Job description

Technical Designer - Solidworks/Sketchup

Technical Designer

Just outside Brighton (Onsite, 5 days a week)

Are you a detail-driven Technical Designer who loves bringing creative ideas into the real world? We’re partnering with an award-winning creative design and manufacturing studio based just outside Brighton, and they’re looking for someone who can bridge the gap between concept and build.

This is a hands-on, fast-paced environment where no two projects are the same — from high-impact retail window displays and immersive pop-ups to bespoke in-store installations and live events.

The Role

You’ll play a key role in turning creative concepts into fully realised, buildable solutions. Working closely with designers and in-house production teams, you’ll ensure ideas are not only visually exciting but technically sound and ready for manufacture.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Translating creative concepts into detailed technical drawings and production-ready designs
• Working across a wide range of materials including wood, metal, acrylic, and more
• Collaborating with workshop teams (woodworking, metalwork, props, upholstery, signage, etc.)
• Supporting projects from initial brief through to final installation
• Problem-solving and refining designs to ensure efficient and high-quality builds

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in a technical or production design role
• Strong proficiency in SolidWorks and SketchUp
• A solid understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and construction methods
• A practical mindset with a passion for how things are made
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to work in a fast-paced environment

About the Studio

You’ll be joining a highly creative and passionate team specialising in retail displays, in-store experiences, pop-ups, and events. With a fully equipped in-house workshop, they offer end-to-end design and manufacturing — from concept through to installation.

Projects range from bespoke one-offs to large-scale rollouts, working with brands across high street and luxury sectors. The team is known for its creativity, craftsmanship, and commitment to delivering exceptional quality.

Location & Working Style

• Onsite role, 5 days a week
• Based just outside Brighton — ideal for someone local to the area
