58 Michael Aiduss Interior Design Jobs Hiring Near You

We are seeking a Senior Architectural Designer to join our collaborative design team, working on highly detailed, high-end residential projects both locally and internationally.

This role is ideal for an experienced designer with a strong command of interior architecture, residential detailing, and construction documentation, particularly within traditional and classically influenced architecture. Our projects often pair traditional architectural frameworks with a thoughtful mix of modern, traditional, and eclectic decorative elements and FF&E, so we are looking for someone who understands how architecture, interiors, millwork, materials, and furnishings come together as a cohesive whole.

The Senior Architectural Designer will take significant ownership of projects from design development through construction, working closely with principals, architects, interior designers, consultants, contractors, fabricators, and craftspeople.

This is a full-time, in-office/on-site position, five days per week.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the development of interior architectural plans, elevations, sections, reflected ceiling plans, and detailed construction documentation for high-end residential projects.
• Develop sophisticated architectural details for millwork, cabinetry, paneling, moldings, doors, fireplaces, stairs, ceilings, stone, flooring, bathrooms, kitchens, and other custom interior elements.
• Translate design concepts and precedent imagery into refined, technically accurate, and buildable architectural solutions.
• Produce and oversee coordinated Design Development and Construction Document sets using AutoCAD and Revit.
• Work comfortably within traditional and classically influenced architectural vocabularies, with an understanding of proportion, scale, profiles, materials, and detailing.
• Collaborate closely with interior designers to integrate architecture with decorative schemes, finishes, lighting, fixtures, and FF&E, including projects that intentionally mix traditional and contemporary design elements.
• Coordinate architectural drawings with structural, MEP, lighting, AV, landscape, interior design, kitchen, millwork, and other specialty consultants.
• Review drawings and details produced by junior team members, providing direction, mentorship, and quality control.
• Participate actively in design reviews and contribute thoughtful design and technical solutions.
• Coordinate directly with contractors, fabricators, vendors, and craftspeople to resolve detailing and constructability issues.
• Lead or support construction administration, including site visits, RFIs, submittal and shop drawing reviews, field coordination, punch lists, and resolution of construction issues.
• Communicate confidently with clients, consultants, contractors, building departments, and other project stakeholders.
• Maintain project schedules, finish and material schedules, drawing logs, specification information, and other project documentation.
• Anticipate coordination issues and take ownership of resolving technical challenges throughout the project lifecycle.
• Help maintain the firm's standards for drawing quality, detailing, documentation, and design execution.

What You Bring

• Seven or more years of professional architectural design experience, preferably with a high-end residential architecture, interiors, or multidisciplinary design firm.
• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in architecture, interior architecture, or a related field.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating high-end residential interior architecture and detailing.
• Significant experience developing and documenting traditional, classical, or historically informed residential architecture.
• A sophisticated understanding of how traditional architectural interiors can work alongside modern, traditional, and mixed-style decorative schemes and FF&E.
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and strong working proficiency in Revit.
• Strong knowledge of residential construction methods, materials, millwork, stone, cabinetry, architectural finishes, and custom detailing.
• Demonstrated experience producing highly coordinated Design Development and Construction Document packages.
• Strong understanding of constructability and the ability to develop details from design concept through fabrication and installation.
• Experience coordinating with architects, interior designers, engineers, contractors, fabricators, and specialty consultants.
• Familiarity with building codes, permitting requirements, and approval processes; experience in New York and New Jersey is strongly preferred.
• Substantial construction administration and field experience.
• Excellent organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail.
• Strong written, verbal, graphic, and presentation skills.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and project phases while maintaining a consistently high level of design and documentation quality.
• The judgment and experience to work independently, make informed decisions, and recognize when issues require broader team input.
• A collaborative, solutions-oriented approach and the ability to mentor and guide more junior team members.

Why Join Us

This is an opportunity to work on exceptional, highly crafted residential projects where architecture, interiors, decoration, and craftsmanship are considered at every level.

You will have meaningful influence over the development and execution of projects, collaborate closely with a talented multidisciplinary team, and work directly with skilled consultants, contractors, fabricators, and artisans.

We are looking for someone who appreciates both design refinement and technical rigor—a designer who can move comfortably between the overall character of a room and the precise profile of a molding, between historical precedent and contemporary living, and between an ambitious design idea and the drawings required to build it beautifully.
