Midweight Commercial Workplace Designer in Swindon

Join Kerr and help shape workplaces that perform, persuade and inspire. At Kerr Office Group, we design and deliver workplaces where people and businesses thrive. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a commercially minded Workplace Designer who enjoys variety, ownership, and being close to clients.

This role suits a confident midweight designer who enjoys presenting ideas, influencing decision-makers, and holding creative conviction within a commercially driven, pitch-active role.

You will play a central role in both winning and delivering commercial office fit-out projects, working closely with our Senior Technical Designer. Your responsibilities may include:

• Leading and contributing to design concepts from initial pitch through to project delivery
• Creating compelling space plans, visuals, and presentation material that clearly sell a design narrative
• Presenting confidently to clients, articulating design rationale, and responding to commercial and practical challenges
• Owning the design story in pitches and proposals, working collaboratively with sales and marketing colleagues
• Developing coordinated design and technical packages that are accurate, compliant, and buildable
• Applying working knowledge of UK building regulations within workplace environments
• Liaising with clients, consultants, suppliers, and internal teams throughout the project lifecycle
• Exploring and applying new tools, including AI, to support smarter design thinking and project efficiency

This is a role for a designer who enjoys being visible, trusted, and influential, not just technically capable.

We are looking for someone who combines design quality with presence and judgement. You are likely to demonstrate:

• Three or more years’ experience in commercial office design and fit-out
• Strong space planning and visual communication skills, with the ability to build client understanding and confidence in creative ideas.
• Experience presenting pitches to clients and contributing to competitive tenders
• Confidence guiding clients through options, trade-offs, and recommendations
• Practical knowledge of UK building regulations relevant to workplace projects
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and Adobe Creative Suite, with SketchUp or Revit as an advantage
• A structured, organised approach to managing priorities and deadlines
• Curiosity and openness to new tools, including AI, and how they can support commercial outcomes

Most importantly, you bring sound creative judgement. You listen carefully, balance ambition with budget, and make design decisions that are right for the client and the business.

We’re Kerr Office Group, a business built on strong values and doing the right thing. With a focus on creating innovative workspaces that people love, we provide workspace strategy, design, fit-out, and furniture services. Our people-first approach enables workplace cultures to thrive and organisations to flourish.

It’s an approach we believe in deeply and reflect internally, too. Our Kerr Promises are the cornerstone of how we do business:

• We exceed customer expectations
• We are curious and continue to learn
• We are experts in our craft
• We take ownership of our actions
• We treat each other like family

If these principles reflect how you prefer to work, Kerr may be a strong fit.
