ABOUT THIS ROLE

The Senior Lead Designer is responsible for the complete end-to-end delivery of assigned projects, including specialist technical drawings, project scheduling, site leadership, and vendor coordination.

You handle the most complex drawing categories — automation, home theatre, staircases, and water features — and you are the single accountable person for your site's progress, quality, and timeline.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Prepare specialist drawings: automation, air purifier, staircase, water feature, home theatre
- Lead market research and vendor research for specialised product categories
- Build and own project timelines and production schedules across all disciplines
- Lead full site operations — coordinating civil, carpentry, MEP, finishing, and styling simultaneously
- Own client communication for all project phases from design to handover




- Conduct site styling for project completion and photography
- Mentor and review the work of S1 and below on assigned projects
- Escalate design or site issues to principal with clear context and recommended resolution

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

- Experience with specialist systems: home automation, home theatre, or water features preferred
- Ability to build and manage a project timeline across multiple contractors
- Strong vendor network and market knowledge in Kolkata
- Confident leader — comfortable owning decisions on site under pressure

YOU WILL THRIVE HERE IF

You have run a full project — start to finish — and you know what that actually means. You do not wait to be told when something is going wrong on site. You think in timelines, you know your vendors, and you produce the kind of work that gets photographed.
