Roles

Mid-Level Interior Designer (Part-Time)

About the role

Wind & Water Interiors is a Perth-based interior design studio creating calm, considered homes and spaces, with a gentle nod to feng shui principles. We work closely with clients on residential renovations, kitchens and bathrooms, styling and small commercial spaces.

We're looking for a mid-level Interior Designer to join us part-time, 16 hours per week, with the opportunity for more as the studio grows. You'll be the founder's right hand: in client meetings, building SketchUp models and 3D visuals, keeping projects on track, and making sure every enquiry and admin task is handled with care.

This role suits a designer with solid hands-on experience who enjoys both the creative and the organisational side of a small studio.

•      Coordinate projects from brief through to installation and handover

•      Liaise with suppliers, trades, builders and joiners, and track quotes, orders and lead times

•      Maintain project timelines, budgets and schedules, and flag risks early

•      Attend site meetings and help with quality checks and defect lists

Enquiries and client care

•      Respond promptly and warmly to new enquiries by email, phone and social media

•      Qualify leads, book discovery calls and consultations, and send proposals

•      Keep clients updated throughout their project

General administration

•      Manage the studio inbox and calendar, and keep project files organised

•      Prepare quotes, invoices and supplier orders, and track payments

•      Maintain supplier relationships, samples library and product records

•      Support the studio's marketing and digital products where needed
