Availability: Immediate

Valentori Group is seeking a skilled, detail-oriented and execution-focused Interior Design Architect to join our team. We are looking for someone who can translate site conditions and client requirements into accurate, buildable designs and clear execution documentation.

This is not purely a visualization role. The successful candidate must understand the full journey from site measurement → space planning → design → material quantification → technical drawings → installation instructions → execution support.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct professional site visits and take accurate site measurements.

• Develop functional interior layouts and detailed space plans.

• Produce high-quality 3D designs and photorealistic renders.

• Prepare accurate technical drawings, elevations, dimensions and installation/instruction drawings for site teams and fabricators.

• Prepare material quantities and support development of BOQs/cutting information where required.

• Translate approved designs into practical information that carpenters, installers, electricians, gypsum teams and other trades can execute accurately.

• Provide design clarification and technical support during project execution.

• Coordinate design requirements with project, procurement and site teams.

• Review site execution against approved designs and identify discrepancies early.

• Maintain organized design files, revisions, specifications and approvals.

• Work within project deadlines and deliver designs promptly without compromising accuracy.

• Preferred Technical Experience

Strong practical knowledge of the following will be highly advantageous:

• Kitchen cabinetry

• Wardrobes & walk-in closets

• Custom joinery

• TV wall units

• Vanities

• Gypsum ceilings

• Lighting layouts

• Interior space planning

• Finishes and material selection

• Candidates who understand cabinetry construction, joinery details and how designs are actually fabricated and installed on site will be strongly preferred.

• Must-Have Requirements

• Relevant qualification in Interior Design, Interior Architecture, Architecture or a closely related field.

• Proven professional interior design experience.

• Strong design and rendering capability is mandatory.

• Ability to take accurate site measurements and translate them into workable drawings.

• Strong understanding of dimensions, proportions, materials and construction details.

• Ability to prepare detailed technical and installation drawings.

• Demonstrable competence in relevant design, CAD and rendering software.

• Ability to work quickly and meet design submission deadlines.

• Portfolio demonstrating both design quality and technical competence.

• Personal Attributes

We are particularly interested in someone who is:

• Professional

• Confident

• Proactive

• Detail-oriented

• Presentable

• Solution-driven

• Accountable

• Good at communication

• The ideal candidate should be comfortable taking ownership of assignments, identifying potential design or execution problems early and working collaboratively with both clients and technical teams.

• Speed matters. Accuracy matters more. The ability to consistently deliver both will be highly valued.
