Hays are delighted to be working with one of Northern Ireland's most successful fit-out and specialist joinery contractors as they seek a Design Coordinator to join their established, in-house design team. Over the last 40 years, they have built up their reputation as one of the industry's leading fit out companies, specialising in cruise ships, hotel fit outs, stadiums and arenas, super yachts and luxury residential fit out projects both locally and internationally.
