SINCLAIRS HOTELS & RESORTS
Design Guru
Design Lead — Interiors & Architecture
Kolkata • On-site, lots of it • Full-Time • 6+ Years Experience
Why "Guru"Because we are not hiring someone to make renders. We are hiring the person who decides what a Sinclairs room feels like when you walk in, what the bar in the Dooars looks like at dusk, how a kitchen in Kalimpong actually flows — and then draws it, details it, and stands on site until it is built the way it was drawn. Nine hotels, a new-build on 22 acres, and a refurbishment pipeline that has been waiting for exactly this person. One seat. All of it.
The Short VersionSinclairs Hotels & Resorts runs nine properties from the Himalayas to the Andamans — a listed, debt-free group with real cash and a decision to spend it on the estate. Every design project so far has gone to outside consultants. You bring it in-house: interiors and architecture, concept to handover, across everything we build or rebuild.
You will draw, in AutoCAD and SketchUp and whatever the job needs. You will write the BOQ and hold the contractor to it.
You will pick the FF&E; and argue with the Purchase Manager about it. You will plan a kitchen with the Group Executive Chef. And you will spend responsible time in Chalsa, Kalimpong, Darjeeling and Port Blair — because the drawing is not done until the space is.
We want both halves in one person: an interior designer's eye and an architect's discipline. Make a space feel like where it is. Also read the structural drawing, coordinate the services, and know the joinery can be built by the carpenter who is actually going to build it.
What's Ahead• Year one: Sinclairs design standards and a materials and FF&E; library exist because you made them; the refurbishment pipeline is designed, drawn and costed; the Chalsa concept is owned in-house with consultants managed against it.
• Years two and three: Chalsa goes from your drawings to opening day; a small design and drafting team works for you; the group has a play
