This is a hands-on technical design role where you will help bring creative ideas into the real world. You will translate concepts, renders and 3D visuals into detailed drawings and clear build information for experiential campaigns, festivals, retail installations, pop-ups and touring activations. From selecting materials and defining fabrication methods to planning installation and transport, you will help ensure every project is practical, durable and ready for production. You will work closely with creative, production, workshop and logistics teams from the initial idea through to final delivery.

- Support CNC operations and digital manufacturing processes
