LEVY DYKEMA is looking for a furniture-focused interior designer or someone with 5 years’ experience in commercial furniture selection and procurement to join our Austin office. We’re looking for people who are ambitious and passionate about how furniture makes the design; people who live and breathe FF&E and are excited to teach others all about it.

LEVY DYKEMA is proud of our diversity – in our team, in our projects, and in the work each person does to deliver our clients’ success. You’ll get the opportunity to be part of our close-knit, collaborative studio and work on a variety of project types, gaining experience in every phase from programming through construction. People here are quick to lend a hand, supportive, and excited about both teaching and learning. We believe everyone has something to contribute and on a project team, each member gets the opportunity to influence the outcome of the project.

We engage our clients throughout the process to develop amazing solutions that meet their needs, intentions, and budgets. We elevate design through a balance of innovation and sound principals, where the focus is on the client experience throughout. LEVY DYKEMA is proud to bring a renewed focus to our clients and our craft.

We’re looking for people as exceptional as we are – entrepreneurial, adaptable, and fun to be around. We’ll give you the opportunity to learn and grow at your own pace, without setting limits on your advancement. We pride ourselves on a “no drama” workplace; we enjoy each other’s company but know when it’s time to bear down and get the work done.

In this role, you will be exposed to a variety of tasks, including:

• Researching products and compiling a furniture library by function and project type
• Maintaining a vendor database & physical/digital furniture resource library
• Writing furniture specifications and developing procurement timelines
• Negotiating pricing and placing holds for orders
• Coordinating orders, shipping, warehousing, and final delivery
• Working with vendors to plan installation, overseeing installs, and creating furniture punch lists
• Assisting with final accessory shopping and styling
  
  

LEVY DYKEMA Is Looking For People Who

• Have a professional degree in Interior Design, licensure preferred, or direct, transferable experience in procurement
• Have 5 years’ minimum professional experience, with a focus on amenity spaces and ancillary furniture procurement, as well as coordinating with furniture dealers.
• Are fluent in Studio Designer, Word, Excel, and Powerpoint
• Are competent in Revit (experience with AutoCAD, Sketchup, Bluebeam, Lumion, and Enscape are all big pluses)
• Have excellent organizational and multitasking skills
• Are great communicators
• Are excited to teach
  
  

At LEVY DYKEMA, part of our Texas Contemporary spirit is our dedication and role of giving back to the community. We accomplish this through our community volunteer work as a company and individually. Paid time off is provided to our employees for their volunteer work every month. LEVY DYKEMA offers additional benefits including IRA matching, full medical, dental, vision, wellness programs, and a paid “Birthday Holiday”. We are excited to have you join us at our downtown office at 7th and Congress (where we provide paid parking!)
