects push creative boundaries and give our team the freedom to explore. Interiors that make people feel something. If you're an experienced designer ready to lead with creativity, originality, and soul — keep reading.

Who we are

We're a multidisciplinary design studio in Sheffield with architecture, interiors, digital and brand all under one roof. We work in a building with character — an 1889 steel and iron merchant’s warehouse, now our creative hub — and we bring just as much character to our projects.

Our neighbourhood, Kelham Island, was voted one of the UK’s coolest by Time Out for a reason. Independent bakeries. Breweries. Coffee shops. A community vibe. We’re part of it — and we think you’ll love it here.

What your days might look like

You might start your day sketching a bold spatial concept over coffee, bouncing ideas amongst your team. By mid-morning, you’re walking clients through a moodboard and 3D model that captures their brand's energy in a new and dynamic way. In the afternoon, you're deep in collaboration — reviewing joinery drawings with our fabricators, or heading out to site to make sure the space feels right in person, not just on paper.

Some days you'll be leading the conversation. Other days you'll be mentoring junior designers, helping them level up their craft. You’ll shape stories through space — always with detail, always with direction, and always with heart.

What you bring to the table

You’ve done the big ideas and the detail work. You know how to bring concept and craft together — and you love the process. You understand the power of lighting, texture, materiality and layout to shift how people feel in a space. You're as comfortable pulling together a winning pitch deck as you are getting into the technical drawings.

Clients trust your instincts. Makers love your ideas. And your team knows you’ve got their back — because you lead with care, not ego.

You might not tick every box, but if you're creatively driven, technically sharp, and emotionally tuned-in — you'll thrive here.

What you bring

• A portfolio packed with standout commercial interiors
• A love of modelling in Sketchup
• Strong Vectorworks and Adobe Suite skills (2D & 3D)
• Confidence leading projects and people
• A deep curiosity for materials, craft, and detail
• Comfort in front of clients and on site
• Vision, ambition, and a love for great design

What we offer

• £37.5k - £42.5k salary with company performance-based bonuses
• We’re an Employee Owned Business — you’ll be part of it
• 25 days per annum plus bank holidays which fall on your normal working days (including 3 or 4 Days which will be automatically deducted for Christmas Shutdown)
• Pension scheme (5% employee / 3% employer)
• Parking for cars and bikes
• Team socials, exhibitions, and the occasional rooftop beer
