Based in central London (Holborn), award-winning architectural lighting design consultancy Elektra are seeking a creative and enthusiastic individual to join our talented and experienced team. Our current portfolio includes hospitality and retail projects in 16 different countries across four continents, as well as residential, workplace and other projects.
Dealing with specific projects from conception to completion, you will learn through working alongside senior experienced lighting designers on complex projects. This is an exciting opportunity for candidates with no experience in lighting or lighting-related fields to join the team. The position may require some European and further afield travel.
Just to be completely clear; we are not product designers. We don’t design light fittings, in the same way that architects do not design bricks. We create well-lit architectural spaces using light.
You need to have: a university degree in either Lighting Design or Architecture, Interior Design, Product Design or similar. Candidates should be able to use AutoCAD, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office, and possibly Adobe InDesign as well. Previous work experience in a lighting design consultancy advantageous, but not essential. You should be creative, independent, good presentation skills, self motivated, hard working.
We are a close-knit and supportive team with an exciting working environment with a wide range of stimulating projects, personalised training and development, a competitive salary and a company pension scheme.
We are committed to equal opportunities. Applicants must be eligible to work in the UK; we will not be able to obtain a visa for you. Independent applicants only, please. No agency appointments considered.
