East Malling | Up to £30,000 | Permanent
Hill McGlynn is delighted to be recruiting on behalf of a well-established interior design consultancy based in East Malling. Our client is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Design Technician to join their growing team.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a passion for design, strong technical ability and a desire to develop their career within the interior fit-out sector.
The Role
Working closely with internal teams and external stakeholders, you will produce and interpret accurate technical drawings, coordinate design information and support the successful delivery of interior fit-out projects. This role requires someone who enjoys solving problems, takes pride in producing high-quality work and thrives in a fast-paced environment.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
