Your Opportunity
The Design Visualization Services team is actively seeking a full-time, Visualization Artist with a focus on Visual Impact Assessments (VIAs) and before-and-after visual simulations.

In this position, you will be on the front lines of the innovative work we produce in the fields of virtual, video, and photo simulation. We are seeking applicants with relevant industry qualifications and software expertise who are ready to bring their ideas to the table. If you have demonstrated the ability to create visually compelling 3D content, translate design information into visual reality, and are looking for a meaningful and creative professional experience, this may be the opportunity for you.
