Interior Technical Designer - High-End Residential Interiors & Bespoke Joinery
Up to £40,000 depending on skills and experience | Permanent, full time | Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm
Twickenham, TW1 - office based, commutable from Richmond, Teddington, Hounslow, Isleworth, Kingston and Hampton
An established, design-led interiors business in Twickenham is looking for an Interior Technical Designer to join its in-house interior design team. The team designs high-end residential interiors, show homes and furniture collections across central and West London, and this role owns the technical side of that work.
This is a role for a designer who understands how interiors are built, not just how they are drawn. You will take approved design concepts and client briefs and turn them into accurate, coordinated and buildable drawing packages, improving the details rather than simply drawing what you are given, and you will see them through to site. As your experience grows, the role offers a clear path to Senior Interior Technical Designer or Technical Design Lead.
The role:
Producing detailed AutoCAD drawing packages: floor plans, room elevations, setting-out plans and technical layouts
Preparing bespoke joinery packages for cabinetry, wardrobes, media units, shelving and fitted elements
Preparing kitchen drawings and elevations, coordinating cabinetry, appliances, finishes and services
Developing interior construction details, including doors, coving and cornice, skirting and architraves, wall panelling, ceilings and junctions
Reviewing supplier, contractor and shop drawings before issue or approval
Coordinating with designers, contractors, joiners, suppliers and consultants, including lighting and M&E
Attending site visits and surveys to take and check dimensions and resolve technical queries
Managing technical work across several live projects, with accurate revisions and drawing control
What we are looking for:
A full degree in Interior Design or Interior Architecture (essential)
Around 3 or more years' experience in an interior design or interior architecture studio
Advanced AutoCAD, with excellent technical detailing and a strong understanding of construction
Proven joinery and kitchen detailing experience
A good design eye, with a feel for proportion, materials and finishes
Strong Excel and Outlook skills, and the ability to manage several projects and deadlines at once
Confident communication with contractors and on site; client-facing experience is a bonus
SketchUp is desirable, and visualisation or rendering ability is beneficial but not essential
Living within easy reach of Twickenham, as the role is office based five days a week with no home working
A driving licence is not required
A portfolio showing joinery details, elevations and drawing packages, to present at interview
What is on offer:
£30,000 to £40,000, with the top of the range for an exceptional candidate
25 days holiday
Pension
Parking on site
Travel expenses and an Oyster card for project travel
Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm
Varied, high-end residential projects in central and West London
Clear progression to Senior Interior Technical Designer or Technical Design Lead
