Grant Associates is seeking a 3D artistic visualiser to join its team in Bath, UK.
Grant Associates landscape architects are a Bath and Singapore-based design studio. With over 60 employees located across both our offices, Grant Associates has a renowned reputation for contemporary landscape architecture and sustainable development.

Software skills to include an excellent command in 3DS Max, V-Ray and Forest Pack Pro. It will be necessary a proficiency level in Photoshop as the nature of our work illustrating plants, public spaces and setting up scenes will often require additional post production work beyond V-Ray.
Our workflow will generally include importing files produced by Rhino -including models generated by Grasshopper baked as mesh- and Revit, thus it is important to have the ability to solve possible problems, collaborate with the designer and find the optimum solution to achieve the visualisation in question.

- a relevant design background e.g. landscape or architectural
- capable of producing professional high quality landscape stills
- an ability to think and work independently
- setting up views to maximise the potential of the image and sell the scheme by making recommendations to composition, image character e.g. mood, time of year/day, colour, content according to project location
- a strong eye for detail and a willingness to work in an environment with shifting priorities
- a passion for design across all disciplines
- as you will be working on complex projects as part of teams based in the UK and in Singapore, an excellent command of both written and verbal English is required
- minimum five years of experience in a relevant field
Candidates must submit a portfolio with their application to be considered.
Your portfolio should demonstrate:
- examples of projects where landscape is the main component of the still
- high quality rendering outputs in 3DS Max that demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of activity/use, scale, proportion, composition, seasonality and light conditions
- not-essential but we would love to see free hand drawings and sketches of any subject that is of interest
The recruitment process comprises two phases:
- phase one of the selection process will consist on an interview of 60 minutes
- phase two of the selection process may include a rendering exercise consisting on a visualisation of one of the company’s projects. We will facilitate a model in Rhino and a sketchbook for this purpose
