Applicants need to have relevant design experience and must be competent in space planning, exhibition/environment design, visualisation and creation of detailed production drawings. Knowledge and abilities in 3DS Max and AutoCAD are an advantage, but relevant experience, the right attitude, personality and shared values are more important to us.

We are looking for people who have a passion for design and creativity, but also enjoy variety in their role and take interest in the bigger picture. We always aim to do the right thing by our clients and our people, and encourage individuals to use their initiative, question where necessary and share new ideas. In between creativity and design phases, there will be times for focussing on the production aspects of the job, with opportunities to work closely with production partners, travel and go on-site.
