Job Description
We are looking for a highly talented, motivated Mid to Senior 3D Designer to play a key role in our growing creative studio.
We pride ourselves on our creative ability, supporting our clients in delivering distinct and engaging brand environments. The role will primarily focus on the work we do within the exhibit / event sector and offers the opportunity to work on a wide assortment of exciting projects. As such you will have a stand-out portfolio and be able to demonstrate previous spatial and exhibition design experience.
As an exhibition designer your primary role will be to deliver pitch winning creative, but you will be involved in the full design process including brainstorming, creative concepting and design development. Expertise in the normal software is a given. For us it’s all about the ideas, the raw creativity, and an unwavering ability to adapt to a brief.
You will be a good communicator, able to convey your ideas in an inspiring way and support your work with considered reasoning. You must be a strong creative thinker, have great attention to detail and possess a solid understanding of manufacturing methods and materials.
We’re a passionate bunch of creatives with an uncanny ability to self-manage. You must therefore be comfortable organising your time and be happy working autonomously where needed. We don’t hide our designers away from our clients, so you should be prepared to attend client meetings to take briefs and to sell your ideas.
Above all else you will share our passion for design and brands. As we look to the future, we need like-minded people who are self-motivated, with an ability (and desire) to bring new thinking to the table and help drive our business forward.
If you are already operating at a mid-senior level you could be just what we’re looking for. Our chosen designer will be based at our Bristol studio and will be given a fantastic opportunity to play a pivotal role within the studio.
