About this work area

The role of Visual Merchandiser is an exciting and fast-paced retail design position for a practical, trained in design creative person with a passion


for home furnishings. You must have the proven ability to create, follow and implement design solutions for home furnishing products. This


position requires a design-based 2 - 4-year education program.


You will have:


A keen eye for aesthetics, composition and colour, with the ability to visualize, draw and present an idea. Experience planning three dimensional spaces using computer aided drafting (Revit is preferred) and measuring devices, to design accurate
floor plans, elevations and carpentry specifications.


The ability to present your ideas and solutions in English through written and verbal communication. A good physical ability and dexterity in walking, lifting, climbing and working on 6-10 ft ladders, using hand tools and small power tools
(power drill, hammer, screw drivers, measuring tape, level). Ability to lift or move weight up to 50lbs.

Your responsibilities

This is a team-based work environment, much of your time will be spent in collaboration with others. A typical work week is an active mix of


physically demanding hands-on implementation of display solutions and time spent in team collaboration to plan future projects using Revit and


other software. You will be part of a team planning site specific home furnishing solutions and displays. You will be asked to write copy to support


product displays.


Whole days, or multiple days can be spent physically implementing new projects involving bending, reaching, lifting, climbing stairs and working


atop ladders while using hand tools.


Wearing safety equipment (i.e. reflective vest and steel toe boots) is mandatory.

Together as a team

Where others see home furnishing products, we see smart solutions to create a better everyday life. With a great deal of passion, imagination and brainstorming we turn colours, textiles and furniture into inspiring environments that excite, engage and convince IKEA visitors that they can do it too!
