THE ROLE

You’ll assist our Designer and lead clients in making smart, stylish selections that align with their vision and budget, while keeping everything organized, on time, and ready for the construction crew. In short, you’re the glue between dreaming it and building it.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

●    Lead client selection meetings, making design decisions easy, fun, and stress-free for our clients while recommending products and finishes that look great and fit the budget

●    Request quotes, samples, and all the little things that make a big difference

●    Assist the Designer in drawing elevations and selection details in SketchUp

●    Create mood boards and design presentations that wow

●    Follow up on selections and approvals to keep the design timeline running smoothly

WHAT YOU NEED

You’ve got an eye for design, a love for details, and the people skills to guide clients through big decisions without breaking a sweat. To fit in, you need to have a crazy love for being organized, accurate, and understand how things work as a system (or the domino effect that errors can cause).

●    EFFICIENT: Self-organize, prioritize and spend time in the most effective way.

●    PERSONABLE: Self-awareness to know how you’re being perceived as clients come in all flavours; own the room, crack a joke and build trust with clients.

●    CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT: Mistakes are made, root causes are identified; solutions are implemented; and the same mistake is never made twice.

●    COMMUNICATION: Observant and respond to the needs of clients, trades, suppliers and team members and can read between the lines of what the client thinks they want.

●    SYSTEMS THINKING: Anticipate how one detail affects everything else, looking at cause and effect, feedback loops and long-term consequences.

●    TECH SAVVY: Quick learner with technology and initiative to mastering it.

●    COMPOSURE UNDER PRESSURE: Keep your poker face in pressure situations.

●    FOLLOW-THROUGH: It’s not enough to start something; finishing it is key.
