Designer, Interior Design, Creative Design ​/ Digital Art

North Co is an Ottawa-based renovation company specializing in kitchens, cabinetry, and siding. We're driven by a simple set of values - doing the right thing, real partnership with our clients and each other, a constant push to grow, and leading by example - and we live them while having a good time along the way. We're a tight-knit team that takes the craft seriously without taking ourselves too seriously.

We're hiring a Kitchen Designer to join our design team as we keep growing. This is a full-time role for someone who blends real design talent with technical precision - the kind of designer who can sit with a client, understand their vision, and turn it into custom kitchen layouts, cabinetry drawings, and material selections that actually get built clean.

If you want a place where your skills are valued and your personality gets to shine, this is your lane.

• Meet with clients to understand their vision, then guide them through the full design process
• Design custom kitchen layouts, cabinetry modifications, and custom millwork
• Develop detailed drawings and cabinet elevations
• Conduct site measurements for accurate planning and execution
• Calculate material requirements and source cost estimates
• Select and propose material choices with expert, client-tailored recommendations
• Coordinate with project managers, sub-trades, and partners like architects and engineers
• Prepare and issue client invoices with proper documentation and follow-up
• Juggle multiple projects on tight deadlines without losing the details

• Do the right thing:
  We act with integrity, even when no one's watching.
• Partnership:
  We work toward win-win-win outcomes for clients, team, and company.
• Growth:
  We challenge the status quo and seek continuous improvement.
• Leadership:
  We own our roles and lead by example - no micromanagement needed.

• $26.00 - $31.00 per hour + commission

• 3-5 years of interior design experience with a strong design portfolio
• Expertise in kitchen and cabinetry standards, including technical drawing for detailed cabinet elevations
• Meticulous attention to detail and logical, systematic problem-solving
• Strong time management and organization across multiple simultaneous projects
• Comfortable with Google Drive and Sketch Up
• Excellent, professional communicator with a customer-focused mindset
• Confidence to influence and lead without direct authority
• Own a car (frequent travel to showrooms and client homes) and a smartphone with data
• Bilingual (EN/FR) - an asset, not a requirement

• Bathroom design experience - a plus as we launch our bathroom division next year
• Familiarity with Hover (3D measurement and exterior modeling)
