About the role
Senior Interior Designer / Project Manager – Commercial Interiors | Westchester, NY
About the Role: A commercial interiors firm is looking for a Senior Interior Designer / Project Manager who can both design and execute — someone technically strong enough to take projects independently from programming and space planning through construction documentation, FF&E, signage, and closeout. This role leans heavily toward project execution, coordination, and management rather than purely conceptual design, ideal for someone comfortable owning multiple fast-moving tenant improvement projects.
Key Responsibilities
Design, Planning & Documentation
• Develop programming, test fits, space plans, and design solutions for commercial interior projects
• Produce quick-turn preliminary pricing sets for early budgeting and feasibility
• Produce complete construction drawing sets, including finish plans, RCPs, elevations, millwork details, and specifications
• Coordinate architectural, MEP, and electrical drawings with the interior design scope
Project Management & Construction Coordination
• Manage multiple tenant improvement projects from inception through completion
• Own project schedules, budgets, deliverables, and priorities
• Coordinate clients, architects, engineers, GCs, and vendors throughout all phases
• Review pricing and GC bids, identifying budget concerns and value engineering opportunities
• Respond to RFIs and resolve field conditions
• Drive decisions and keep projects moving through construction, punch list, and closeout with minimal oversight
FF&E, Signage & Brand Coordination
• Develop and coordinate furniture plans, selections, and specifications
• Coordinate signage, environmental graphics, artwork, and décor from design intent through installation
• Review vendor drawings, proofs, and samples for design consistency
• Track lead times, fabrication, and installation against the construction schedule
