About the Role

Role overview

We are seeking a talented and detail-oriented Architectural Lighting Designer to join the Journey team in our Broadway Studio, with approximately 2–4 years of professional experience in a similar role. The ideal candidate is passionate about the integration of light within architecture, has a strong design sensibility, and is capable of contributing to projects from concept through construction.

We're unable to offer further details about our current projects online, but are happy to share details in interview once an NDA has been signed.

Key Responsibilities

The essential functions include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Develop creative lighting design concepts for architectural projects including commercial, stadium, landscape, hospitality, and public space
  • Produce lighting layouts, plans, sections, and details using CAD/Revit
  • Perform lighting calculations and simulations using tools such as AGi32, Dialux, or similar.
  • Collaborate with architects, interior designers, engineers, and clients to integrate lighting seamlessly into the built environment
  • Select luminaires, lighting controls, and associated systems in alignment with design intent and project budgets
  • Prepare presentations, renderings, and visualizations to communicate design ideas
  • Review shop drawings, submittals, and mockups for compliance with design intent
  • Conduct site visits and assist with aiming, focusing, and commissioning of lighting installations
  • Stay current with industry trends, technologies, codes, and sustainability practices

Candidate Qualifications & Skills

Required:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Lighting Design, Architecture, Interior Design, or related field
  • Approximately 2-4 years of direct professional experience in architectural and/or interior/theatrical lighting
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to express ideas thoroughly
  • Demonstrable skills as a project and time manager who can handle several projects with changing requirements, client requests, and tight deadlines
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, and Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator)
  • Experience with lighting analysis software (AGi32, Dialux, or similar)
  • Familiar with rendering tools (Rhino, SketchUp, or 3ds Max is a plus)
  • A clear understanding of lighting controls systems and energy codes (IECC, ASHRAE, etc.)
  • Strong visual & graphic communication skills
  • An ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment

Location: Our Broadway Studio is a hybrid design Studio. This role is based in our New York Studio with regular in-person studio hours working with the wider team. On this occasion we can only consider applications from those fully authorized to work in the U.S.

Application: Please submit a resume and portfolio demonstrating your experience along with a cover letter explaining how your experience meets the required criteria for this role. Due to the clear design experience required for this role applications without portfolios cannot be considered.

Interviews: We don't anticipate hosting more than one round of interview for this role.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
