About the company

Utopia is an ultra-luxury hospitality and lifestyle brand creating a global ecosystem of properties and experiences.

We develop private villa retreats in beautiful locations around the world, each with high-end service. Utopia also offers a wider ecosystem of leisure experiences and services available both to those staying on property and to external visitors.

Utopia designs and builds its properties in-house. Our projects span the full journey: from concept and architecture to construction, interiors, landscape, guest experience, and long-term operation. For architects and designers, this means contributing on properties from the ground up, with the ability to influence how each place is planned, built, and experienced. For hospitality professionals, it means collaborating with a brand where service is personal, attentive, and built around each guest’s stay.

We’re a young, ambitious team with high standards and a hands-on approach. We value strong ideas, practical thinking, attention to detail, and people who are ready to take ownership of their part of each project. If you’re interested in architecture, design, hospitality, or guest experience, we invite you to explore opportunities with Utopia.

About the role

We are seeking a highly skilled Technical Interior FF&E Specialist with advanced Revit expertise to support the technical delivery of luxury hospitality interior projects.

You'll drive the technical delivery of luxury hospitality interior projects — developing, coordinating, and delivering detailed Revit documentation from Stage 2 through Stage 5. You'll translate design intent into coordinated, buildable, procurement-ready packages within a BIM-led environment, working across high-end hospitality and residential projects.

Portfolio is a must for our selection process — Please share your portfolio (PDF or link) featuring renders, technical drawings, and built project photos (residential, villa, or hospitality). Please clearly indicate your personal contribution to each project (e.g., rendering only, technical detailing, or full project ownership) so we can understand your direct involvement in the design process.

Responsibilities

• Produce and coordinate detailed Revit-based interior documentation across all project stages (2–5)
• Develop technical drawing packages — GA plans, layouts, RCPs, elevations, sections, and bespoke joinery details
• Prepare and manage FF&E and OS&E schedules, specifications, and asset registers
• Ensure documentation is tender-, procurement-, and construction-ready
• Coordinate closely with architectural, structural, MEP, and interior design teams within shared BIM environments
• Resolve technical questions on materials, finishes, furniture systems, and bespoke interior elements
• Support FF&E/OS&E procurement documentation, sample tracking, and product approvals
• Maintain consistency, accuracy, and quality across all deliverables

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Interior Architecture or a related field
• 8–15 years of experience in interior architectural design
• Advanced proficiency in Revit (Architectural)
• Experience on hospitality or residential projects (villas, hotels, resorts)
• Solid understanding of materials, structural elements, detailing, and documentation workflows
• Excellent communication and coordination skills
• Professional English, written and verbal
• Portfolio required — please share via an accessible link, ideally with a focus on residential, villa, or boutique hospitality projects

What we offer

• Global project exposure. Contribute to luxury hospitality projects across Europe, Africa, and Latin America.
• A truly international team. Collaborate across cultures, disciplines, and time zones with people bringing diverse perspectives and expertise.
• Remote collaboration. This opportunity is fully remote, giving you the flexibility to contribute from wherever suits you best.
• From concept to realization. Contribute across the full architectural journey, from early vision and planning to execution and operational experience.
• Exposure to luxury standards and materials. Engage with elevated design references, premium finishes, and globally inspired concepts.
