Rose Valley Renovation is a growing renovation company specializing in high-quality residential renovations throughout the GTA. Our projects primarily include bathrooms, kitchens, basements, condominiums, and full-home renovations, with occasional commercial interior projects.

The successful candidate will help homeowners visualize their renovation, develop design concepts, create presentations and renderings, and assist with material selections and specifications.
This is a collaborative role. While the designer will take ownership of concept development, presentations, renderings, and selections, design direction will be developed alongside ownership to ensure consistency with Rose Valley Renovation's standards, processes, and client experience.
The majority of our projects are bathroom renovations, followed by kitchens, basements, condominiums, and full-home remodels.

As the company continues to grow, there will be opportunities for increased involvement in design operations, client experience, project development, and the overall growth of our renovation division. We are looking for someone interested in building a long-term relationship with our company and growing alongside our team.
