Residential Remodeling Design Consultant
Love great design? Love working with people? Know how to turn a great idea into a sold remodeling project?
Blackdog Builders is looking for an experienced Design Consultant to join our team!
This isn't a position where you sit behind a desk and simply create designs. Our Design Consultants work directly with homeowners from the first conversation through the design and sales process — listening to what they want, creating thoughtful remodeling solutions, and helping them feel confident moving forward with Blackdog to make those ideas a reality.
We're looking for someone who brings together residential design talent, strong relationship-building skills, and the ability to sell.
What You'll Do
-
Meet with homeowners to understand their needs, style, priorities, and budget.
-
Create residential remodeling designs that balance function, aesthetics, budget, and constructability.
-
Build strong client relationships and guide homeowners through the design and sales process.
-
Present designs, recommendations, and proposals in a way that helps clients confidently make decisions.
-
Work with clients to make selections of products such as cabinets, counters, plumbing fixtures, doors and windows, etc.
-
Partner with our Estimator, who reviews project scope and develops pricing for the remodeling portion of your projects — giving you the support to focus on great design and the client relationship.
-
Translate the final design, scope, and pricing into clear, professional agreements for client approval.
-
Collaborate with our drafters, project managers, carpenters, and other members of the Blackdog team to bring projects from concept to construction.
-
Keep clients and teammates informed and projects moving forward.
Who We're Looking For
Someone who can design AND sell.
Ideally, you bring:
-
5+ years of residential design, remodeling, and/or related sales experience.
-
A proven ability to sell high-value projects, products, or services.
-
Strong residential design skills and a basic understanding of residential construction.
-
Industry accreditation in the remodeling or kitchen and bath industry such as CKD, CBD, or CGR
-
Experience with CAD/design software such as Chief Architect, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Revit, or 20/20 Design.
-
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
-
The ability to listen, ask great questions, and translate a client's ideas into a project they want to move forward with.
-
Strong organization, attention to detail, and follow-through.
-
The ability to work independently while also being a true team player.
Chief Architect experience is a definite plus!
