You get the chance to work on international projects and with people from different disciplines, to become a true expert in your field.

The facts:
This isn’t ‘just’ signage you are doing the thinking and planning for. These are complicated wayfinding systems for large scale cultural destinations, mixed use spaces, retail spaces, transport systems for high profile brands and businesses.

- Experience developing the thinking and planning behind complex signage systems
- Excellent skills in audits, detailed reports and recommendations
- Clear presentation skills. You enjoy talking to clients
- The chance to develop your people management skills and mentor a small number of jnrs and mids during the design process (but you’ll never be designing and you’ll always be working very closely with a Creative Director).
- Some knowledge of BIM for wayfinding
- 5+ years relevant experience in wayfinding
You’ll be:
- Able to interpret architectural and 3d drawings, read complex information and plan clear wayfinding solutions and schedules.
- Astonishingly organised and methodical in your work
- Personable, authentic and a team player who clearly loves wayfinding as a practice
- Across accessibility, legibility and industry best practice in wayfinding and signage design.
- Some ability or awareness of the following packages: Adobe Creative Suite, Revit, Autodesk, Sign Agent, and MS Office. Some training will be given too.
You will be joining an international business that is at the top of their game and greatly respected, but still incredibly down to earth and supportive as a team culture.
