This role is ideal for a talented Interior Designer currently working within high-end residential or luxury interiors who is looking to transition into the exciting world of superyacht design. If you have a passion for bespoke craftsmanship, exceptional materials, and creating extraordinary luxury spaces, I would be keen to hear from you.

Due to continued growth, they are seeking a creative and ambitious Junior Interior Designer to join their talented design team in London.

• Create high-quality visual presentations and design documentation for client and internal project reviews.
• Research and specify luxury materials, finishes, fabrics, furnishings, accessories, and artwork.
• Work closely with senior designers, naval architects, CGI artists, suppliers, and project stakeholders throughout the design process.
• Assist with maintaining project schedules, material libraries, sample collections, and design records.
• Conduct supplier research and liaise with manufacturers to source bespoke products and finishes.
• Support site visits, showroom appointments, and project installations where required.
• Ensure all design solutions balance aesthetics, functionality, practicality, and the highest standards of luxury.

Requirements

• Degree qualified in Interior Design, Interior Architecture, Spatial Design, or a related discipline.
• Approximately 1-4 years of professional interior design experience.
• Experience within high-end residential, luxury hospitality, superyacht, or ultra-prime interior design projects would be highly desirable.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating creativity, space planning ability, material selection, and luxury design detailing.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Rhino, Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator), and Microsoft Office.
• Experience producing mood boards, concept presentations, FF&E schedules, and material specifications.
• Good understanding of luxury furniture, bespoke joinery, premium materials, fabrics, and finishes.
• Strong visual presentation and communication skills.
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple project tasks simultaneously.
• A proactive and detail-focused approach with a genuine passion for luxury design.
• Full right to work in the UK.

Desirable

• Previous exposure to superyacht, marine, aviation, luxury hospitality, or ultra-high-end residential projects.
• Experience working with bespoke furniture manufacturers and specialist suppliers.
• Familiarity with CGI briefing and visualisation processes.
• Knowledge of custom joinery detailing and luxury interior construction methods.

What’s on Offer?

• Salary of 40,000 – 50,000 depending on experience.
• Opportunity to enter and develop within the prestigious superyacht design industry.
• Exposure to truly bespoke, world-class luxury interior projects.
• Mentorship and support from highly experienced yacht and luxury interior designers.
• Collaborative and creative studio environment in South West London.
