Apply for this role (opens in a new tab)Junior Designer — BostonJewett Farms + Co. is looking for a talented Junior Designer to join our Boston design team. This role is for someone early in their design career who has strong fundamentals, excellent design instincts, proficiency in SketchUp Pro, and a genuine desire to learn the craft of designing highly customized residential cabinetry, kitchens, furniture, and architectural millwork. You'll work closely with our Head of Design in Boston and collaborate with JF's designers, technical designers, sales team, and craftspeople. This is an opportunity to learn within a company where design and fabrication are closely connected. You'll see projects move from an initial idea through design development, engineering, fabrication, delivery, and installation—and learn how excellent design decisions translate into things that actually get built.
What You'll Do:
Support the Head of Design and other JF designers on active residential projects.
Assist with layouts, elevations, details, material selections, presentations, and project documentation.
Produce and develop project drawings using SketchUp Pro.
Participate in client and internal design meetings.
Help prepare for client presentations and design reviews.
Research materials, hardware, appliances, fixtures, and other project components.
Assist with showroom organization, samples, materials, and presentations.
Coordinate information between design, technical design, sales, and production.
Maintain project information using JF's CRM and project-management systems.
Learn how custom cabinetry and millwork are designed, engineered, and built.
Gradually take on greater project responsibility as your skills develop.
What We're Looking For:
Education or early professional experience in interior design, architecture, furniture design, kitchen design, or a related field.
Approximately 0–3 years of professional experience.
Proficiency in SketchUp Pro. You should be comfortable working in the software when you arrive—we are not looking to train someone in SketchUp from the ground up.A portfolio that demonstrates strong design instincts and attention to detail.
Strong drawing and spatial-visualization skills.
Excellent spatial awareness and an understanding of proportion, material, and composition.
Curiosity about how things are made.
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
Comfortable communicating and collaborating with a team.
Willingness to ask questions, accept feedback, and learn.
Self-motivated and willing to jump in where needed.
Comfortable learning and working within CRM and project-management software.
An interest in high-end residential design and custom fabrication.
What This Position Can BecomeWe are not looking for someone to remain a design assistant indefinitely.
The goal is to develop the right person into a JF Designer capable of independently managing projects and working directly with clients and design professionals.
You'll work closely with experienced designers and technical designers and have direct exposure to our fabrication process in York, Maine.
Over time, you'll learn not only how to design beautiful spaces, but how to understand construction, materials, cost, client relationships, and the decisions that turn a concept into a successful finished project.
About the Role:
This is an in-person position based in our Boston showroom. There is some flexibility when circumstances require it, but this is not a work-from-home or remote position. For a junior designer especially, we believe being physically present matters. You'll learn by working alongside experienced designers, participating in client conversations, reviewing materials and samples, and seeing how design decisions move through technical development and fabrication. About Jewett Farms + Co. Jewett Farms + Co. designs and builds highly customized cabinetry, kitchens, furniture, and architectural millwork for residential projects throughout the country. Our work brings together design and craft. Because we build what we design, our designers develop a deep understanding of materials, construction, proportion, and detail.
