Key responsibilities

Developing designs from concept sketches through to production-ready drawings

About you

A degree in Industrial Design (or about to complete one)

Working knowledge of Illustrator, Rhino and SolidWorks

A good eye for detail and proportion, and an interest in how things are made

Comfortable working in a team and taking direction, but happy to speak up when you have a better idea

Curious about lighting, architecture and interiors

Any workshop or fabrication experience is a bonus, not a requirement

Mentoring from experienced designers in a supportive, close-knit team

Exposure to a wide range of architectural and interior projects
