Senior Design-Build Consultant

High-End Residential Renovations | Kitchens • Baths • Whole Homes


NRC Design Build is expanding and seeking an experienced Design-Build Consultant who can confidently lead projects from concept through contract.

This role is ideal for a high-level professional who understands both design and construction, can prepare accurate project estimates, and enjoys guiding homeowners through the process of transforming their homes.

We are looking for someone who naturally connects the dots between space planning, construction knowledge, client trust, and closing projects.

About NRC Design Build

Since 1996, NRC Design Build has built a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, integrity, and client satisfaction throughout the Chicagoland area.

We specialize in high-quality residential renovations, including:

  • Kitchens
  • Bathrooms
  • Basements
  • Whole-home renovations


Our marketing engine consistently generates qualified inbound leads, allowing our consultants to focus on designing, estimating, and closing projects, rather than prospecting.

With strong growth in recent years, we are expanding our team to support increasing demand from high-end homeowners.

The Opportunity

This is a high-earning role for the right professional.

You will work directly with qualified homeowners to:

• Develop thoughtful space plans and design concepts

• Translate design into real construction scope and cost

• Prepare detailed project estimates

• Guide clients through design decisions and budgets

• Present proposals and secure signed renovation contracts

Our top consultants thrive because they can bridge the gap between creative vision and real-world construction execution.


Full Team Support

You will be supported by a strong internal team so you can focus on what you do best.

You’ll have:

• A Project Manager handling site coordination, scheduling, and crew management

• A Design Director and Jr. Designer assisting with drawings and design development

• A CRM system and estimating tools

• A steady flow of qualified inbound leads

Your focus: design, estimating, and closing projects.


Who Thrives in This Role

The ideal candidate already understands how design-build really works.

You likely have experience as:

• A senior interior designer

• A design-build consultant

• A remodeling sales professional

• A residential construction estimator with design experience

You are confident discussing:

• Construction costs

• Framing and structural considerations

• Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems

• Cabinetry, finishes, and materials

• Project scope and budgeting

Most importantly, you know how to build trust with clients and close projects.

Qualifications

• 5 years experience in residential remodeling or design-build

• Strong knowledge of construction methods and material costs

• Proven ability to estimate and sell renovation projects

• Experience with AutoCAD or design software

• Strong communication and client management skills

• Reliable transportation for client meetings

Interior Design degree preferred but not required for experienced professionals.

Compensation

This role is designed for high performers.

• Base: $75,000 structured commissions

• High earning potential for strong producers

• Flexible schedule: Monday–Friday 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM

• 1099 subcontractor with potential transition to permanent role

Top performers in similar roles often exceed six-figure earnings.
