Our project pipeline is fast-paced and international, with multiple projects often running concurrently across different markets. We're looking for someone with a strong design eye who is equally comfortable getting into the detail and taking ownership of their workload. Key Responsibilities Develop store designs from initial survey and site information through to approved design intent packages. Adapt established Kurt Geiger store concepts to different footprints, formats and site conditions while maintaining brand consistency. Produce fixture layouts, reflected ceiling plans, flooring plans, elevations, sections and detailed design drawings as required.

Develop shopfronts, signage, finishes, lighting layouts and architectural elements within the established store concept. Coordinate store layouts with visual merchandising requirements, product densities, operational requirements and customer circulation. Review surveys, landlord drawings, department store information and technical criteria and incorporate requirements into the design. Prepare comprehensive drawing and visual packages for landlord and design approvals, responding to comments and mark-ups as required.
