Interior Designer & Project Manager

Location: Cornwall & Devon (Multi-Site)
Reporting to: Managing Director

We are a growing hospitality group operating a collection of distinctive hotels, spas, restaurants and leisure facilities across Cornwall and Devon. Our properties each have their own character, but all share a commitment to exceptional guest experiences, thoughtful design and continuous improvement.

We are looking for an Interior Designer with strong project management capability to lead interior design projects across our portfolio. This is not a purely creative role. We need someone who can turn ideas into reality, managing projects from concept through to completion while ensuring designs are delivered on time, on budget and with minimal disruption to operations.

You will be responsible for the design, planning and delivery of refurbishment, redevelopment and enhancement projects across our hotels and spas.

• Undertake space planning and operational flow reviews to improve usability and guest experience.
• Recommend design improvements that drive revenue, guest satisfaction and operational efficiency.

• Build and maintain relationships with trusted contractors and suppliers.
• Negotiate competitive pricing and terms.
• Monitor contractor performance and quality standards.
• Ensure compliance with health and safety requirements throughout projects.
• Manage snagging processes and ensure timely resolution of defects.

• Prepare project budgets and cost estimates.
