Mid-Weight Interior Designer
Salary: £35,000–£45,000, DOE
Location: London
Working pattern: Hybrid (2 days in studio)
Software: AutoCAD, SketchUp (Enscape a bonus)
Sector: Retail, Hospitality, Museum & Heritage, Workplace
About the Studio
This is a consultancy with fifteen years of varied, high-quality work behind it and a client list that covers a genuinely impressive spread of sectors. Retail, hospitality, museum and heritage, workplace, airports: they do it all, and they do it well. You might find them one month designing an immersive cycling store in the north of England, and the next delivering a new visitor experience for one of the UK's most beloved cultural institutions. The breadth is real, and it keeps things interesting.
What ties all of it together is a rigorous, research-led approach. This is not a studio that jumps straight to aesthetics. They start with the customer, understand the business problem, and then apply creativity and technical knowledge to solve it. That combination of strategic thinking and considered design is what has earned them long-standing relationships with some well-known names across fashion, travel, heritage, and specialist retail.
The team is collaborative, curious, and clearly proud of what they make. If you are looking for a place where the thinking matters as much as the drawing, this one is worth your attention.
About the Role
This is a mid-weight position for someone who has found their feet as a designer and is ready to take on more. You will be working across a range of live projects simultaneously, contributing from concept through to technical delivery, and building your confidence across a genuinely varied project mix.
Day to day, you will be producing spatial layouts, developing design concepts, drawing up technical packages, and working closely with senior designers and project managers to bring schemes to life on site. The projects span retail environments, hospitality spaces, cultural destinations, and commercial interiors, so no two months will look quite the same. If you have strong technical skills in AutoCAD and SketchUp and you are keen to develop your craft in a studio that genuinely invests in the process behind the work, this is a solid next step.
Your Days Will Look Something Like This...
- Develop interior design concepts from initial brief through to detailed design, working across retail, hospitality, cultural, and commercial projects
- Produce accurate AutoCAD drawings including floor plans, elevations, sections, and detailed construction drawings for client presentations and contractor packages
- Build and refine SketchUp models to support design development and client communication, with Enscape visualisations where relevant
- Prepare design presentation materials, mood boards, and scheme documents to a high standard for client-facing meetings
- Collaborate with senior designers and project managers to develop technical specifications, material schedules, and FF&E selections
- Liaise with suppliers, contractors, and clients as required, supporting the wider team through delivery and on-site phases
- Contribute to multiple concurrent projects, managing your own workload and flagging any programme risks to the team in good time
- Stay across industry trends, materials, and emerging suppliers to bring fresh thinking to the studio's design process
You Might Be Our Perfect Match If...
- You have around three to five years of professional interior design experience, ideally with some exposure to retail, hospitality, or commercial environments
- Your AutoCAD skills are solid and dependable: you can produce a clean, accurate technical drawing package without it being a struggle
- You are comfortable working in SketchUp and confident using it to develop and communicate design ideas
- Enscape is a genuine bonus: if you can produce a compelling visualisation, that will be warmly received
- You have a good eye for space, materiality, and detail, and you understand how design decisions translate into real, built environments
- You can hold your own in a client-facing conversation and present your ideas clearly, whether in a meeting or on paper
- You are organised, proactive, and self-sufficient enough to manage your own workload across multiple live projects
- A degree in interior design, interior architecture, or a related discipline is expected
