Job Description

Job Description

Do you want the flexibility to design for multi-discipline Commercial Interior Design projects, start-to finish, with an incredibly fun team and entrepreneurial approach?

We're looking for a Commercial Interior Designer with strong Revit production skills who loves great design, enjoys building client relationships, and wants to be involved in projects from the first conversation through move-in day.

This role is ideal for a designer who not only excels at creating innovative workplace, retail, hospitality, healthcare, or corporate interiors, but also has experience establishing Revit standards, developing workflows, and training team members to maximize efficiency and consistency across projects. The successful candidate will serve as both a designer and a Revit resource, helping with the conversion of AutoCAD to Revit and elevate the firm's BIM capabilities while delivering exceptional commercial interior design solutions.

At Archimea, you'll have the opportunity to work closely with clients, shape design solutions from concept through construction, and see the direct impact of your work. Because we're a small, highly collaborative team, every voice matters and every project provides opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute. If you enjoy variety, taking ownership of your work, collaborating with great people, and helping clients create spaces they love, we'd love to meet you.

ABOUT US

By merging our interior design expertise with the client’s unique program needs and the personality of their business, we provide businesses with creative solutions, added value and inspiration for those who experience the spaces we design.

Since 1992, Archimea has helped businesses create inspiring, functional environments across workplace, healthcare, education, hospitality, retail, non-profit, government, and housing sectors. We believe great design improves the way people work, interact, and experience space. As a division of Suntide Commercial Realty, we offer the resources of a larger organization while maintaining the creativity and agility of a boutique design studio.

WHY ARCHIMEA?

We're a team of creative problem-solvers who love designing spaces that help people work, connect, and thrive. We believe great ideas can come from anyone, so collaboration, curiosity, and open communication are part of our everyday culture.

Because we're a smaller, entrepreneurial firm, you'll have the opportunity to wear multiple hats, build strong client relationships, and see the direct impact of your work. You'll be involved in projects from the first conversation through move-in day, working alongside a talented team that values both personal growth and professional excellence.

We work hard, support one another, celebrate our successes, and have fun along the way. If you're looking for a place where your ideas matter, your contributions are recognized, and your work makes a visible difference, you'll fit right in at Archimea.
