Part-Time | 20–30 Hours Per Week
McLean and Tircuit LLC is an award-winning boutique Interior Architecture and Design firm specializing in luxury private residences, boutique hospitality, multi-family communities, and distinctive commercial environments. We believe exceptional design begins with understanding how people live, work, and connect. Every project is approached with creativity, technical expertise, and a commitment to creating spaces that are as personal as they are beautiful.
Build More Than a Portfolio. Build a Career:
McLean and Tircuit LLC is seeking an organized, technically minded, and highly motivated Interior Design Project & Procurement Coordinator to join our growing boutique Interior Architecture and Design firm.
This position is ideal for an emerging interior designer who wants far more than a traditional entry-level role. Working directly with the firm's Principal, you will gain hands-on experience throughout every phase of the design process—from technical documentation and procurement to client communication, project coordination, installations, and design implementation.
We believe exceptional designers are developed through mentorship, trust, meaningful responsibility, and real project experience. You'll receive guidance and support while also being given the opportunity to work independently, develop confidence in your abilities, and take ownership of your work as your knowledge and experience grow.
Rather than focusing on a single project type, you'll gain experience across a diverse portfolio that includes luxury private residences, boutique hotels, multi-family communities, corporate offices, and specialty commercial interiors. Every project presents new opportunities to learn, solve challenges, and expand both your technical and professional skills.
If you are naturally organized, detail-oriented, curious, proactive, and excited to become an integral part of a collaborative design studio, we'd love to hear from you.
