• Support R&D and prototyping phases, including model making, testing and supplier coordination
• Attend site visits, installations, and builds when required, ensuring product quality and execution
• Ensure consistency in finishes, proportions, and materials across all design elements
• Maintain close communication with internal creative, project management, and workshop teams

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years’ experience in product or industrial design (event, spatial, or experience design industry preferred)
• Proficient inCAD/CAM Software , or similar 3D design software
• Strong understanding of materials, fabrication methods, and manufacturing processes
• Confident in translating conceptual briefs into precise, build-ready documents
• Excellent eye for detail, proportion, and finish
• Strong sketching, prototyping, and visual communication skills
• A collaborative mindset — you’re happy getting stuck into the creative process, bouncing ideas with others, and refining iteratively
• Bonus: experience in event rigging, set design, or exhibition design is a plus

You’ll join a collaborative studio environment where experimentation, craftsmanship, and design integrity come together to deliver exceptional, head-turning results for top-tier clients.
