HosScans is a growing North Texas firm at the intersection of commercial interior design, drafting, and cutting-edge LiDAR reality capture. We're seeking a Commercial Interior Designer to join our collaborative team and work directly alongside our registered NCIDQ interior designer on a steady backlog of commercial projects.
This is an ideal opportunity for a commercial interior design professional who wants to sharpen their construction-document skills, build meaningful NCIDQ experience, and grow into a leadership role as we expand.
You'll work on impactful commercial projects, including:
· Corporate & office interiors
· Commercial tenant improvements and finish-outs
· Retail and hospitality spaces
· Industrial and warehouse environments
· As-built and renovation documentation
Responsibilities
· Produce clean, accurate, permit-ready construction documents (CDs) in AutoCAD — this is the core of the role
· Develop floor plans, RCPs, elevations, and finish/detail sheets that meet code and client standards
· Support interior design development, finish selections, materials research, and space planning
· Assist with FF&E selection, specifications, and package preparation
· Coordinate with clients, field/scan teams, and consultants
· Turn point cloud / scan data into precise 2D drawings (we'll train you on our scan-to-CAD workflow)
· Participate in project meetings and design reviews
· Support projects throughout the design and construction process
Qualifications
· Bachelor's degree from an accredited Interior Design program (or equivalent experience)
· 3+ years of professional commercial interior design or drafting experience
· Expert-level AutoCAD skills — required
· Demonstrated ability to independently produce construction documents (portfolio sample required)
· Working knowledge of building codes and construction documentation
· Strong organizational and communication skills
· Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment
Preferred (Not Required)
· Revit / BIM experience (a plus — AutoCAD is our primary tool)
· NCIDQ certification or active candidacy
· Point cloud / LiDAR / scan-to-CAD experience (NavVis, Faro, Leica, Matterport, ReCap)
· Experience with tenant improvements and commercial finish-outs
· Skills in 3D renderings/models
Preferred Background
Candidates from reputable Interior Design programs such as:
· Texas Tech University
· University of North Texas (UNT)
· University of Oklahoma
· Other accredited Interior Design programs
What We're Looking For
This position is best suited for someone passionate about commercial interiors who can back up their design sense with strong, code-compliant construction documents. If you love producing a clean, coordinated CD set — not just concepts — you'll thrive here.
Candidates whose primary interest is residential interior design or aesthetic/decor work may not find this role aligned with their long-term goals.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
· Work directly alongside a registered NCIDQ interior designer — meaningful, documentable experience toward your certification
· Competitive base ($72,000–$85,000) plus performance bonuses
· A clear path to grow into a design/drafting lead role as we expand
· State-of-the-art LiDAR scanning and integrated scan-to-design-to-build workflows
· Small, fast-moving team with innovative tools and national reach
· Hybrid potential for the right candidate
Interested candidates should submit a resume, portfolio, project experience, and — importantly — a sample of a construction document set they personally produced to office@spaceplanningspecialists.com for consideration.
Pay: $72,000.00 - $85,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- Paid time off
- Professional development assistance
Work Location: In person

Interior Designer Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a interior designer in Texas?
Texas does not mandate a state license for all interior designers, but the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners registers interior designers who meet education and experience requirements and have passed the NCIDQ examination. Earning a bachelor's degree in interior design from a Council for Interior Design Accreditation program is the standard starting point. Registration is not legally required to practice, but most commercial clients and larger Texas firms expect it or actively prefer it when hiring.
How much do interior designers make in Texas?
Interior designers in Texas earn a median of about $65,160 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $39,430 for the lowest 10% to over $103,850 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire interior designers in Texas?
Employers hiring interior designers in Texas right now include DLR, HBG Design, and EskewDumezRipple, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Texas's concentration of corporate headquarters, major hotel brands, and large healthcare systems means interior designers here work across a wider range of commercial project types than in most other states.
Which Texas cities have the most interior designer jobs?
Dallas, Austin, and Houston have the most interior designer openings in Texas. Houston's energy-sector offices and growing medical center complex drive strong commercial demand, Dallas attracts hospitality and corporate headquarters projects, and Austin's rapid tech industry expansion has fueled a surge in office and mixed-use residential work that keeps a steady stream of design roles open.
Are there remote interior designer jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're limited. About 30% of interior designer openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most design work. The tasks most suited to remote arrangements are concept development, specification writing, and client presentations, while site visits, contractor coordination, and installation oversight almost always require an in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a interior designer in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an internship or junior designer role at a mid-size Texas firm, where smaller teams give new designers direct project exposure faster than large studios. Dallas and Houston firms that serve the multifamily residential market frequently bring on design assistants and junior drafters who are still building their portfolios. Pursuing NCIDQ candidacy early and building a portfolio of student or freelance residential projects signals seriousness to Texas hiring managers before you have formal work history.
Where can I find and apply to interior designer jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to interior designer jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings updated regularly. Find roles that fit your experience and specialty, then apply directly to the employer through each listing.
