Cundall’s Lighting Design Team deliver award-winning innovative design solutions which have over recent years been described as game changers in a number of sectors within the industry.
The lighting designers support all of the Cundall office projects globally, in addition to working on independent lighting design commissions. With a progressively increasing workload there is a need for additional skills within the team.
The Role You'll Play:
This is an excellent opportunity for a Graduate Lighting Designer to join the team in our **Birmingham, Manchester or London** Office.

This role will suit a creative, proactive, and highly skilled person with attention to detail to take an approved concept which includes producing photorealistic renders, through design development and documentation to achieve an exceptional outcome.

The Skills You'll Bring:

- Accredited to a BEng/MEng degree level in Lighting Design and a keen ability and understanding of interior design and architecture and possess creative flair and an enthusiasm for a career in design.

- You should also have an appreciation of the commercial factors which affect design solutions and be IT literate. Software knowledge of AGI32, DIALux, DIALux EVO, REVIT, ADOBE Suite including Photoshop and RHINO. A knowledge of digital engineering programs such as Grasshopper and ladybug is advantageous but not essential.
**What’s in it for you?**

- A one-off joining bonus of £1,500, payable during your first month of employment
