• Support lighting design projects: Assist in developing lighting concepts, layouts, plans, and specifications alongside senior designers.
• Collaborate closely: Join project reviews, brainstorm sessions, and site visits, contributing ideas and enthusiasm at every stage.
• Communicate with clients and design teams: Support the delivery of projects by engaging professionally with clients, architects, interior designers, our own installation teams and contractors.
• Produce drawings, models & visuals: Work with AutoCAD, SketchUp, DIALux, and Adobe Creative Suite to create lighting layouts, 3D models, and presentation visuals.
• Keep learning: Stay up to date with new lighting products, technologies, and design software, and help research solutions for ongoing projects.

Who You Are

• A graduate in lighting design, interior design, architecture, product design, or a related creative discipline.
• A friendly, approachable person who enjoys working as part of a small, supportive team.
