Job description

In the role of Senior Interior Designer, you'll be responsible for design in all phases of a project, demonstrating a master level knowledge of the interior design process from programming through construction administration. You will lead the interior design team on projects of any size or complexity, delegating to and supervising the work of others. Professional communication, presentation, and client management skills are required, along with the ability to document and present design concepts to all project stakeholders and industry peers.

A strong working knowledge of Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp / Rhino (or similar), the Adobe Creative Suite, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office is required.
