If you're a creative, experienced residential interior designer who wants to do more than “pick finishes” - if you want to shape entire homes, lead thoughtful design solutions, and influence how families live every day, this opportunity is built for you.

Chads Design Build is an award‑winning, locally rooted design‑build firm known for craftsmanship, collaboration, and high‑quality residential transformations. We are expanding our design team and hiring a Senior Interior Designer who is excited to take creative ownership, partner closely with clients, and help elevate the design standards of every project we touch.

This is not a production drafting role. This is a lead, client‑facing design position where your ideas, point of view, and aesthetic vision directly shape the outcome of each remodel or addition.

• Lead design projects from concept through construction completion.
• Collaborate closely with clients to translate their lifestyle, needs, and preferences into functional, beautiful spaces.
• Prepare detailed drawings, material selections, and specifications that balance design vision with build feasibility.
• Work closely with project managers, estimators, and craftsmen to ensure seamless execution of designs.
• Conduct client presentations and facilitate design approvals.
• Participate in site visits to ensure design intent is maintained throughout construction.
• Mentor and support junior designers, fostering a collaborative and growth‑oriented studio culture.
• Stay current on design trends, sustainable materials, and best practices in residential remodeling.

• Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design, Architecture, or related field preferred but not required.
• 5+ years of residential interior design experience, ideally with exposure to design‑build or remodeling projects.
• Strong portfolio showcasing creative, client‑centered residential design work.
• Proficiency in Chief Architect, Sketch Up, AutoCAD, or similar software.
• Excellent visualization, space planning, and material selection skills.
• Knowledge of building codes, construction methods, and finishes.
• Exceptional client communication, presentation, and project coordination skills.
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

• Salary: $80,000–$105,000, based on experience.
• Earn up to $10,000–$20,000 in performance bonus.
• Paid health and dental insurance.
• Vacation, sick time, and paid holidays.
• Company‑sponsored 401(k) with profit‑sharing and performance‑based bonuses.
• Opportunities for professional growth, continuing education, and mentorship.

If you are a senior designer ready to lead transformative residential projects and contribute to a collaborative, creative studio, please submit your resume and portfolio to join our award‑winning team.
