Job Description

At Buzzworks , we create more than award-winning bars and restaurants -- we create experiences. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and our spaces reflect that same energy, warmth, and attention to detail. With a growing portfolio across Scotland and exciting plans to expand into rooms, we're looking for an experienced Interior Designer who shares our passion for design, quality, and bringing the Buzzworks magic to life.

The Works

As our in-house Interior Designer, you'll lead the creative development, design, and execution of interiors for new venues and refurbishments across our restaurant and bar portfolio -- while also playing a key role in shaping our transition into hotel and guest room design. This is a unique opportunity to influence how Buzzworks' signature style translates into exceptional overnight experiences.

Key Responsibilities

Lead interior design concepts for new builds, refurbishments, and upcoming boutique accommodation projects. Develop full design packages - including mood boards, layouts, FF&E specifications, sample boards, and technical drawings. Oversee the design journey from initial concept through to completion, ensuring timelines, budgets, and brand standards are met. Collaborate with architects, contractors, and suppliers to ensure seamless delivery and consistent quality. Travel to site regularly to support implementation and resolve design issues on the ground. Stay up to date with hospitality design trends, especially around restaurant, bar, and boutique accommodation concepts. Evolve and protect the Buzzworks brand aesthetic, while ensuring each space feels unique and locally inspired.

Requirements

Proven experience managing complex, multi-phase projects from concept through to delivery. Technical proficiency in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite (or similar tools). Strong spatial planning, material, and lighting knowledge. Excellent communication and project coordination skills. Self-motivated with a high attention to detail and strong creative instincts. Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle - site travel is a key part of the role.

What You'll Bring
