About The Position

Help homeowners imagine a better way to live—and lead the team that brings it to life. Design is the act of imagining a world that you want to live in and then going and making a piece of that world. That’s what we do for our clients. At Lamont Bros., we help our clients imagine a better way to live, then transform their homes into a reflection of that vision. We're looking for someone who believes design is about far more than selecting finishes or producing drawings. You believe great design begins by deeply understanding people, asking better questions, uncovering possibilities, and helping others see what they couldn't imagine on their own. If you're passionate about thoughtful design, love working directly with homeowners, and enjoy leading talented people toward a shared vision, this may be the most rewarding role of your career. About Lamont Bros. Lamont Bros. is one of Portland's leading design-build remodeling firms, specializing in thoughtful, high-quality home transformations. Our clients trust us with one of the most significant investments they'll make—not simply because we build exceptional projects, but because we help them make exceptional decisions. We combine thoughtful design, disciplined execution, and an extraordinary client experience to create homes that are as personal as they are beautiful. The Opportunity As a Senior Residential Design Advisor/Design Consultant, you'll become the creative leader of each project long before construction begins. You'll help homeowners articulate their goals, shape the vision for their home, and confidently move from possibility to reality. You'll also lead the collaborative process that turns that vision into a successful project. Working alongside the rest of the design team, project managers, engineers, and trade partners, you'll ensure everyone is aligned around a common purpose while serving as the client's primary advocate and trusted advisor. You'll spend your days leading thoughtful conversations, building trust, guiding design decisions, aligning multidisciplinary teams, and helping remarkable projects come to life. Success in this role comes from earning trust, leading thoughtful conversations, and helping clients confidently invest in exceptional design.
