Wilson Butler Architects•Boston, MA

5d•$70,000 - $75,000

About The Position

Wilson Butler Architects is an innovative and collaborative design studio specializing in arts and entertainment experiences. (www.wilsonbutler.com) Our award-winning portfolio features projects ranging from historic theater restorations to ground breaking spaces aboard the cruise ship industry’s most cutting edge vessels. The firm’s open studio environment encourages a fun and creative process. We are located in Boston’s Financial District overlooking Post Office Square. The exciting news: we are growing and looking for an Interior Designer to join our spirited team! Similar to Architects, Interiors Designers at Wilson Butler Architects are global thinkers with the skillset to thoroughly work out the details behind their ideas. They possess the ability to establish an overall design vision for a project, successfully translate it for clients and see it through to completion; the ability to visualize 3D spaces, and to understand scale and proportion. It is essential that Interior Designers have an understanding of how things are built (millwork/casework, stairs, railings, etc) and be able and willing to help with the development of architectural details. Interior Designers are a resource of knowledge on materials, products and furniture for every design team at the firm. This is a highly collaborative role that requires excellent organization with a skill for prioritizing demands for more than one project at a time, while completing work with consistent accuracy. We want to see you grow and succeed! We encourage our staff to develop their skills and offer meaningful contributions to the firm. Our size allows for each team member to try their hand at every aspect of the design process. However, this is a product of more than our size, it emanates from the attitude and culture of our Directors and Principals. Our leadership actively engages the staff in all aspects of the design process as well as the business. We encourage our employees, when their skills and ambition dictate, to lead client meetings, assisting with business development needs and open new project sectors. Your ideas and voice will be heard.
