This senior leadership role is focused on leading the development and execution of Revit modeling, comprehensive project documentation, and robust QA/QC processes for interior design projects of varying scale and complexity.

As a central figure in our technical team, you will guide the production of high-quality construction documentation, ensure design intent is meticulously translated through all phases, and champion best practices in Revit and technical standards. You will be the go-to authority on project documentation, overseeing teams to ensure clarity, accuracy, and compliance from schematic design through to construction completion.

As the Interior Design Technical Director, you will:

• Lead the creation, development, and management of Revit models across all interior design projects, setting up drawings, standards, and workflows that maximize efficiency and precision.

• Review and guide the development of construction drawings, specifications, material schedules, and other technical documents to ensure alignment with design intent and industry benchmarks.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams — including designers, architects, consultants, and contractors — to ensure technical integration and smooth project delivery.
• Provide technical mentorship to interior designers and production staff, fostering skill development in Revit and documentation best practices.
• Lead coordination between disciplines to mitigate clashes and ensure seamless documentation and construction transitions.
• Conduct site reviews during construction to verify implementation aligns with design documentation and resolve technical issues as needed.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of local building codes, standards, and regulations, ensuring compliance in all deliverables.

Additional Responsibilities

• Engage directly with clients to communicate technical details and ensure design needs are fully understood and met.
• Develop and implement technical design strategies to resolve complex challenges and integrate innovative, sustainable solutions.
• Lead the Construction Administration (CA) phase, including documentation tracking, responses to RFIs, and site reports.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Interior Design, Architecture, or a related field.
• Over 10 years of experience in interior design, with a strong focus on technical design, leadership, and project management.
• Proficiency in industry-standard design software, including AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Expertise in construction techniques, materials, building codes, and regulatory requirements.
• Proven experience leading large, complex projects, with the ability to manage multiple teams and stakeholders effectively.
• Strong leadership and mentoring skills, with a commitment to fostering professional growth and collaboration within the team.
• Excellent communication skills, with a strong ability to engage clients, contractors, and internal teams in a cohesive, productive manner.
• A strong understanding of the intersection of creative design and technical execution to deliver high-quality, functional spaces.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Certification from a recognized interior design organization (e.g., NCIDQ, LEED accreditation).
• Experience managing large-scale commercial, hospitality, or residential projects.
• Expertise in advanced technologies such as BIM (Building Information Modeling) and its integration into design workflows.
