Interior Design Consultant

Join our dynamic team as an Interior Design Consultant, helping clients bring their dream homes to life through design, colour, and style selections!

This isn’t just another role, it’s your opportunity to shape how people will live, feel, and experience their home every day.

At Simonds, our Interior Design Consultants are at the heart of the client journey, helping transform a house into something deeply personal. From colours and finishes to fixtures, textures and final touches, you’ll guide every decision that brings a home to life.

This is where vision becomes reality, where your expertise helps clients create spaces that reflect their lifestyle, personality, and the way they want to live.

And now, our design team is growing as we continue to expand our client offering.

We’re looking for an Interior Design Consultant to join us as we launch our brand-new, state-of-the-art Gallery at Collins Square, one of Melbourne’s most premium and connected locations.

A WORKPLACE LIKE NO OTHER

You’ll be based in our newly launched Collins Square Gallery, a purpose-built environment designed to inspire both our clients and our team.

Think:

• A premium, light-filled Gallery space built for creativity and collaboration across three levels
• Immediate access to Melbourne’s best cafés, restaurants, and retail
• Seamless public transport connectivity, with trams, trains, and Southern Cross Station nearby
• A vibrant, professional precinct surrounded by leading brands and businesses

This isn’t just where you work, it’s where design conversations come alive.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are seeking an Interior Design Consultant to join our passionate, high-performing team, working across our Retail (volume residential) and Knockdown Rebuild (KDR) projects.

Working primarily from our Collins Square Gallery, you’ll guide clients through one of the most exciting stages of their journey, bringing their home to life through confident, considered interior design decisions.

You’ll work across a variety of clients and projects, from high-volume residential selections through to more tailored KDR projects, giving you the opportunity to apply your design expertise across different client needs and experiences.

As part of our expanding team, you’ll play a key role in shaping the future of our design experience, working alongside passionate professionals in a fast-evolving, high-impact space.

ONE ROLE. VARIED DESIGN EXPERIENCE.

The majority of your work will focus on Retail clients building new homes, guiding them through the selection of colours, finishes, fixtures and upgrades to create a home that reflects their personal style and lifestyle.

You’ll also work across KDR projects, supporting clients through a more tailored and personalised design journey.

This role is ideal for a qualified designer who:

• Thrives in a client-facing environment
• Loves helping clients bring their vision to life through design
• Enjoys working across a range of residential projects

• Accurately document selections, variations, and specifications within required timeframes
• Collaborate closely with sales and internal teams to ensure a smooth client journey
• Support both Retail and KDR clients, adapting your approach to suit different project requirements
• Stay ahead of design trends, materials, and innovations to inspire and inform clients

WHO YOU ARE

You’re not just creative - you’re confident, commercially aware, and thrive in a fast-paced, client-facing environment.

Most importantly, you bring a formal qualification in Interior Design, Interior Decoration or a related discipline, combined with a strong understanding of the volume residential building environment.

You understand that great design is not just about aesthetics — it’s about helping clients make confident decisions within a defined range of products, finishes, fixtures and upgrades.

You’ll also bring:

• A qualification in Interior Design, Interior Decoration, or a related field
• Proven experience in volume residential building, ideally in colour consulting, selections or a similar client-facing design role
• A strong understanding of residential colour, finishes, fixtures, materials and upgrades
• Strong ability to read and interpret floor plans with accuracy and confidence
• Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple clients and deadlines
• Outstanding communication skills and a natural ability to build trust and rapport
• A proactive, team-focused mindset with a drive to achieve targets and deliver excellence

This is a role for someone who wants to stand out, take ownership, and be part of something genuinely exciting.

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT

This is an opportunity to:

• Work in a premium, purpose-built Gallery environment at Collins Square
• Use your design expertise to help clients make confident, considered selections for their new home
• Work across both Retail and KDR projects, building your residential design expertise
• Partner closely with clients during one of the most exciting stages of their home-building journey
• Join a growing design team as we continue to build our capability and shape the future of the Simonds design experience
• Help shape the next chapter of Simonds’ client design experience
