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.

You’ll work closely with our Development, Brand, and Operations teams to deliver best-in-class hospitality environments that feel unmistakably Buzzworks.

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

• Minimum 5–8 years’ experience in interior design, with a strong portfolio in hospitality (restaurants/bars; hotel or accommodation experience).
• Degree in Interior Design or equivalent qualification.
• 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

• A love of design and a natural feel for storytelling through space.
• Excitement about helping shape a new chapter for Buzzworks as we move into guest accommodation.
• The ability to take ownership and work independently within a high-performing team.
• A genuine belief in creating feel-good, memorable environments.
• A strong work ethic and hands-on approach — with creativity and flair at your core.

The Buzz

• A rare opportunity to help define the look and feel of a growing hospitality brand expanding into new territory.
• Competitive salary, dependent on experience.
• Flexible working where possible, within a supportive and energetic culture.
• Employee perks including dining discounts, wellness support, and career development.
• Leadership training & development opportunities
• 40% staff discount across all Buzzworks venues
• Wellbeing support – Employee Assistance Programme, wellness hub & discounted gym memberships
• Work within one of Scotland’s most forward-thinking hospitality groups
