Job description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Sr. Designer, 3D (Spatial Planning & Rendering) based in Australia.

This role offers an opportunity to lead the spatial design of ambitious brand experiences from initial concept through physical execution. You will transform creative briefs into compelling environments, combining strong visual storytelling with practical knowledge of materials, fabrication, and installation. The position goes beyond rendering, requiring you to shape concepts, develop spatial systems, and create experiences that work in the real world. You will collaborate closely with Creative Directors, Design Directors, production specialists, and multidisciplinary designers to push ideas further. Your work will help bring campaigns to life across physical spaces and brand touchpoints while balancing creativity, technical requirements, and project constraints. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced 3D designer with strong spatial instincts, technical expertise, and a portfolio of successfully built work.

Accountabilities:

• Lead 3D and spatial design for major projects, translating creative briefs into compelling spatial narratives that can progress from concept to built reality.
• Develop spatial systems, architectural concepts, material palettes, and environmental designs that can adapt across different spaces, campaigns, and brand touchpoints.
• Create photorealistic renderings that accurately communicate lighting, materials, human scale, atmosphere, and the intended brand experience.
• Partner with Creative Directors and Design Directors to shape creative direction, challenge assumptions, and develop innovative spatial concepts.
• Translate creative concepts into production-ready solutions through technical development, documentation, fabrication, and installation.
• Apply a strong understanding of materials, fabrication methods, environmental design, and real-world performance to ensure designs can be successfully executed.
• Collaborate with 2D and Motion Designers to integrate spatial concepts into broader visual systems and create cohesive brand experiences.
• Lead complex client presentations, communicate spatial concepts clearly, and confidently explain creative and technical decisions.
• Manage complex 3D design projects from concept through fabrication while balancing creative goals, deadlines, budgets, technical requirements, and production realities.
• Explore emerging technologies, AI-enabled workflows, and new creative tools to improve efficiency and expand the possibilities of 3D design.
• Contribute strategic and creative perspectives that influence broader campaigns and help advance the use of spatial design across projects.

Requirements:

• Extensive professional experience in 3D design within an agency, experiential, architectural, environmental design, or related creative environment.
• Expert-level proficiency in Cinema 4D, SketchUp, AutoCAD, and/or Rhino, with experience using rendering plugins and modern AI-enabled workflows.
• Strong command of Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat.
• Deep understanding of spatial design, architectural concepts, materials, fabrication, environmental design, and installation requirements.
• Proven ability to take projects from early conceptual development through technical documentation, fabrication, and physical installation.
• Strong skills in photorealistic rendering, with an ability to communicate atmosphere, lighting, materials, scale, and brand storytelling.
• Strong spatial instincts, strategic thinking, conceptual depth, and exceptional attention to craft and detail.
• Excellent presentation and communication skills, with the confidence to present complex spatial concepts to clients and creative leadership.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary creative and production teams.
• Strong project management skills and the ability to balance ambitious creative ideas with timelines, technical constraints, and real-world production requirements.
• Curiosity about emerging technologies and the ability to adopt new tools and workflows that make creative work more efficient and ambitious.
• A strong portfolio or work samples demonstrating diverse 3D and spatial design experience, conceptual thinking, exceptional execution, and preferably projects that have been physically built.
• Comfortable supporting a tobacco client.

Benefits:

• Annual salary range of $68,000–$80,000 USD, depending on experience.
