CURRENTLY AVAILABLE POSITION(S)
Interior Designer or Design Technologist
Full-Time | In-Office | Calgary, Alberta
SALARY - Competitive compensation commensurate with experience and capability, with group benefits, Health Spending Account program, paid vacation with progressive accrual, and long-term growth opportunities.Position Overview
Studio Ridge is seeking a technically capable, design-oriented Junior-to-Intermediate level Interior Designer or Design Technologist to join our Calgary studio in a full-time, in-office role.
This opportunity is suited to someone with approximately 3–5 years of North American residential interior design experience who values disciplined execution as much as creative thinking. The right candidate will bring a strong technical foundation, current CAD proficiency, a refined design sensibility, and the ability to contribute consistently across multiple project phases.
This position offers meaningful involvement in every phase of a project. This role requires both design thinking and execution. Responsibilities will include CAD-based technical drawing packages, detailing, finish sourcing and coordination, furniture sourcing support, presentations, site coordination, installations, and project documentation.
You should be equally comfortable refining elevations and millwork details as discussing proportion, layering, and materiality. The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, composed under pressure, and capable of balancing creative thinking with disciplined execution.
Some of the large-scale projects we undertake require endurance, adaptability, tenacity, and drive. The work can be demanding, but highly rewarding for those who take pride in seeing exceptional projects realized successfully over time.

The Importance of This Position Within the Studio
The Interior Designer or Design Technologist plays an important role in translating design intent into clear, accurate, buildable documentation and well-coordinated project support.
