Interior Designer II (Themed Entertainment & Attractions)

Cuningham•Orlando, FL

2d•Onsite

About The Position

Great themed environments don't just look the part — they make people feel something the moment they step inside. As an Interior Designer II in our Orlando office, you'll help create those moments, translating story and character into materials, finishes, and spatial details that guests can touch, see, and remember. This is a place to build that craft on real, immersive projects, surrounded by people who care as much about the work as you do. Cuningham's purpose is to design a better world with deep respect for the real one — a purpose that shapes our vision of a world made better by selfless design, and shows up in what we value: staying curious, delighting in the craft, designing responsibly, growing together, and caring for each other. In this role, you'll engage in developing design through all project phases while supporting the technical solutions required by both project design and local code — taking ownership of small to medium portions of project scope and moving them forward independently, with minimal supervision from a project leader. Direct experience in themed entertainment, attraction design, or immersive environments is required.

4–8 years of professional experience in interior design

Explore interior materials and document regenerative material options, building awareness of building codes as they apply to interior materials.
