About The Practice
Our client is a boutique interior design and architecture practice working predominantly across commercial and workplace interiors. Recent and current projects include a full building refurbishment recently reaching practical completion, alongside work for major names in tech, retail and financial services.
The studio is known for its close-knit, design-led culture, with directors deeply involved in project delivery and a strong emphasis on developing talent internally rather than hiring fully-formed seniors.
The Role
Due to continued growth - a high volume of projects and fee proposals currently in motion — our client is looking to appoint a strong midweight or new senior Interior Designer, initially on a temp basis (approximately 3–4 months) transitioning to permanent for the right candidate.
This is a predominantly design-focused role. The practice has its own in-house technical team, so the successful candidate won't be producing technical packages directly — but will need a solid understanding of how technical delivery works, holding the back-and-forth with the technical team and knowing when a technical solution compromises design intent.
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.
The trajectory for this role is towards running projects independently over time, reporting initially to a senior team member and ultimately to the directors.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead design across the full project cycle: client meetings, taking the brief, concept, material and finish palettes
- Liaise closely with the in-house technical team, balancing design intent against technical constraints
- Take ownership of projects with growing independence over time
- Contribute to a fast-paced studio with multiple live projects and proposals in motion

- Proficient in AutoCAD; working knowledge of Revit useful but not essential

Why Join?
Our client offers a genuinely design-focused studio with real scope to grow into running projects independently.
- Full equipment provided
