Design great kitchens -- without chasing leads or managing construction.

• Coordinate with our internal team to ensure designs are construction-ready
• Revise designs as needed based on site conditions or scope adjustments
• Deliver clean, professional design packages on agreed timelines

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of residential kitchen or cabinet design experience
• Strong proficiency in 2020 Design or ProKitchen
• Local or regional designer able to meet clients virtually and on-site in Blakely, PA
• Reliable availability for scheduled showroom appointments
• Solid understanding of cabinetry systems and residential construction
• Professional communication and responsiveness
• Ability to work independently and manage your own time
• Experience with MasterBrand cabinetry is helpful, not required

Compensation & Flexibility

• 1099 independent contractor
• Paid per project or hourly equivalent (competitive, based on scope)
• Flexible workload -- accept projects as availability allows
• Remote-friendly design work
• Clear scopes, organized projects, and consistent collaboration

Why Partner With NEPA Builders

• No selling, no lead generation, no collections
• Organized builder processes and realistic timelines
• Respect for your design judgment and workflow
• Designs that actually get built
• Opportunity for long-term, repeat collaboration
