Interior Design Internship at an Eco Resort in Bangladesh

Posted by on April 3rd, 2012

Title: Interior Design Intern

Number of Open Positions: 1

Location: Jessore, Bangladesh

Duration: 8 weeks

Salary: 15,000 Tk/ month (room, board, and transportation within Bangladesh are provided; students are responsible for their own transportation to and from Bangladesh)

Job Description:
Panigram Resort will be a socially and environmentally responsible spa resort located in southern Bangladesh. We are developing a luxury boutique resort with a spa and wellness center that protects the natural and cultural heritage of Bangladesh, provides authentic and distinctive travel experiences to discerning travelers, promotes sustainable development, and improves the quality of life in the host community. The interior design intern will work with the architects and product designer to help design and build the interiors of the resort bungalows to reflect the local vernacular culture. Students may work with local artisans to design screens, textiles, and tiles and may source village items (like baskets, fish traps, pottery, etc.) to be used in the interiors.

Panigram Resort is still under construction, so the interns will be staying in apartments in Jessore City, which is about an hour’s drive from the project site. The accommodation is very basic (no air conditioning, basic furnishings and bathrooms, etc.), but it is a fun environment as all of the interns stay together.

Interns are given some basic Bangla lessons when they arrive so that they can communicate with the villagers. The Bangladeshi people are very warm and hospitable and our past interns have formed some strong bonds with the community.

For logistic reasons, we require all of the interns to arrive on June 1 and complete the full 8 week internship ending on July 30; please only apply if you are able to attend on these dates.

Qualifications:
•    Interior design or art major at an accredited design school
•    Has completed at least their sophomore year
•    Independent worker
•    Comfortable working in foreign cultures

To Apply:
Please send your resume, portfolio, and a cover letter explaining why you are interested in the internship to hr@panigram.com with the subject “Interior Design Internship” by April 30, 2012. (Applications without cover letters will not be accepted.)
