• Develop 3D models and renders for:

o New store formats

o Design upgrades / pilots

o Special locations (corporate parks, transport hubs, kiosks)

• Translate brand guidelines into physical space with consistency

3. Innovation & Format Thinking

• Propose innovative layouts and design solutions that:

o Reduce footprint and cost

o Improve throughput and ergonomics

o Enable faster build and replication

• Continuously improve formats based on on-ground learnings

4. Coordination with Projects & Vendors

• Work closely with the Projects team to ensure designs are execution-ready

• Share drawings, BOQs inputs, and clarifications with vendors

• Support site execution with design clarifications when required

5. Standardisation & Documentation

• Maintain updated design libraries, drawings, and format playbooks

• Standardise materials, finishes, and specifications wherever possible

• Incorporate cost and build feedback into future designs

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have

• 2–5 years experience as an Interior Designer or Architect, preferably in retail, QSR, cafés, or commercial interiors

• Strong capability in 2D & 3D design

• Proficiency in tools such as:

o AutoCAD

o SketchUp / 3ds Max / Blender

o V-Ray / Lumion / Enscape (any)

• Strong spatial thinking and attention to detail

• Ability to design with speed, constraints, and scale in mind

Good to Have

• Experience designing high-footfall retail environments

• Understanding of materials, finishes, and cost implications

• Exposure to modular or standardised retail formats

• Ability to balance aesthetics with operations and execution reality

What Will Make You Successful in This Role

• You design for execution, not just for presentation
