Lead Interior Designer

Ambedo Homes | Calgary, Alberta

Full-Time | Hybrid

There are places where you can do good work. There are places where you can do great work. But this is where you come to do your best work.

At Ambedo Homes, we’re growing, and we’re excited to be bringing interior design in-house for the very first time!

We’re looking for a talented, motivated designer to lead our interior design projects and help build the department from the ground up. This is an opportunity to take ownership of your work, bring your ideas to life across our custom homes, and play a meaningful role in shaping the future of design at Ambedo.

We’re a small, team-oriented team with big plans for the future. We value fresh perspectives, creative thinking, and people who aren’t afraid to challenge the way things have always been done.

You’ll work closely with our leadership team to help establish the processes, standards, and direction of our new design department, with opportunities for your role to evolve as the company continues to grow.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll take the lead on our interior design projects, from initial concept through to construction. Your responsibilities will include:

- Leading client design meetings, selections, and presentations.
- Developing design concepts, space plans, millwork, and cabinetry details.
- Preparing design drawings, specifications, and construction documentation.
- Coordinating with trades, suppliers, and our construction team.
- Managing design budgets, pricing, sourcing, and procurement.
- Conducting site visits and resolving design-related challenges.




- Collaborating with leadership to establish processes, standards, and documentation for our new design department.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re not necessarily looking for the person with the most experience on paper. We’re looking for someone who brings the right combination of creativity, initiative, and work ethic to the table.

Someone who

- Takes pride in their work and genuinely cares about the details.
- Thinks creatively, solves problems, and isn’t afraid to bring new ideas forward.
- Takes initiative, follows through, and is comfortable working independently.
- Enjoys working with clients and building robust relationships.
- Understands how great design translates into real-world construction.
- Values teamwork, collaboration, and learning from others.
- Is organized, adaptable, and excited by the opportunities that come with a growing company.

A few technical things we’re looking for:
- Experience in residential interior design, ideally within custom homes or high-end residential projects.
- Strong knowledge of materials, construction methods, and detailing.
- Proficiency in AutoCAD, SketchUp, and general computer applications.
- Ability to produce and interpret drawings, specifications, and construction documents.
- Experience working with clients, trades,



and suppliers.
- Formal design education is an asset, but we equally value hands-on experience and demonstrated ability.

Don’t check every box? That’s okay!

We know great designers come from different backgrounds, and we’re just as interested in your ideas, attitude, and ability to learn as we are in your experience.

A Little More About the Role

This is a full-time, salaried position with a hybrid work arrangement between home, our showhome, and project sites.

As we continue to grow, we anticipate transitioning to an office-based environment in the latter part of 2027.

How to Apply

We’d love to see your resume and portfolio, but we’re also interested in getting to know the person behind them!

To apply, please submit your resume and design portfolio (uploaded under Supporting Documents) through Indeed, and take a few minutes to answer our three application questions.

There are no right or wrong answers! We’re simply interested in how you think, what motivates you, and what makes you, you.

If this sounds like an opportunity you’d be excited about, we’d love to hear from you!
