Interior Designer II (Themed Entertainment & Attractions)

Great themed environments don't just look the part — they make people feel something the moment they step inside. As an Interior Designer II in our Orlando office, you'll help create those moments, translating story and character into materials, finishes, and spatial details that guests can touch, see, and remember.

This is a place to build that craft on real, immersive projects, surrounded by people who care as much about the work as you do.

Cuningham's purpose is to design a better world with deep respect for the real one — a purpose that shapes our vision of a world made better by selfless design, and shows up in what we value: staying curious, delighting in the craft, designing responsibly, growing together, and caring for each other.

In this role, you'll engage in developing design through all project phases while supporting the technical solutions required by both project design and local code — taking ownership of small to medium portions of project scope and moving them forward independently, with minimal supervision from a project leader.

Direct experience in themed entertainment, attraction design, or immersive environments is required.

What you will do

• Develop design solutions across all project phases through an iterative, collaborative process — sketching, 2D/3D modeling, and computational methods — in alignment with project success metrics, and applying regenerative approaches to the built, social, and natural environments.
• Develop and document projects through both creative design and technical detailing, including interior massing studies and space planning/programming.
• Explore interior materials and document regenerative material options, building awareness of building codes as they apply to interior materials.
• Coordinate furniture selections and specifications; engage with manufacturer's representatives and support library maintenance.
• Research project types and industry trends to inform design direction.
• Plan, develop, and participate in design presentations.
• Coordinate BIM models and documentation internally and with consultants, contractors, and other disciplines for the best design outcomes.
• Participate in construction administration activities alongside the Project Architect and on-site staff, including on-site observations and verifications.
• Own quality of work within your assigned focus area of the project.
• Proficiently use MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite, Bluebeam, and Revit/BIM 360; build working familiarity with Rhino, Enscape, and Lumion.

What we look for

• 4–8 years of professional experience in interior design
• Professional degree in Interior Design or Interior Architecture
• Experience across multiple phases of design, from concept through construction documentation
• Themed entertainment, attractions, or experiential design experience strongly preferred. Experience across other markets is welcomed.
• Working knowledge of Revit/BIM 360, MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and Bluebeam
• Exposure to Rhino, Enscape, or Lumion is a plus
• Familiarity with FF&E selection, specification, and manufacturer coordination
• Understanding of, or willingness to develop expertise in, interior materials and applicable building codes
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to coordinate across disciplines and consultants
