Interior Designer

Position Overview

C&S Engineers is seeking an Interior Designer to independently lead interior design assignments and produce the drawings, models, and documentation needed to bring those designs to life. This role focuses on commercial interiors across a range of markets.

This is a hands-on design and production position. You will develop design concepts, make design decisions within your assigned scope, coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, and complete your own production work. The position requires someone who can move confidently between creative design and technical documentation.

Leadership is demonstrated through ownership of design assignments, sound professional judgment, and effective coordination.

Key Responsibilities

• Independently lead interior design assignments from programming and concept development through design development, construction documentation, and construction-phase services.
• Translate client goals, user needs, and existing conditions into functional, accessible, and cohesive interior environments.
• Perform your own design production in Revit, including model development, drawing preparation, detailing, schedules, and coordinated construction documents.
• Develop space plans, finish and material palettes, furnishings selections, interior details, and design presentations appropriate to project scope.
• Evaluate design alternatives for aesthetics, functionality, durability, maintainability, sustainability, constructability, and cost.
• Apply applicable building, life-safety, and accessibility requirements to interior design solutions.
• Coordinate interior design with architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, technology, and other project disciplines.
• Prepare and coordinate specifications, finish schedules, furnishings information, and other project deliverables.
• Communicate design intent and recommendations to clients, users, consultants, contractors, and other stakeholders.
• Support construction-phase services, including reviewing submittals, responding to RFIs, evaluating substitutions, and participating in field observations and closeout activities.
• Review your work for accuracy, completeness, and interdisciplinary coordination, and incorporate quality review comments.
• Manage assigned design tasks and deliverables within established scope, schedule, and budget expectations. Identify issues early and coordinate their resolution with the project team.

Required Qualifications

• A professional or accredited degree in interior design, architecture, or a related discipline appropriate to the role.
• Demonstrated experience independently developing interior design solutions and producing coordinated construction documentation.

• Proficiency in Revit is required, including the ability to perform your own modeling, documentation, detailing, and drawing production.
• Experience with commercial interiors and an understanding of the functional and technical requirements of these spaces.
• Working knowledge of space planning, interior materials and finishes, furnishings, detailing, construction methods, and building systems coordination.
• Knowledge of applicable building codes, life-safety requirements, and accessibility standards.
• Ability to exercise independent design judgment within an assigned scope while recognizing when additional technical review or project direction is needed.
• Strong communication, presentation, organization, and multidisciplinary coordination skills.
• Ability to balance design quality with project scope, schedule, budget, and constructability.

Preferred Qualifications

• Proficiency with Adobe products, particularly InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator, to support presentations and visual communication.
• Experience supporting projects through construction and maintaining design intent as field conditions and project requirements evolve.

What Success Looks Like

You can take ownership of an interior design assignment, develop a clear design direction, and carry it through coordinated documentation. You are comfortable presenting your ideas, resolving technical details, collaborating with other disciplines, and doing the hands-on Revit production required to deliver your work.
