Interior Designer — 2D Elevations & FFE Specialist

About the Role

Fortezza Interiors is looking for an Interior Designer with a strong specialization in 2D elevations and FFE (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) drawings to join our in-house design team. You'll take approved concepts through to detailed, buildable documentation — working closely with our joinery workshop and MEP engineers so nothing is lost between the drawing and the finished space.

Key Responsibilities

  • Produce detailed 2D elevations for walls, joinery, feature details, and finishes across residential, office, retail, and hospitality projects
  • Develop comprehensive FFE schedules and drawings — specifying furniture, fixtures, lighting, and equipment with accurate dimensions, quantities, and finishes
  • Translate approved concept designs and 3D visualizations into construction-ready 2D documentation
  • Coordinate elevations and FFE layouts with the joinery workshop to ensure drawings are fabrication-accurate
  • Liaise with MEP and site teams to resolve clashes between elevations, services, and furniture placement
  • Maintain drawing standards, symbol libraries, and FFE specification templates for consistency across projects
  • Prepare material and finish boards to accompany elevation packages
  • Support design leads during client presentations with clear, accurate drawing sets
  • Track revisions and manage drawing version control through to final issue-for-construction (IFC) sets

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Interior Design, Architecture, or a related field
  • Minimum 3–6 years of UAE-based experience producing 2D elevations and FFE documentation, ideally within a design-and-build or joinery-integrated studio
  • Strong working knowledge of UAE authority drawing and submission standards (Dubai Municipality, Trakhees, DEWA, etc.)
  • Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD (essential); working knowledge of SketchUp, Revit, or similar 3D software is a plus
  • Strong understanding of joinery detailing, materials, and finishes common to the UAE market
  • Experience preparing FFE schedules for procurement and fit-out teams operating in the UAE
  • Excellent attention to detail and ability to produce accurate, buildable drawings under project timelines
  • Comfortable working across residential, commercial, and retail interior typologies
  • Strong communication skills to coordinate with design, joinery, and MEP teams
  • UAE driving license and valid UAE work eligibility preferred

Nice to Have

  • Experience coordinating drawing sets around DEWA and other authority approvals
  • Prior experience within a Dubai or wider-UAE interior design/joinery studio
  • Portfolio showing UAE residential, commercial, or retail project work
