This hands-on role offers the opportunity to grow your design skills while working in a fast-paced, supportive environment where great ideas thrive.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Own your design narrative or support others in delivering standout presentations that resonate and inspire.

Develop clear, exciting concepts that captivate clients and bring their vision to life.

Create storyboards that energise clients and showcase our unique approach.

Research and select finishes, furniture, and equipment that elevate every project.

Attend site visits and client meetings across the UK, predominantly in the South.

Liaise with building control, fire officers, planners, and subcontractors to ensure designs meet all requirements.

Strategise, plan, and hold the room, anticipating hurdles and steering meetings with clarity and charisma.

Produce accurate office layouts at speed, ensuring functionality meets creativity.

Work with external graphic designers to produce pitch documents that align with your design language.

Manage external visualisers to bring your ideas to life in stunning detail.

Guide the project team through the tender and delivery phases, ensuring alignment with your vision.

Coordinate full documentation for furniture, finishes, and equipment with client approval.

What We’re Looking For:

A minimum of 3 years experience as a Designer.

Someone who brings energy and clarity to every conversation, making complex concepts feel simple and exciting.

A team player who knows that the best ideas come from collaboration and shared vision.

Someone who’s driven to deliver exceptional results and isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo.

A designer who listens deeply, responds thoughtfully, and builds trust through every interaction.

A natural storyteller who can translate ideas into compelling narratives that resonate with clients.

A designer who thrives on precision, balancing bold creativity with technical accuracy.

A proactive problem-solver who takes ownership and leads with confidence.

A forward-thinker who’s always exploring new trends, materials, and methods to elevate design.
