Senior Project Designer

This role offers a clear career pathway and flexible working.

- Lead the architectural design of luxury hospitality projects from concept through design development
- Establish the overall design vision, architectural narrative and creative direction for hotel and resort developments
- Manage and inspire multidisciplinary project teams, ensuring design intent is carried consistently throughout each stage of the project
- Oversee the production and coordination of design documentation, maintaining exceptional quality assurance and quality control standards across all project deliverables
- Monitor project progress, ensuring design quality, programme and commercial objectives remain aligned
- Develop innovative architectural solutions that respond to client aspirations, operational requirements and project constraints
- Work closely with Project Managers and senior leadership to successfully deliver complex international hospitality projects
- Coordinate consultants and wider design teams to ensure a fully integrated design approach
