Job Title: Junior Interior Designer – Hospitality Projects

Location: Gulf Shores, AL

Position Type: Full-Time | Entry-Level

Salary Range: $45,000 – $55,000 annually (based on experience)

About Us

We are a small but experienced hospitality-focused company built from the ground up by a husband-and-wife team with over 25 years in the industry. From operating hotels to developing them, our growth has always come through careful, cost-effective planning and the willingness of our team to pitch in wherever needed. 

We became a formal corporate structure about four years ago and are still evolving—meaning flexibility, humility, and a roll-up-your-sleeves mindset go a long way here. Our corporate team totals about 30 people, with a small and collaborative interior design department.

Position Summary

We’re looking for a Junior Interior Designer to join our hospitality design department. This is an entry-level position for someone eager to grow into a career in hotel FF&E and interiors. You'll assist with take-offs from architectural plans, budget creation, product specifications, vendor pricing, and installation documentation.

You won’t be handed a narrow job description—you’ll learn a lot, wear multiple hats, and have a direct hand in real-world hospitality design projects from start to finish.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Assist in reviewing architectural drawings to extract FF&E requirements
• Build project budgets and work within cost constraints
• Create specification documents and detailed interior design plans
• Develop installation instructions and project handoff documents
• Collaborate with vendors for quotes, samples, and pricing negotiations
• Work in AutoCAD, Bluebeam, Microsoft Office Suite (primarily Excel, Word, Outlook), & Google Workspace
• Support your team with whatever needs doing—from document formatting to product research

What We’re Looking For

• A degree in Interior Design, Architecture, or related field
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, basic Microsoft Office tools, and Google Workspace
• Someone eager to learn and unafraid of asking questions
• Good communicator with an eye for detail
• Comfortable working on a small team and contributing beyond a typical design role
• Interested in hospitality interiors and open to the quirks of real-world project timelines
• A self-starter who can stay organized without being micromanaged

You’ll Fit In If You:

• Learn best by doing
• Appreciate structure but aren’t rattled when it’s missing
• Like the idea of being part of a long-term story, not just a project
• Can pivot when priorities change (and they will!)
• Value relationships and clear communication
• You take pride in thought our functional design – even if it’s not flashy. You care about quality, details, and how things come together

What We Offer:

• Full-time salary commensurate with experience ($45K–$55K range)
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and holidays
• Opportunity to grow into a long-term role in a stable, tight-knit company
