As your skills develop, you will have the opportunity to contribute to a wide variety of projects, from creating feature‑complete racing simulator models and optimising environments within game engines, to modelling buildings, landscapes and vehicles that form part of our design proposals. You will work closely with senior team members to research and develop new tools and workflows, troubleshoot technical challenges and ensure virtual environments meet the highest standards of quality and performance.
