Save Job

The Opportunity This role is for an interior designer who finds real satisfaction in seeing great ideas become beautifully executed homes.

At Traci Connell Interiors, you’ll work on high‑end residential projects where the details matter; custom new construction, large‑scale renovations, and full‑home installations that demand both creative sensitivity and technical precision. You’ll be involved from early concept through construction and installation, playing a meaningful role in shaping how spaces are experienced and lived in.

This is a role for someone who enjoys owning their work, collaborating closely with senior designers, clients, contractors, and vendors, and taking pride in getting things right. You’ll see the direct impact of your contribution when drawings translate cleanly on site, when problems are resolved thoughtfully, and when a project comes together exactly as intended.

If you’re energized by fast‑moving projects, motivated by high standards, and excited by the challenge of turning strong concepts into refined, finished interiors, this role offers the chance to do deeply rewarding work, and to grow within a studio that values care, precision, and execution.

The Role As an Intermediate Interior Designer, you’ll play a key role in both the creative and technical execution of residential projects. This is a hands‑on, on‑site position that requires a strong balance of precision, coordination, and creative contribution.
