Senior 3D Designer – Retail in London

THE ROLE

As a Senior 3D Designer specialising in retail store environments, you’ll be a key member of our creative team, working to bring high-impact, immersive retail spaces to life.

From ideation and concept through to detailed visualisation and hand-off, you’ll help craft store designs that combine brand storytelling, spatial strategy and production feasibility.

You will use your deep experience in 3D visualisation, particularly working in Sketch Up and V-Ray, to deliver high-quality renderings, walkthroughs and technical visuals.

You’ll collaborate with creative, production and technical teams to ensure our designs are not only visually compelling but also buildable, on-schedule and commercially viable.

Your responsibilities will extend beyond design and visualisation to include a deep understanding of materials, production processes, and their implications on the final retail environment.

Your insights will be crucial in ensuring that the designs can be feasibly and effectively implemented.

• YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
• Lead the 3D visualisation process for retail environmental designs – from design brief through to final presentation and production-ready visuals.
• Work closely with account teams and clients from day one, translating briefs into creative spatial concepts and 3D visuals.
• Develop detailed 3D models (in Sketch Up) and high-quality renders (with V-Ray), including lighting, materials, textures, store ambience, fixtures and finishes.
• Coming up with experiential ideas for in-store activations would be desirable.
• Collaborate with your colleagues in the creative, client services and production/installation partners to ensure the designs align with brand strategy, spatial planning and build constraints.
• Manage timelines, deliverables and workflow for your 3D design stream, working across multiple projects at once and keeping to the agency’s process and standards.
• Ensure your deliverables meet rigorous quality standards: visually, technically and in terms of usability for production/installation.
• Support the production team by providing accurate visuals for procurement, fabrication and installation stages (plans, elevations, sections, 3D exploded views).
• Participate in new business pitches: help develop 3D animation, visualisation and presentation assets to support proposals and win work.
• OTHER DETAILS
• Previous experience working on retail toolkits would be preferred.
• Previous experience working with Sports / Culture / Fashion brands would be preferred.

Day to day

You’ll be working in a collaborative team, reporting into our Associate Design Director, you’ll need to be comfortable working independently and owning the project, but also collaborating with the wider team on bigger projects.
