In this position the Interior Designer takes direct ownership of portions of the interiors scope, with the competence to assume responsibility for accuracy and quality of work. The role calls for a strong design sensibility balanced with technical knowledge of detailing, finishes, and FF&E, along with the ability to produce compelling presentation materials that clearly communicate design intent.

• Construction phase responsibilities, including review of interiors submittals, shop drawings, and RFIs, as well as site visits to confirm adherence to design intent
• Conduct material and product research with attention to durability, maintenance, lead times, cost, and material health
• Support project sustainability and wellness goals through healthy, low-impact material selection and related documentation
• Maintain the materials library and keep vendor and product resources current.
• Quality assurance for self-performed work, and support of junior staff in documentation and design graphics

Requirements:
