About the position

Urbano Design & Build is seeking a talented Interior Designer/Project Manager with 3-5 years of experience in high-end residential projects. The ideal candidate will have a background in an interior design studio and be well-versed in high-end, custom design processes. This role requires a positive attitude and a strong can-do mentality, as the successful candidate will be responsible for managing multiple tasks simultaneously while maintaining a high level of organization.

In addition to design responsibilities, the role involves creating proposals, coordinating purchases, and managing the shipment of all items. The designer will work with vendors, fabricators, millworkers, and subcontractors to ensure accurate fabrication and timely installation. Daily management of FF&E sourcing to meet budgetary and timeline targets is essential, as is maintaining communication with clients and managing both internal and external deadlines.
