Job description

Design the Vision. Deliver the Detail.

The most rewarding spaces are the ones you help bring to life, not just the ones you imagine. If you combine a designer’s creativity with the technical precision to see a project through on-site, this opportunity puts both strengths to work.

Our client, a growing luxury interior design and construction company in Riyadh, is seeking an Interior Design Engineer to turn client ambitions into thoughtfully designed, carefully executed interiors.

A compelling concept is only the beginning. The real achievement is preserving its character through every drawing, material selection, and finishing detail.

In this role, you’ll connect creative direction with practical delivery. Working closely with clients, design teams, contractors, and suppliers, you’ll help ensure that finished spaces reflect the approved vision while meeting functional requirements and project timelines.

For a hands‑on designer, this is an opportunity to stay involved where your decisions matter: from the first client conversation to the final site inspection.

About Our Client

Our client specialises in luxury interior design and construction execution for corporate and private clients. Based in Riyadh, the company manages projects across the full lifecycle, bringing together concept development, design, project management, and on‑site delivery.Its work requires more than visual appeal. Every project calls for an understanding of how a space should look, function, and be built. You’ll contribute to the full process, working where design intent meets materials, craftsmanship, and client expectations.

What You’ll Own

You’ll take an active role across the design and execution journey, with responsibilities that extend beyond the drawing board.

• Translate client ambitions into a clear design direction. Develop mood boards, color schemes, and material palettes that balance aesthetic preferences with the practical needs of each space. Create photorealistic visualizations using 3ds Max with V-Ray or Corona to help clients understand and confidently approve the concept.


• Turn approved concepts into buildable details. Produce accurate Revit and AutoCAD execution drawings, architectural layouts, joinery details, and finishing specifications that give execution teams clear guidance.


• Bring the right materials into the finished space. Source and evaluate materials, select and approve samples, coordinate with suppliers, negotiate terms, and manage delivery schedules to support project progress.


• Protect design quality on-site. Conduct regular visits during finishing stages, review work against approved drawings, and collaborate with contractors to resolve discrepancies and practical challenges.


• Keep clients informed and projects moving. Lead design presentations, explain recommendations clearly, communicate progress, and address design questions as they arise throughout execution.

What Makes You Successful

• You’re a designer who cares as much about how a space is built as how it looks. You can move confidently between creative exploration, technical documentation, and on‑site problem‑solving without losing sight of the client’s priorities.


• You hold a bachelor’s degree in Interior Design, Interior Architecture, or Architectural Engineering, supported by proven experience in both concept development and on‑site finishing supervision.


• Your technical capabilities include strong proficiency in 3ds Max, Revit, AutoCAD, and Photoshop, alongside a sound understanding of materials, furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E), joinery, and interior construction details. Additional skills in SketchUp, Lumion, or V-Ray are an advantage.


• You understand the Saudi design, construction, events, and luxury projects market. Just as importantly, you communicate effectively, handle client requirements thoughtfully, and coordinate multiple projects under tight deadlines.


• Your portfolio should tell the complete project story: initial concepts, 3D renders, execution drawings, and photographs of completed spaces.

What’s In It for You

This opportunity brings together the creative and technical sides of interior design in one role. You’ll work on luxury interiors, engage directly with clients, and stay connected to the execution of your designs rather than handing them off at the visualisation stage.

The breadth of the work offers practical opportunities to deepen your expertise in material selection, supplier coordination, construction detailing, and site supervision while contributing to a growing business in Riyadh.
