Interior Designer (Events & Exhibitions)

About Haya Events

Haya Events is a rising force in Qatar's events and conference management landscape. We specialize in delivering innovative, high-profile experiences for government entities and corporate clients, ranging from prestigious international summits and awards ceremonies to large-scale cultural festivals and public engagements. Our name, meaning "vitality" and "invitation," reflects our commitment to creating events that are not only flawlessly executed but also energetic, welcoming, and deeply aligned with Qatar's national vision.

We are looking for a creative and technically skilled Interior Designer with established connections in the local market to join our growing team. If you have a passion for transforming empty spaces into immersive environments and a portfolio that demonstrates your ability to balance aesthetics with functionality, we want to hear from you.

The Role

As our Interior Designer, you will be the creative force behind the look, feel, and flow of our events. You will translate client visions and our brand's commitment to excellence into tangible spatial experiences. From conceptual mood boards to detailed technical drawings for fabrication, you will oversee the visual journey of each project, ensuring every element—from furniture layout to lighting and material selection—aligns with the event's objectives and Haya's high standards of professionalism.

You will work closely with our Project Manager to ensure designs are not only beautiful but also practical, safe, and executable within the unique venues of Qatar. Your existing relationships with suppliers and contractors will be instrumental in bringing our visions to life efficiently and cost-effectively.

Key Responsibilities

Design Conception & Visualization:

• Select and specify all interior elements including furniture, finishes, flooring, lighting, signage, and decorative accessories.

Technical Execution & Coordination:

• Prepare detailed technical drawings, construction plans, and elevation sheets for fabrication teams and vendors.
• Collaborate with project managers to ensure designs are feasible within budget and timeline constraints.
• Liaise with contractors, carpenters, and suppliers to source materials and oversee the implementation of designs on-site.
• Conduct site visits to supervise installations, ensuring final execution matches the approved design vision and quality standards.

Supplier & Vendor Management:

• Leverage your existing network of local and regional suppliers to source high-quality materials, furniture, and decorative elements at competitive prices.
• Maintain and expand Haya's database of trusted vendors, fabricators, and contractors.
• Negotiate pricing and lead times with suppliers to ensure project profitability and timely delivery.

Brand & Market Alignment:

• Ensure all designs reflect the prestige and professionalism expected by government and corporate clients, while also incorporating the "vitality" and cultural sensitivity of the Haya brand.
