Interior Design Intern

Job Description

Biotastic builds and sells premium wellness equipment — ice baths, cold plunges, saunas, red light therapy and HBOT — trusted by JW Marriott, Shangri-La, FC Goa and 200+ HNI homes. We're now designing and delivering integrated wellness spaces — biohacking lounges, longevity rooms and custom recovery suites — inside luxury projects.

We're bringing on interns to support our Design + Build team on a live project: helping the studio nail quality finishing and material selection for premium recovery spaces. You'll work directly alongside the Project Architect, getting real exposure to how a wellness space goes from drawing to delivered site — not just observing, but producing work that ships.

What You'll Work On (Shared across both tracks):

\n
• Support material and finish selection — sourcing samples, building comparison boards, checking specs against premium-brand standards
\n
• Assist in quality-finishing checks — reviewing vendor samples, cladding, joinery and surface finishes against design intent
\n
• Help maintain a material/vendor reference library (swatches, spec sheets, price benchmarks)
\n
• Support BOQ prep and vendor quote comparisons under the Project Architect's direction
\n
• Sit in on site walks and builder meetings when scheduling allows, to connect studio work to what's actually getting built
\n

Track A — Architecture Intern (design + drawing support)

\n
• Support space planning, concept layouts and GFC drawing revisions in AutoCAD/SketchUp
\n
• Help translate developer briefs and floor plans into working drawings
\n
• Assist with MEP coordination notes (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) for ice baths, saunas and recovery equipment
\n

Track B — Interior Design Intern (finishing + specification support)

\n
• Build mood boards, finish schedules and material specification sheets
\n
• Research and shortlist premium finishes, cladding, fixtures and fittings
\n
• Support styling and detailing decisions for finished spaces (fit-out level, not just structure)
\n

Skills & Experience

Mandatory

\n
• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Architecture or Interior Design
\n
• Working knowledge of at least one or two of: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Revit (we'll train the rest)
\n
• An eye for premium materials and finishes — can tell good detailing from average
\n
• Comfortable researching vendors, comparing specs, and documenting decisions clearly
\n
• Based in or able to commute to Chennai for the internship
\n

Good-to-have

\n
• SketchUp or Revit rendering experience
\n
• Prior internship in hospitality, wellness, retail or residential fit-out
\n
• Exposure to BOQ prep or vendor coordination
\n
• Interest in wellness, spa, or biohacking spaces specifically
\n

Biotastic Culture & Expectations

\n
• Speed — We move fast. If a vendor sample is needed, we chase it same-day, not "by end of week."
\n
• Systems — Every material decision gets documented — spec sheet, price, vendor contact — not left in a WhatsApp thread.
\n
• Learning — You'll be thrown into real project decisions from week one. We expect fast learning curves, not hand-holding.
\n
• Ownership — Once a task is yours (a mood board, a vendor comparison), you own it end-to-end until it's usable by the team.
\n
• Integrity — Flag a bad finish or a missed spec early. We'd rather hear "this won't work" now than find out on-site.
\n

Compensation & Duration

\n
• Duration: 3 months (Paid)
\n
• Location: Chennai studio, with occasional site visits within the city for material/finish verification
\n
• Track: Specify Architecture or Interior Design when applying (or both, if open to either)
\n
