Modular Design & Build Pte. Ltd. Working Location: Stellar @ Tampines

About the Role

We are looking for an Interior Designer who is passionate about understanding homeowners, developing ideas and turning their vision into practical, well-planned spaces.

At Modular Design & Build, our designers are not expected to simply follow templates. You will work closely with homeowners, project coordinators, suppliers and contractors to develop design solutions that are creative, functional and realistic to build.

Key Responsibilities

• Meet homeowners to understand their lifestyle, requirements, preferences and design ideas.

• Develop design concepts, mood boards, material selections and space-planning proposals.

• Translate homeowners’ ideas into practical and buildable design solutions.

• Prepare space plans, furniture layouts, carpentry concepts and design presentations.

• Work closely with 3D designers and drafters to prepare visual presentations and drawings.

• Recommend suitable materials, finishes, colours, fittings and products according to the design intent and budget.

• Prepare and review design specifications before commencement of works.

• Coordinate with project coordinators, contractors, suppliers and trades to ensure the design is properly executed on site.

• Attend site meetings, measurements and project discussions when required.

• Monitor design-related issues during construction and provide practical solutions when changes are required.

• Communicate regularly with homeowners and keep them updated on design decisions and progress.

• Maintain proper documentation of design selections, drawings, amendments and approvals.

What We Are Looking For

We welcome fresh graduate or personal with exceptional desgin talent and 3D skills

• Diploma or Degree in Interior Design, Interior Architecture or a related field.

• Relevant interior design or renovation experience is preferred.

• Strong understanding of space planning, materials, carpentry and residential interiors.

• Ability to communicate design ideas clearly to homeowners and project teams.

• Good problem-solving skills and willingness to work through practical site constraints.

The Kind of Designer We Want

We are looking for someone who listens before designing.

A good designer at Modular should be able to understand what the homeowner is trying to achieve, improve the idea where necessary and make sure the final design can actually be built.

We value designers who are creative, practical, responsible and willing to work closely with the construction team instead of treating design and site execution as separate processes.

Why Join Modular

At Modular Design & Build, you will have the opportunity to be involved from the first conversation with the homeowner through to the completed space.

You will have room to contribute your own ideas, develop your design experience and work alongside a growing team that believes good design should be both beautiful and practical.

Design with purpose. Solve real problems. Build spaces people are proud to call home.
