Job description

This global experience agency has spent over 27 years turning big ambitions into experiences that land. Working across experience strategy, connected creativity and production at serious scale, they’re out here building the moments where brands meet people in culture, in communities and face-to-face.

The Role

You’ll turn creative concepts into build-ready technical drawings in Vectorworks, roughly 75% detailed floor plans, 25% construction drawings derived from 3D designs. Elevations, sections, seating layouts, all accounting for venue constraints, safety regulations and client specs.

Variety is the point. In one seat you’ll draw a festival pop-up bar one week and a championship-level hospitality build the next. You’ll run 20 – 30 projects concurrently, adapting layouts as briefs and client requirements shift through delivery, and solving spatial problems on-site during live builds.

The Package

£35,000 – £50,000

Hybrid working: one day per week in the office

Remote options available as long as UK/Dublin-based

The Person

You’ve spent 3 – 5 years as a CAD Technician or Drafter in experiential, live events or theatrical work. Vectorworks is second nature, in both 2D drafting and 3D modelling, and you can work from PDF or DWG venue plans under fast-changing conditions.

You hold detail across many live projects, and you take pride in the output, but you roll with last-minute change too.
