Designer (Office Space)

Description

Elevator Pitch: The Company. Us. [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal]. Did you want to grow up and work in a boring office? Us neither. At [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal], we've been on a mission to destroy boring offices since 2014, in whatever size, shape and form they take. Since launching, we now have 14 buildings in London, Bristol and Brighton offering unique flexible office space for teams of 1 - 100 to work in, enjoying everything from dogs on demand to our famed Friday drinks trolley. Our [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] team enjoys a bunch of great benefits and unrivalled perks, from private healthcare to team trips abroad. We've also recently become a B Corp and think it's important for our team to give a damn about its impact on the planet and its people. [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] has a strong brand, passionate customer base and most importantly, a product members genuinely love. Post-covid the way of working has been flipped upside down and the demand for flexibility is greater than ever. We're ready to take full advantage of that.

Elevator Pitch: The Job. It's a great job. We promise. We're hiring our first in-house Designer to own the look and feel of [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal]'s spaces. Whilst no two days are the same, your key responsibilities will revolve around:

• New site design - Work alongside D&B contractors and their design teams on new location fit-outs. You'll be RWE's design lead on the client side - reviewing proposals, challenging ideas and protecting our brand identity.
• FF&E specification - Select and specify furniture, fixtures and equipment across new sites, refreshes and office modifications. Build supplier relationships and balance aesthetics with durability, budget and lead times.
• Site spruces and refreshes - Plan and deliver cosmetic upgrades across the portfolio - paint, signage, soft furnishings, lighting, feature walls. Assess what needs attention, create design schemes, and work with the projects team to get it done.
• Space planning management - Brief and manage our outsourced space planning agency. Review layouts for efficiency, member experience and commercial return.

This role is based from our Covent Garden office, 4 days a week. Open to part-time candidates and flexible arrangements.

Requirements

Who You Are

• Experienced in workplace and flexible office design - You've designed workplaces, flexible offices or co-working spaces. You understand how these environments actually work day-to-day, not just how they look on completion day.
• Practical as well as creative - You can spec materials, source furniture, coordinate with contractors and solve problems on site. You're comfortable getting into the detail of what actually gets built and installed.
• Commercially aware - You understand that design decisions have a cost and a commercial impact. You think about desk yield, durability and member experience alongside aesthetics.
• Confident with external partners - You'll be working with D&B firms, space planners and suppliers regularly. You don't need to have all the answers, but you need to know when something isn't right - and be confident enough to challenge it.
• Proficient in design software - You're comfortable working in AutoCAD and Revit. Experience with design presentation tools (e.g. Adobe Creative Suite, SketchUp) is desirable.
• Self-directed - This is a one-person design function. You'll manage your own workload, prioritise across multiple projects, and take ownership from concept through to delivery.
