ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT DESIGNER

Location: Sandy, Utah

Reports to: VP of Development & Design

Compensation: $65k-$95k

Company Overview

Our client is a fast-casual restaurant group with a well-established and growing presence across multiple states in the Western U.S. Known for fresh, house-made offerings prepared daily, they are in an active expansion phase — opening new locations while continuously refining the guest experience and raising the standard of what their restaurants can be. The culture is collaborative and people-first, with strong investment in design, operations, and brand consistency.

Your Role:

As the Interior Project Designer, you will lead restaurant design projects from initial concept through construction documentation — balancing brand vision, operational needs, budgets, and construction realities to create guest environments that are beautiful, functional, and scalable across a growing multi-state footprint.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead restaurant design projects from initial concept through construction documentation.

• Create and refine test-fits, site plans, floor plans, elevations, and layouts.

• Develop restaurant environments that support guest experience and operational excellence.

• Coordinate with architects, engineers, consultants, and internal stakeholders.

• Support entitlement, zoning, design review, and permitting processes.

• Review construction documents, RFIs, submittals, and design packages.

• Refine finishes, lighting, signage, millwork, and interior environments.

• Manage design schedules, deliverables, and consultant coordination.

• Continuously improve and evolve the restaurant prototype to support future growth.

What You’ll Bring:

• 8+ years in architecture, interior architecture, restaurant, hospitality, or retail design.

• Strong experience developing test-fits, floor plans, elevations, and construction documentation.

• Working knowledge of zoning, entitlement, permitting, and building codes.

• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with exceptional communication skills.

• Proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative Suite; Bluebeam and rendering tools a plus.

• Experience with BIM 360 / Autodesk Construction Cloud and Procore preferred.

Why Join?

This is a rare opportunity to help shape a brand from the inside — not just execute someone else’s vision. You’ll work directly alongside senior leadership, influence prototype evolution, and see your designs come to life in communities across multiple states. The organization is established enough to offer real resources and runway, yet early enough in its growth story that your contributions will be visible and lasting.
