3D Interior Designer

This is a desk-based creative and technical role. You do not manage on-site styling or physical installations. Instead, you synthesise commercial objectives, brand guidelines, and procurement fit-out inventories to create high-impact, photorealistic visual models and exact interior fit-out plans for production teams and suppliers to execute.

Key Accountabilities & Responsibilities

3D Visualisation & Render Generation

* Produce photorealistic 3D models and renders of all key hospitality environments and public zones to support commercial pitching, executive sign-off, and host city previews.
* Develop realistic lighting, material textures, and spatial views that accurately represent the final build environment.
* Maintain a central 3D asset library of standard SailGP furniture, fixtures, bars, and branded architectural elements.

Interior Spatial Planning & Fit-Out Detailing

* Design detailed interior floor plans, ceiling plans, and interior elevation layouts for premium hospitality structures, guest lounges, and commercial sponsor activations.
* Plan interior spatial flow, bar/catering service layouts, lounge seating arrangements, and audio-visual placement to ensure both operational efficiency and a premium guest experience.
* Produce clear Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FF&E) schedules and interior layout packs for procurement and local fit-out contractors.

Brand Integration & Commercial Alignment

* Collaborate with the Brand and Marketing teams to ensure all interior visual assets align with brand guidelines and sponsor integration requirements.
* Work with the Infrastructure Planning & Procurement team to ensure specified interior materials, furniture ranges, and fit-out elements match available inventory and budget constraints.
* Ensure interior plans align perfectly with the structural footprints defined by the Technical Architectural Designer.

Key Interfaces

* Internal: Design Lead (Line Manager); Site Layout Designer; Technical Architectural Designer; Commercial, Hospitality & Partner Services Directors; Brand/Marketing Teams.
* External: Interior Fit-Out Contractors; FF&E Suppliers; Branding/Print Vendors.

Experience & Competencies

* Expert proficiency in 3D modeling and rendering software (e.g., SketchUp, 3ds Max, Rhino, V-Ray, Corona, or equivalent) alongside standard 2D drafting tools (AutoCAD/Vectorworks).
* Proven experience in high-end hospitality interior design, spatial design, luxury event environments, or experiential set design.
* Strong portfolio demonstrating high-impact photorealistic renders and practical interior floor plan layouts.
* Commercial mindset with the ability to balance high-end visual design with real-world budget constraints, modular reuse, and tight build schedules.
