Interior Design and Vendor Coordination Internship

About the internship

We are looking for an Interior Design & Vendor Coordination Intern to assist with the renovation and redesign of our office.

Selected intern's day-to-day responsibilities include:

1. Assist with office space planning, interior design concepts, layouts, and design requirements.
2. Research and identify suitable vendors for furniture, carpentry, electrical, civil work, d cor, and other renovation requirements.
3. Communicate with vendors, explain requirements, and coordinate with them throughout the project.
4. Collect, compare, and evaluate vendor quotations and material options.
5. Discuss pricing, timelines, and deliverables with vendors and assist with negotiations.
6. Coordinate with multiple vendors and follow up to ensure work is completed within the required timelines.

10. Assist in managing project-related documentation, quotations, vendor details, and requirements.
