Open Positions

Commercial Interior Designer
Location: Mount Temple, Co. Westmeath (Hybrid – 3 days in-studio)
Contract: Full-Time
Level: Mid–Senior
Salary: Subject to experience 
 

 
Hi from Rigney Forge
We’re a small, ambitious design studio based just outside Athlone in Co.Westmeath, and we specialise in creating immersive, customer-first spaces and brands in food retail, garden centres, hardware, hospitality, and more.

At the heart of what we do is a simple mission: to design environments that people love to be in—spaces that are thoughtful, sustainable, and rooted in community. Our team is a mix of interior designers and brand designers. We collaborate closely with our clients and bring ideas to life with care and clarity.


 
About the Role

This role is a lovely mix of big-picture thinking and technical follow-through. You’ll help shape exciting concepts, then roll up your sleeves to turn them into detailed, production-ready designs. We focus on the design in our project, so we don’t manufacture—but you’ll be the key communicator between our creative ideas and the shopfitters, signage makers, and suppliers who help bring them to life.


 
What You’ll Be Doing
  • Designing creative, customer-focused spaces that bring brands to life
  • Creating mood boards, layouts, and 3D visuals to tell a design story
  • Producing clear technical drawings and material specs for suppliers
  • Collaborating with shopfitters and fabricators to make it all real
  • Visiting sites to support installs and keep things on track
  • Working closely with our small, hands-on team to deliver great work—fast
 

 
What We’re Looking For
  • Around 5+ years of experience in commercial interior design, ideally retail
  • A balance of creative flair and technical know-how
  • Proficiency in SketchUp & Layout, Adobe Suite (InDesign & Photoshop)
  • AutoCAD and Vray are a bonus
  • A good understanding of materials, finishes, and how things get built
  • Confidence working with suppliers and sharing your ideas clearly.
  • Someone organised, flexible, and up for the pace of a growing studio.
  • Full driver’s licence and fluent English
 

 
Perks & What We Offer
  • Salary between €45,000 – €60,000, depending on experience
  • Training or personal development allowance
  • Laptop, tech setup and support, and full access to all design tools
  • Extra time off at Christmas and on your birthday
  • Flexible hours and hybrid working options
  • Be part of a growing studio with opportunities for career development within the business. 
  • A relaxed studio setting with a team who love what they do
