We are looking for an experienced  Senior 3D Designer with a strong background in the  events, exhibitions and experiential industry . The role requires someone who can translate creative concepts and briefs into impactful, realistic and execution-friendly 3D environments.

The ideal candidate should have a strong command over 3D visualization, lighting, materials and high-quality rendering , along with a practical understanding of how event and exhibition structures are actually fabricated and executed on ground.

Given the fast-paced nature of the events industry, the candidate should be comfortable working on  multiple projects simultaneously, managing tight timelines and delivering quick turnarounds without compromising design quality.

• Conceptualize and develop 3D designs for events, exhibitions, brand activations and experiential spaces .
• Design stages, exhibition stalls, lounges, experience zones, product displays, installations, entrances, photo opportunities and other event environments.
• Translate creative briefs, layouts and references into compelling 3D concepts and photorealistic visualizations .
• Demonstrate excellent understanding of  lighting design, materials, textures, reflections, shadows and ambience to create realistic renders.
• Create both  day and night visualizations wherever required, particularly for large-format events and outdoor environments.
• Understand spatial planning, visitor movement, sightlines, branding visibility and overall event experience while developing designs.
• Ensure concepts are not only visually impressive but also  practical, production-friendly and executable within event timelines and budgets .
• Work closely with the Concept, Creative, Client Servicing and Production teams to translate ideas into executable designs.
• Incorporate client and internal feedback quickly and efficiently.
• Manage multiple briefs simultaneously and prioritize work according to project deadlines.
• Maintain organized project files, models, textures, references and render assets for efficient revisions and adaptations.
  

The candidate should have strong working knowledge of relevant 3D design and visualization tools, including:

• 3ds Max / SketchUp / Blender / Cinema 4D or equivalent professional 3D software
• V-Ray / Corona Renderer / Lumion / Enscape / Twinmotion or equivalent rendering engines
• Adobe Photoshop for render enhancement and post-production
• AutoCAD or equivalent software for understanding layouts and technical drawings
• Knowledge of  Adobe Illustrator will be an added advantage
• Familiarity with AI-assisted visualization and emerging design tools will be preferred

Expertise in every software listed above is not mandatory; however, the candidate must demonstrate a  strong professional 3D workflow and excellent final rendering quality .

• Minimum 8–10 years of relevant experience , preferably with significant experience in the events and exhibitions industry.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating  large-format event spaces, exhibition environments and experiential designs .
• Exceptional eye for  lighting, rendering, composition, scale, detailing and visual presentation .
• Strong understanding of materials, fabrication techniques and event production.
• Ability to visualize creatively while remaining conscious of  on-ground feasibility .
• Ability to work independently from a brief and take ownership of a project from initial visualization through final renders.
• Quick turnaround and strong time-management skills are essential.
• Comfortable working in a dynamic environment where briefs, timelines and requirements may evolve rapidly.
• Ability to handle  multiple projects and urgent revisions simultaneously .
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality work even under tight deadlines.
• Collaborative attitude with the ability to work closely with creative, servicing and production teams.
  

Someone who understands that  event design is different from architectural visualization . We are looking for a designer who understands temporary structures, event fabrication, audience experience, branding, lighting, show environments and the speed at which the experiential industry operates.

The right candidate should be able to receive a brief, understand the creative intent quickly and turn it into an  impactful, realistic and executable 3D visualization within demanding timelines.
