We are currently recruiting for an Operations and Procurement Lead to support our team of talented designers in this busy and growing practice.
Overbury Interiors is an established interior design studio situated in a tranquil countryside location on the Hampshire/Surrey border working on high-end residential and boutique commercial projects throughout the UK and abroad. We produce thoughtful, timeless interiors for our clients who often return to work with us on multiple projects.
This is an excellent opportunity for a passionate, well-organised and detail-oriented individual to join our close-knit team.

This will be a full-time role based primarily in the studio but will include visits to site to meet with Clients and Suppliers and oversee installations.
