• Knowledge of carpet construction techniques and how design details translate into actual production.
• Familiarity with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or other design software.
• Understanding of production limitations, pattern repeatability, and color matching.

Key Competencies:

• Creativity and design innovation

How to Apply:

Interested candidates should submit their updated CV along with a portfolio of carpet designs created using CorelDRAW. Shortlisted candidates may be asked to complete a practical design assignment to demonstrate their software proficiency, creativity, and understanding of carpet design.

Important: Candidates must have hands-on experience with CorelDRAW. General graphic-design experience without the ability to develop carpet-specific patterns and production-ready designs may not be sufficient.
