ABOUT THE COMPANY

I’m supporting a well-established workplace solutions provider operating across design, build, furniture and relocation services within the commercial fit-out sector. The business delivers innovative, sustainable and functional workspaces for a diverse portfolio of clients, integrating end-to-end services that cover concept creation through to final handover.

With a strong commitment to quality, sustainability and client experience, the company is expanding its design capability and now seeks a Senior Project Designer to help drive creative and technical excellence across multiple workplace projects.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As Senior Project Designer, you will play a key role in leading the design for commercial fit-out and refurbishment projects. You’ll take briefs from concept stage through detailed design, ensuring the final output aligns with the client’s strategic workplace needs while maintaining design integrity throughout delivery.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Producing and leading design development using Revit as a core tool, including model creation, coordination and detailed documentation.

  • Interpreting workplace strategy, brand identity and operational needs to create intelligent and innovative design solutions.

  • Collaborating with internal teams, external consultants and contractors to ensure seamless coordination from design through to construction.

  • Preparing and presenting concepts, design proposals, technical drawings and schedules.

  • Ensuring compliance with building regulations, accessibility, sustainability goals and internal standards.

  • Providing guidance and mentorship to junior design team members.

  • Supporting site-based activities, addressing design challenges and ensuring successful delivery of design intent.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Significant experience in commercial interior design, architecture or workplace fit-out (typically 6+ years).

  • Strong Revit capability and confidence working within BIM workflows.

  • Comprehensive understanding of technical detailing, materials, construction methods and building systems.

  • Excellent space-planning and concept-to-completion design experience.

  • Confident communication skills and the ability to present to clients and stakeholders.

  • Ability to manage multiple projects at different stages with strong organisational skills.

  • A relevant design or architectural qualification and a portfolio showcasing workplace projects.

REWARDS AND BENEFITS

  • Salary between £65,000 and £75,000, depending on experience.

  • A senior design role within a growing and ambitious commercial fit-out environment.

  • Opportunity to lead high-profile workplace projects with real creative ownership.

  • Strong exposure to an integrated delivery model – design, build, furniture and move management.

  • A collaborative and supportive culture where design expertise is valued.

  • Professional development opportunities with clear progression potential.

  • Flexible working arrangements across office, home and site (project-dependent).

  • Opportunity to contribute to sustainable design practices through reuse and environmentally conscious solutions.

About Cityscape Recruitment

Cityscape Recruitment is not like any other construction recruitment agency. Our business does not have a sales-driven environment, instead, we reward quality over quantity.

We use our specialist industry knowledge to help introduce and guide construction professionals into companies that best suit their desired career aspirations and personal goals. From Quantity Surveyors to Site Managers to Civil Engineers, we work to the same objective of helping to enhance their careers.

And our relationships don’t end on day one of a new role – we pride ourselves on our ability to build long-lasting relationships with both clients and construction professionals. And we are fortunate enough to work with many leading construction companies and professionals in London and throughout the rest of the UK.

SUPPORTING THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

Clients we work for

Our clients range from small, privately owned specialist contractors right up to top-tier PLCs responsible for shaping our country’s landscape.

What our clients say

We have worked with Alex Wallace and the Cityscape Recruitment team for a number of years now and find their service excellent.

They supply well matched and vetted candidates and very quickly understood all our requirements. They have always demonstrated good market knowledge and an ability to deliver to our requirements.

Commercial Director,
Main Contractor

I have used Cityscape Recruitment multiple times over the last 5 years. Very pleasant to deal with and all candidates put forward for interview are well suited to the position and well vetted by the team, so there is no time wasted with unsuitable applicants. I would highly recommend Cityscape. I intend to use them again in the future should any vacancies become available.

Operations Director,
Platt and Reilly Ltd

The Cityscape Recruitment team has always been great to deal with. Always ready to listen to our needs and requirements, a quality some recruiters do not appreciate or have, then advising where they can assist in our staff procurement. We look forward to working with Laura and Cityscape in the coming years.

Director,
Soilfix

When you first contact us, be that through direct contact, responding to an advert or applying through our website, we will connect you with a consultant who works in your specialist area. 

Initially, they will arrange a meeting to talk through your CV and career history. They will encourage you to go into detail about your background and experiences, capabilities and responsibilities, personal circumstances and any other factors they feel are relevant to help them build up a well-rounded profile of you. 

We take extraordinary care in matching professionals to an opportunity – one that will help enhance their careers and a clients’ team. We therefore also use this meeting to empower you in your career. Using our extensive knowledge of the construction industry, we would provide in-depth overviews of businesses, projects and available roles, and guidance on where your strengths will add the most value and career potential. 

After this meeting, the consultant will speak to a number of their clients about you and your CV. Who they speak to can be either jointly agreed upon or you can trust the judgement and expertise of the consultant to contact clients they feel are the best fit for your experience and goals.

If any clients are interested in meeting with you, the consultant will manage the interview process, coaching you before any interviews if required. (Further guidance can be found here.)

If you are successful in receiving an offer(s), our consultant will communicate this with you and help to negotiate the offer(s) and any other terms of employment. 

Finally, we will support you in resigning from your current role, navigating potential counter offers and starting your new role.
