Job description


Join Clark Nexsen, a JMT Company, and become part of a dynamic, collaborative team dedicated to delivering exceptional service to our clients-while making a meaningful impact on our communities and the world through the projects we help bring to life.
We are seeking a Lighting Designer to join our electrical team and will work under the direction of a senior engineer/designer. This individual will support lighting design for a variety of building types, including commercial, institutional, government, and mixed-use projects. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, creative, and eager to grow their technical and design skills in a collaborative team environment.
Immigration sponsorship or support (e.g. H1B, F-1 CPT/OPT/STEM OPT) is not available for this position, except for qualified candidates eligible for the TN visa classification.
General responsibilities include but are not limited to the following
  • Assist in the development of lighting design concepts under the direction of senior staff
  • Perform lighting calculations using software such as AGi32, ElumTools, or LightStanza
  • Create lighting layouts and details in Revit and/or AutoCAD
  • Support the preparation of specifications, schedules, and lighting control strategies
  • Coordinate with architects, interior designers, and engineers to integrate lighting into the overall design
  • Conduct research on lighting products and technologies
  • Assist with the preparation of presentations, renderings, and documentation

Required Experience
  • 0-5 years experience with IES standards, energy codes, and NEC
  • Knowledge of daylighting strategies, including LEED/WELL design concepts
  • Working knowledge of Revit and lighting control systems
  • Membership or interest in IES, IALD, or similar professional organizations

Working Conditions
At JMT, we prioritize a healthy work/life balance and offer a flexible hybrid working schedule. The selected candidate is expected to work in a JMT office location at least three days per week or as needed to perform assigned duties. While most of our work is desk-based, there may be times when standing, walking, bending and lifting of minimal weight are required. Our office environment is comfortable, has adequate lighting and temperature, and is free from noise, dust, and other hazards. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.
Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status or any other characteristic protected by state or federal law.
