About the Role

We’re seeking a skilled Technical Designer to join our dynamic commercial fit-out team. You will be a pivotal link in the design-to-delivery pipeline, translating creative concepts into fully detailed, build-ready documentation, and working alongside project teams to ensure design intent is executed with precision.


Key Responsibilities

  • Develop technical drawings, BIM/Revit models and associated documentation (e.g., sections, details, schedules) to enable construction and delivery.

  • Work closely with interior designers, architects, project managers and site teams to coordinate design and construction interfaces.

  • Ensure compliance with building regulations, standards (e.g., British Standards, CDM) and project briefs throughout the design and delivery process.

  • Participate in design review meetings, contribute to quality assurance, and highlight constructability, cost and programme risks.

  • Support procurement by producing specification content, schedules and construction pack deliverables.

  • Maintain version control and manage drawing issue processes; liaise with contractors/sub-contractors to resolve queries.

  • Occasionally attend site visits to review progress, quality of fit-out and verify that the installation aligns with design documentation.


Required Skills & Experience

  • Minimum 3-5 years' experience as a Technical Designer (or similar) working within the commercial office/interiors/fit-out sector.

  • Strong proficiency in Revit and CAD and creation of 2D/3D documentation.

  • Demonstrable experience interpreting concept designs, translating to construction-ready drawings and coordinating across multi-discipline teams.

  • Familiarity with fit-out components (partitions, ceilings, MEP coordination, finishes, FF&E interfaces) and the commercial workplace environment.

  • Good understanding of British Standards, contract documentation and construction processes relevant to interior fit-out.

  • Excellent attention to detail, organisational ability and ability to manage multiple live projects under tight timelines.

  • Strong communication skills—able to present technical information clearly to both design and site teams.

  • Positive, proactive attitude with willingness to engage collaboratively within a fast-paced, design-led environment.


Desirable Attributes

  • Experience in design & build (D&B) or interior fit-out contractors or Architecture

  • Exposure to RIBA Stages 3–5, especially technical design and delivery phases.

  • Knowledge of sustainability criteria (BREEAM, WELL, etc) or experience in workplace strategy applications.


What You’ll Get

  • Opportunity to join a leading commercial fit-out & workplace design firm, working on high-profile and high-quality client projects.

  • Exposure to full lifecycle from technical design through to delivery within the interior fit-out space.

  • Collaborative team culture, professional development and opportunity to build your portfolio.

  • Competitive salary and benefits aligned with experience and skill-level.
