Design Assistant

Knutsford - Permanent, full-time

The role

About this Role
As we continue to grow we are looking for a new Design Assistant to support out Designers. Our Design Assistants are really busy people, skilled in juggling lots of projects as part of our Home and Kitchen Design Services.

Responsibilities include:

• Review and revise CAD-based designs and quotations
• Put together design quotes and presentation packs
• Manage and progress multiple design projects, working closely with the design and installation project management teams
• Update and maintain accurate customer records using a number of software packages
• Continually build your Neptune product and system knowledge and support the wider store team in their design and system development too
• Actively contribute to the growth and development of the store

Our stores are open 7 days a week and so it's important that you'll have flexibility to work during the week and at weekends also.

While most of our stores are renovations and reimaginings of old buildings, Neptune Knutsford is our own building through and through, built entirely from scratch by our team. Tucked away in the heart of the countryside, just south of the town of Knutsford, it's designed to blend perfectly into its idyllic surroundings and the land's agricultural past. Locally sourced and reclaimed bricks and tiles, as well as timber-clad outbuildings give Neptune Knutsford the feel of a converted barn. To complete the picture, we've created tranquil pockets of garden surrounding the store and have seeded the adjoining paddock with wildflowers to lend our support to local wildlife. You may well spot our resident peacock strutting its stuff.

Across all locations, we stay united by our company values: Do The Right Thing, Do It Together, Aim High and Keep It Real.

Our Story
Founded in 1996 by friends John Sims-Hilditch and Giles Redman, Neptune design and make pieces for your whole home. Recognised for their exacting standards, design-led aesthetic and expert craftsmanship, they're perhaps most known for kitchens - with heirloom-worthy dressers not far behind. Neptune's trademark 'look' is British: refined, simple, sturdy, and with an almost obsessive attention to detail. They're also respected for their commitment to craft and quality. Put simply, they make things they're proud of, and that are designed to last a lifetime.
