About Bolt

Bolt is a full-service Design + Build firm and fully insured General Contractor based in Brooklyn. We specialize in design-forward hospitality, retail, and residential projects that merge classical sensibility with innovative construction and fabrication methods. We believe that great design is only as strong as its execution — and that means being just as rigorous about budgets, schedules, and communication as we are about creative vision.

The Role

Bolt Builds is seeking a thoughtful, detail-oriented Interior Designer with 2–5 years of experience to join our design and construction team. This role is ideal for someone who is ready to take on more ownership within a fast-paced design-build studio, contributing meaningfully to projects from early concept through construction.

You will work closely with senior designers and project managers while also operating independently on key deliverables. This role requires both strong design sensibility and the ability to execute. You will move fluidly between creative development, technical documentation, and real-world problem-solving.

What You’ll Do

Design Development & Execution

Lead and contribute to design concepts across multiple projects, from schematic design through design development

Produce drawings, 3D models, and renderings using Rhino, Revit, and Adobe Creative Suite

Translate conceptual ideas into clear, buildable design solutions

FF&E Selection & Documentation

Research, select, and specify materials, finishes, and furnishings aligned with project budgets and design intent

Own and maintain FF&E schedules and supporting documentation

Coordinate directly with vendors for pricing, lead times, and sample procurement

Project Documentation

Develop and manage drawing sets throughout design and construction phases

Coordinate with internal teams and external consultants (AOR, MEP, fabricators, etc.)

Ensure documentation is clear, organized, and aligned with Bolt’s standards

Construction Coordination

Support the construction team during build-out by answering RFIs, updating drawings, and resolving design issues in real time

Participate in site visits, walk-throughs, and installation coordination

Ensure design intent is carried through to final execution

Client & Team Collaboration

Participate in client presentations and meetings, contributing to both design direction and communication

Collaborate closely with project managers, designers, and fabricators

Take ownership of assigned tasks and proactively move work forward

Studio & Material Management

Maintain organization of project files, samples, and material library

Stay up to date on new materials, vendors, and industry trends

What We’re Looking For

2–5 years of professional experience in interior design, architecture, or design-build environments

Strong proficiency in Rhino, Revit, and Adobe Creative Suite

Experience producing construction drawings and coordinating with consultants

Strong understanding of materials, detailing, and how things are built

Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines across concurrent projects

Clear and professional communication skills, both internally and with clients/vendors

Highly organized with strong attention to detail

Proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with a high level of ownership

Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

Passion for hospitality, retail, and thoughtfully executed spaces
