Interior Designer (Edmonton)

Hays is partnered with a well-regarded interior design studio specializing in commercial, corporate, and workplace environments. The team works closely with clients to create thoughtful, high-performing spaces that enhance productivity, well-being, and collaboration, combining workplace strategy with strong design execution across sectors including corporate office, healthcare, retail, and multi-family. With their recent expansion into Edmonton, they’re now looking to add an Intermediate or Senior Interior Designer to their close-knit, collaborative team.

You will take ownership of projects from the outset, acting as a Project Lead and guiding delivery through to completion. You will work directly with clients, manage timelines and project cadence, and take accountability for both design execution and project performance.

Responsibilities:

• Lead projects from concept through to completion, owning both design and delivery
• Act as the primary point of contact for clients, managing communication and expectations
• Develop and deliver design concepts, space planning, and interior finishes
• Produce and review technical drawings, specifications, and shop drawings during construction
• Coordinate with architects, engineers, contractors, and trades to ensure seamless delivery
• Manage project schedules, workflow, and financial reporting
• Mentor and support junior team members, contributing to a growth-oriented team culture
• Balance hands-on design work (models, drawing sets) with high-level project oversight

Qualifications:

• Minimum 5+ years’ experience in interior design (Intermediate or Senior level)
• Strong experience leading projects through all phases, not just supporting components (e.g., finishes)
• Background in corporate workplace, healthcare, or commercial interiors is required
• Exposure to hospitality, retail, or multi-family residential is considered an asset
• Registered Interior Designer (AAA) or NCIDQ certification is an asset but not required
• Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and SketchUp; exposure to emerging tools (including AI) is beneficial

The successful candidate will receive an attractive compensation package of $70,000 - $90,000 (dependent on experience) + bonus potential, extended perks and a flexible working environment.
