Design Assistant Cambridge, East of England, England
Job description
Cambridge - Permanent, full-time
The 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.
You’ll find Neptune Cambridge in the close-knit village of Harston, just outside this cultural and picturesque city. The building itself, the former Three Horseshoes inn, dates back to the early 19th century – though you'll find a twist on it with a contemporary, architecturally-sympathetic building next door, joined by a glass walkway. We’ve also decorated it from top to toe with our signature, understated aesthetic.
Across all locations, we stay united by our company values: Do The Right Thing, Do It Together, Aim High and Keep It Real.
We are a growing business that encourages our people to grow with us. Neptune’s goal is to ensure we have a diverse and inclusive work environment, where all of our employees have equal access to opportunities and everyone’s voices are heard.
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.
