Interior Designer

1. Interior Project Design & Delivery — approx. 35% Take briefs from clients and internal stakeholders and translate them into spatial concepts, layouts, material palettes and lighting intent for residential, commercial, hospitality and workplace projects. Develop schemes through concept, design development and technical documentation, resolving circulation, ergonomics, storage, servicing and buildability as you go. Prepare and present client-facing packages: mood and material direction, plans, 3D visualisation and product specification, at a standard fit for external presentation. Manage the design programme for your projects — deliverable dates, revision control, and the design decisions each stage requires from the client. Attend site through construction: setting out, mock-up and sample approvals, snagging and close-out. 2. Brand Environments & Dealer Showrooms — approx. 30% Design dealer, distributor and partner showroom spaces strictly in accordance with the District Eight brand guide — layout zoning, product adjacency, materials, lighting, signage and display logic. Produce dealer-ready layout and installation packages that a third party can execute in another market without our physical presence, and review their execution against the guide before sign-off. Support the design and technical documentation of our own showrooms, including the planned Milan and Hà Nội spaces, and of trade fair stands and brand installations. Maintain and evolve the spatial standards behind the brand guide — display modules, plinths, shelving systems, fixture families, finish and lighting specifications — so that brand environments become repeatable rather than reinvented each time. Act as a practical guardian of brand consistency in space: flag where a partner's proposal dilutes the brand, and propose a workable alternative rather than a refusal. 3. Technical Documentation & Production Handover — approx. 25% Produce complete, coordinated construction documentation: dimensioned plans, RCPs, elevations, sections, joinery and millwork details, fixing and junction details, finish schedules and door/hardware schedules. Own the handover into Maker Sixty Four production for bespoke and brand-environment elements — buildable detailing, achievable tolerances, material feasibility, finishing method and packing and installation considerations agreed with the factory before release. Coordinate with contractors, joiners, lighting suppliers and MEP trades; issue and track RFIs, revisions and as-built updates. Maintain a disciplined drawing standard — consistent title blocks, layering, naming, revision clouds and issue registers — so that any project can be picked up by another person without archaeology. Build and maintain a reusable library of details, standard fixtures and specification templates. 4. Commercial & Specification Support — approx. 10% Support the account and business development team with space planning, layouts and visualisation that help clients, dealers and specifiers place District Eight and Root and Branch product in real space. Specify our own product first where it genuinely fits the brief, and be candid where it does not — credibility with specifiers is worth more than a forced specification. Feed observations from projects and showroom floors back to product development: what sells, what fails on site, what dimension or finish gap keeps costing us specifications. Contribute to project cost awareness — flag where a design decision materially moves cost, before it is issued rather than after.

REQUIREMENTS:Experience Five or more years in interior design or interior architecture, working on projects that were actually built. Candidates outside this range with an exceptional portfolio will still be considered — the portfolio governs, not the year count. Demonstrable experience producing full construction documentation and seeing it through on site. Exposure to retail, showroom, hospitality or brand-environment work is a strong advantage; residential and workplace experience is welcome alongside it. Experience working with, or supplying to, a manufacturer or joinery workshop is highly regarded. Technical Skills AutoCAD or Revit to a professional documentation standard — this is assessed, not assumed. SketchUp, 3ds Max or equivalent, with rendering capability (V-Ray, Corona, Enscape or similar) sufficient for client presentation. Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator for presentation and material boards. Working competence in spreadsheets for schedules, specification registers and basic quantity take-offs. Sound technical grounding in lighting, finishes, fixings, dimensional coordination and standard construction methods. Attributes Precision. You check dimensions, you check clashes, and you issue drawings you would be willing to build from yourself. Restraint. You can work inside a brand guide and inside a budget without treating either as an obstacle to your authorship. Directness. You raise a problem when it is cheap to fix, not when it is discovered on site. Ownership. Projects are handed to you complete, not in fragments — you are expected to run them. Language Professional working English, written and spoken — you will work with international clients, dealers and suppliers. Vietnamese fluency is a strong advantage for factory, contractor and supplier coordination. NON-NEGOTIABLE FOR THIS ROLE A portfolio submitted with the application. Applications without a portfolio will not be reviewed. The portfolio is the primary screening instrument for this role, not the CV. Evidence of full construction documentation, not renders alone. At least one project in the portfolio must include the working drawing set — plans, elevations, sections, joinery/millwork details and finish schedules — that you personally produced. Built work. At least two completed, constructed projects with site or completion photography. Concept-only, competition and student work does not substitute. Named contribution. For every project shown, state explicitly what you did, what the team did, and at which stages you were involved. Ambiguity on authorship is disqualifying.
