• Maintain accurate and up-to-date interior design drawing and document registers within Procore.
• Review hotel operator and tenant design submissions for compliance with project design guidelines and operational requirements.
• Provide technical input on FF&E, materials, finishes and fit‑out specifications to support quality, functionality and coordinated delivery.
• Liaise with construction, commercial, cost control, leasing and property management teams to resolve design matters and support informed decisions.
• Contribute to early‑stage feasibility assessments, including interior design scope, standards and indicative costs.
• Attend site visits as required to support the resolution of interior design and coordination issues.
