Junior Experience Designers

We look for people with a qualification in Experience Design, Themed Entertainment, Industrial

We also look for:

• Proficiency in design software such as Sketch-Up, Rhino, Adobe Creative Suite (or similar)

• Strong conceptual thinking

• An ability to visualise design ideas

• An enthusiasm for immersive experiences and themed environments

Experience Designers/Lead Experience Designers

You'll need a proven background in experience design, architecture, exhibition design, spatial design or themed entertainment, and a solid portfolio showcasing your ability to craft breathtaking location-based experiences, immersive theatre, cultural destinations, themed attractions and/or cinematic worlds, we want to hear from you.

Our preference is generally for people to be onsite here in Miramar, Wellington, but we're also open to remote collaborations with more expeirenced designers.

It is essential that you are proficient with:

• Adobe Suite/Adobe Creative Cloud (including Photoshop)

• Rhino

• Vectorworks

And experience with Revit, Grasshopper and Blender is a plus, too.

Just some things to note:

• We can't consider applications without a portfolio - so please include one (ideally an online portfolio, but a PDF version is also fine)

• This is an expression of interest only, we don't have a live job at this point in time. We'll reach out when there is an opportunity available.

• For live roles, please keep an eye out on our careers website, or Connect below to be alerted whenever new roles get listed.

• Depending on the project, our opportunities may be fixed-term, permanent or freelance/contract-for-services

All expressions of interest will be reviewed - we'll be in touch when we have a role that matches your skills and experience. There could be project work, or long term work.

You may not hear from us for a while, as our projects vary and the types of skills we need depend on the work we have on. We'll also be back in touch if we don't feel like the work we have in the pipline is a good match at this stage.

We look forward to hearing from you.
