About The Role
We are seeking a talented and highly motivated Graduate Interior Designer or an Interior Designer in the early stages of their career to join our dynamic and growing interiors team. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a wide range of high-profile UK and international projects across the workplace, retail, healthcare, heritage, arts, and education sectors.
As part of BDP's award-winning interdisciplinary practice, you will gain exposure to the full spectrum of integrated building design, working alongside architects, designers, engineers, and specialist consultants. You will have the opportunity to work within our Interior Design team on a diverse range of projects in partnership with designers, architects, and allied professionals across the practice, helping to deliver our consistently high standards of creative, sustainable, and people-focused design.
Within our Interiors team, you will be involved in all stages of the design process, from early concept design and development through to technical delivery, construction stages on site. From day one, you will be paired with a dedicated mentor who will support your development and help guide your growth within a collaborative, nurturing environment.
About Us
BDP is a leading, global, multidisciplinary design practice united by a shared purpose: to design a world that's built for good. For more than 60 years, we've been solving problems, creating innovative spaces, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. From the start, we've been pioneers in the world of design, and our legacy is built on the meaningful, people-centered places we've brought to life.
We are a diverse, international practice of architects, engineers, designers, and urbanists. We work closely with our clients, users, and communities to craft spaces for living, working, learning, and enjoying life across the globe. With studios spanning the UK, Ireland, Europe, Asia, and North America, our reach is as broad as our expertise. And since joining forces with Japan's Nippon Koei in 2016, our ability to deliver integrated, impactful design has only grown stronger.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our work is rooted in creativity, quality, and collaboration. We believe that great design removes barriers and opens new possibilities, all while meeting the demands of a constantly evolving world. Whether we're designing homes, workplaces, or public spaces, we always put people at the heart of our thinking, ensuring that the environments we create are not just functional, but also inclusive, beautiful, and socially and environmentally responsible.
We're proud of the places we've shaped and the lives we've touched, and we are committed to continuing our mission of designing a better, more connected world—one that leaves every place better than we found it.
About You
You will be a talented and enthusiastic Interior Design graduate with strong creative abilities and a genuine appetite for learning and professional growth, holding a BA in Interior Architecture and Design or an equivalent qualification. Curious and open-minded, you will be eager to contribute to a diverse range of projects within an interdisciplinary design team.
You will bring a collaborative mindset to your work, demonstrating the ability to work effectively within a team while managing your time confidently, even when facing tight deadlines. Strong interpersonal skills are essential; you'll be comfortable engaging with people at all levels and from a wide variety of backgrounds. Clear, articulate communication, both verbal and written, will be among your key strengths.
As BDP is a truly interdisciplinary practice, we value individuals with a broad interest in the built environment professions—those who enjoy exploring how interior design integrates with architecture, lighting, acoustics, engineering, sustainability, and user experience.
Proficiency in AutoCAD, Photoshop, InDesign, and Revit is beneficial but not essential; we provide training and support to help you develop your technical capabilities.
