Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

Key Accountability

Design Conceptualization

• Develop scalable 3D models for modular and demountable structures using SketchUp, Rhino, or 3ds Max.
• Apply ergonomic, safety, and event flow considerations into design layouts.
• Create paramet components or templates for repeated use across multiple design modules.

Structural Logic & Material Knowledge

• Design with knowledge of lightweight structural systems (e.g., truss systems, tension fabric, aluminum profiles, foldable paneling).
• Specify practical load-bearing configurations for temporary installations.
• Integrate anchoring, support, and balancing mechanisms into design logic for on-ground feasibility.

Technical Design & Documentation

• Prepare detailed technical drawings, including floor plans, elevations, exploded views, and assembly instructions.
• Specify materials, construction methods, and structural supports suitable for temporary and lightweight applications.
• Coordinate with technical teams to ensure design integrity is maintained throughout production.

3D Modeling & Rendering

• Create accurate, to-scale 3D models with full textures, lighting, and real-world materials.
• Use rendering engines (V-Ray, Enscape, Lumion) to produce photo-realistic visuals that simulate physical environments, material reflections, and ambient lighting.
• Optimize models for quick rendering and performance during presentation.

Collaboration & Communication

• Collaborate with internal departments including production, project management, and procurement.
• Participate in project meetings to align deliverables, timelines, and client feedback.
• Support site inspections and on-ground setup to ensure design accuracy and quality execution.

Material & Structural Knowledge

• Apply knowledge of light and durable materials suited for temporary structures (aluminum, PVC, fabrics, wood, etc.)
• Work closely with fabricators to ensure designs are practical, safe, and buildable.

Time & Project Management

• Deliver multiple design tasks on time and on budget
• Adjust designs based on feedback from internal stakeholders and clients
• Prioritize tasks based on project timelines and critical paths

Desired Candidate Profile

Education & Certification:

• Bachelor's degree in architecture, Interior Design or a related field.
• A diploma in 3D Design, Exhibition Design, or Event Production may also be considered based on experience.
• Technical training in 3D modelling software (e.g., 3ds Max, SketchUp, ArchiCAD, Rhino) is highly preferred.

Experience:

• Minimum of 3 5 years of professional experience in 3D design for lightweight or temporary construction projects, including structures such as pavilions, stages, or modular setups

Other:

• Strong portfolio showcasing event or exhibition design, lightweight/modular structures
• Advanced skills in 3ds Max, SketchUp, AutoCAD, Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator)
• Strong understanding of structural integrity, spatial layouts, and materials used for temporary applications
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and time management skills
