Job description

We are looking for a motivated, talented, and energetic computational designer to join our team in Miami. The team focuses on exciting cruise terminal and maritime infrastructure projects across the globe, combining architecture, engineering, and urban design in a single collaborative workspace.

This is a full-time position based in Miami. We particularly welcome designers who can create beauty from functionality and rationality, with a strong focus on the user experience to deliver infrastructure that stands the test of time. We are seeking a candidate to contribute at a design level across multiple projects, ideally with at least 2 years of experience. Candidates with prior experience in infrastructure projects (particularly transport projects) will stand out. Proficiency in Rhino and Grasshopper is strongly preferred.

• Contribute design-level work across multiple concurrent projects, from concept through design development
• Produce high-quality 3D models, renderings, and visualizations using Rhino/ Grasshopper.
• Translate complex functional and infrastructural requirements into elegant, user-focused design solutions
• Prepare presentation materials, drawings, and graphics using Adobe Creative Suite for client and internal reviews
• Collaborate closely with architects, engineers, and urban designers within a single integrated workspace
• Support design coordination across disciplines, helping ensure design intent carries through technical development
• Assist with research, precedent studies, and design documentation as needed

• Excellent people skills, including communication, presentation, and report writing
• Fluency in written and spoken English
• Ability to work effectively under pressure and manage deadlines
• A collaborative mindset, with initiative and a desire to be challenged

In addition, the ideal candidate will:

• Share our passion for great infrastructure and align with our practice ethos
• Possess strong design skills, creating strong and bold architectural concepts
• Be proficient in relevant software, including Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
