Interior Designer - 2018

Where does Architecture stop and Interiors begin? A question Stantec believes has profound possibilities.   We believe that the best design is created through spirited collaboration. Good design extends beyond the physical elements of a space—good design shapes our lives, influences our behaviors and interactions, and has purpose. We strive to design spaces that are meaningful and memorable for our communities.   Stantec’s Calgary office has an immediate opportunity for an Junior Interior Designer to become part of our dynamic team.   We are looking for a designer who acts as a mediator to bring voice and amplify a position where interior design is interdisciplinary in nature: a dialogue formed by architecture, art, graphics, product design, fashion, film, engineering, history, literature, philosophy, psychology; someone excited to explore the intangible in shaping the tangible.   Be a part of our creative team, and help forge our culture.
