Designer – Job Description

The Sales & Design team performs a variety of duties in support of company sales and the exceptional customer experience we are known for. This document outlines the responsibilities and expectations of Designers.

Role Overview

The Designer is responsible for creating precise, aesthetically refined cabinetry layouts using CabinetVision and assisting Account Managers in preparing proposal packages for our luxury outdoor cabinetry clients.

Our clients expect and deserve an elevated experience. The design work produced in this role should reflect the level of detail, sophistication, and professionalism consistent with our high-end brand.

The Designer is a key contributor in Sales & Design Process. You will collaborate closely with management staff, Account Managers (inside sales), and fellow Designers. Success in this role requires the ability to work effectively both independently and within a highly collaborative, open-floor team environment. While Designers typically have limited direct communication with customers, your work directly supports the Customer Experience and plays an essential role in shaping the first impression of our product and service.

Role Expectations

Our Sales & Design Department is a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Designers must be able to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining exceptional accuracy, organization, and attention to detail.

The role requires proficiency in reading and interpreting Construction Documents, customer sketches with dimensions, and an understanding of space planning. A functional layout must always be paired with strong design aesthetics, particularly important when serving a discerning luxury market.

Job Duties

Develop an in-depth knowledge of product line, including cabinet models, available modifications, dimensions, features, finishes, door styles, and pricing.
Create customer designs using CabinetVision according to Design Standards and aligned with the expectations of a high-end luxury clientele.
Prepare pricing quotes using internal operating system (Quickbase).
Obtain and incorporate shipping quotes into project pricing.
Deliver complete proposal packages internally to Account Managers in accordance with Standards.
Maintain accurate project information and notes within internal operating system.
Process orders following established procedures, including preparing shop drawings, appliance specifications, and production-ready CabinetVision files.

It is expected that a Designer will complete on average no less than 5-7, up to 10+ designs with quotes for complete proposals on a daily basis; this may be comprised of New Designs, Redesigns, or a combination of the two. It is not unrealistic for a Designer to complete higher volumes than this stated minimum, and previous Designers have attained averages of 8-12 designs/day. It is understood that some designs will require more time than others, and this per day expectation will be considered as an average per week, and over the course of one month, for evaluation as part of the discretionary bonus. For example, if a fewer number of designs are created, but the total value and size of those designs is also larger and proportionate, the expectation will be considered as attained.

Skills & Experience

Strong computer skills are required.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a team setting that values varied personalities, backgrounds, and strengths.
An eye for design and a fundamental understanding of design principles and spatial layout.
Experience in Construction, Interior Design, or Furniture industries is a plus but not required. Ability to read and interpret Construction Drawings and space plans is required.
Familiarity with design software (e.g., CAD, SketchUp, Revit, or similar) is preferred but not required.
We are not specifically seeking an experienced cabinetry designer. We are looking for a creative, detail-oriented, well-organized professional who fits our collaborative culture. The right candidate will receive thorough training and support to acquire the necessary skills.

Working Hours

Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM–5:00 PM (40-hour work week), with occasional weekday overtime based on business needs.
