At Simonds, our Electrical & Lighting Design Consultants play a key role in the client journey, helping transform a house into something deeply personal. From electrical layouts and lighting design to fixtures, fittings and final touches, you’ll guide important decisions that bring a home to life.

This is where vision becomes reality, where your expertise helps clients make considered electrical and lighting decisions that shape how their home looks, feels, and functions.

And now, we’re growing.

We’re seeking a full-time Electrical & Lighting Design Consultant to join us as we launch our brand-new, state-of-the-art Gallery at Collins Square, one of Melbourne’s most premium and connected locations.

A WORKPLACE LIKE NO OTHER

You’ll be based in our newly launched Collins Square Gallery, a purpose-built environment designed to inspire both our clients and our team.
Think:

• A premium, light-filled Gallery space built for creativity and collaboration across three levels
• Immediate access to Melbourne’s best cafés, restaurants, and retail
• Seamless public transport connectivity, with trams, trains, and Southern Cross Station nearby
• A vibrant, professional precinct surrounded by leading brands and businesses

This isn’t just where you work, it’s where design conversations come alive.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are seeking a full-time Electrical & Lighting Design Consultant to join our passionate, high-performing team.
Working primarily from our Collins Square Gallery (with occasional time at our St Kilda Road Gallery), you’ll guide clients through one of the most exciting stages of their journey, bringing their home to life through confident, considered electrical and lighting design decisions.
As part of our expanding team, you’ll play a key role in shaping the future of our design experience, working alongside passionate professionals in a fast-evolving, high-impact space.

KDRB (Knockdown Rebuild) experience is highly regarded and important for this role, as you will be supporting clients with more complex and customised electrical and lighting requirements.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:

Lead engaging, high-impact client consultations in a premium Gallery environment

• Prepare thoroughly to deliver seamless, professional appointment experiences
• Provide expert guidance on electrical layouts, lighting design, fixtures, fittings, and upgrades
• Confidently support clients through their electrical and lighting selections
• Accurately document selections, variations, and specifications within required timeframes
• Collaborate closely with sales and internal teams to ensure a smooth client journey
• Stay ahead of design trends, lighting innovations, and electrical solutions to inspire and inform clients

WHO YOU ARE

You’re confident, commercially aware, and thrive in a fast-paced, client-facing environment. Most importantly, you bring a strong passion for electrical and lighting design, with experience in residential construction or similar environments.

You’ll also bring:

• Experience in lighting design, electrical planning, or similar residential construction environments
• KDRB (Knockdown Rebuild) experience is highly regarded
• Strong ability to read and interpret floor plans and electrical/lighting plans with accuracy and confidence
• Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple clients and deadlines
• Outstanding communication skills and a natural ability to build trust and rapport
• A proactive, team-focused mindset with a drive to achieve targets and deliver excellence
• A qualification in Interior Design or a related field would be beneficial, but is not essential.

This is a role for someone who wants to stand out, take ownership, and be part of something genuinely exciting.

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT

This is more than a design role, it’s a chance to:

• Work in a premium, purpose-built Gallery environment at Collins Square
• Be part of a growing team with a single, highly impactful opportunity available
• Develop your expertise in complex residential electrical and lighting design
• Partner closely with clients during one of the most exciting stages of their journey
• Help shape the next chapter of Simonds’ design experience
