UK Experienced TEXTILE DESIGNER STYLIST & COLOURIST wanted to work in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
If you have at least 3 years design work experience, a degree in textile or surface pattern design, love textiles, colour, design, styling, creating interior textile collections, travel, adventure, sunshine, making new friends and want to work for an exciting world-renowned brand then this job could be for you!
Our client is based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the Top Furnishing Fabric Supplier in the Middle East (with a growing business throughout the rest of the World). The contract is for a minimum of 1 year but, you have at least 30 days paid holiday a year when you can go home (1 return flight a year). This contract can be extended if you like the work and they like you.
You will work in their Design Studio/Fabric Library with other designers & stylists including one British employee (everyone speaks excellent English).
Over the last 15 years we have sent many designers abroad to work, so you can talk to them about their experiences before you decide to take the job. Many of them have returned to the UK and with this experience on their CV have found excellent design jobs within the industry for example Romo, GP & J Baker, Prestigious, Next, Ashley Wilde & Harlequin.
First interviews will take place with Diane, who worked in Jeddah for 2 years and loved it. She can tell you so much more.
Some more info:
• You will be creating/styling interior textile collections/pattern books working with a vast selection of stocked fabrics in an array of colours.
• You will be working with the graphic designer to develop the graphics/ room sets to enhance the collections.
• If you have the relevant management experience you will manage the Design Team.
• If you have enough organisational experience you will manage the library ensuring the correct stock of all samples.
• A driver will be provided to drive you to and from home each day.
• A designer/stylist/colourist with 3 years plus experience could earn £3000 a month tax free (which includes £1000 a month towards accommodation - the company will help you find a great place to live)
• You will work 5 days a week Sunday–Thursday (9am–6pm with a 60 mins break). Long hours but you will soon get used to it and I can promise the work will be exceptionally creative and satisfying -the time flies!
• The company will pay for the return flight at the start and end of your 1 year contract along with Visa and Health & Travel Insurance.
Interested? If Diane has not interviewed you before, please send your CV with pics of your best work including design co-ordinates and colourways ASAP! If you have been interviewed before then let us know and send an updated CV and portfolio.
