Owner, Brilliant Living and Brilliant Lighting
Brilliant Lighting is a leading lighting design and Lutron lighting controls dealer, working on highly prestigious projects across the UK and abroad. Lighting design combines the aesthetics of disciplines like interior design and interior architecture with substantial lighting technical knowledge and construction experience. We are the ‘glue’ connecting client aesthetic and usage requirements with designing a beautiful scheme and liaising with the site team on the ground.
We work with fabulous clients, predominantly high net worth individuals and selected commercial clients, e.g., The National Trust, Betty’s Team Rooms, and Hever Castle.
We are seeking a new full-time Lighting Designer to join the team. The role will be wide-ranging and will depend on experience, but will include:
* Working with clients and wider design teams to develop overall lighting designs and CAD plans. Initially, a lot of the design concepts will come from more senior designers in our team, but we envision the right candidate rapidly growing in confidence in this area.
* Using Dialux and/or SketchUp to mock up key areas.
* Researching and recommending suitable products for a particular project, requiring empathy with the client and their brief, and an understanding of architectural and historical styles and references.
* Resolving client and site team queries.
* Liaising with suppliers to resolve technical queries, and with onsite electrical and construction teams to ensure designs are installed correctly.
* Liaising with other relevant sub-contractors on the job, e.g., joiners, cabinet makers, kitchen and bathroom companies, to ensure designs and fittings are beautifully integrated.
* Keeping accurate records of project-related costs and helping to manage project budgets.
We expect to do a lot of in-house training, but core requirements to be considered for the post are:
* A strong aesthetic and design sense.
* Experience of Revit is not necessary but is a plus.
* Competence in 3D modelling, graphics, and other related software packages is an advantage.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
* Organizational skills, attention to detail, and being a ‘completer finisher’ are essential, but you should also know when to apply the 80:20 rule.
* A proactive approach, good memory, strong work ethic, and a desire to learn and get stuck in.
* Ability to thrive in a fast-paced small team environment - with the ambiguity that that sometimes entails.
* Willingness and ability to be on project sites when required.
* Valid UK driving licence and vehicle.
* A permanent right to live and work in the UK. This is essential; please only apply if you have it.
Most people who join the team don’t have direct prior experience of lighting design, instead coming from wider interior design, architectural, or electrical backgrounds. We provide extensive in-house training and opportunities for external training where available.
The role will be based out of our offices in Thirsk, North Yorkshire. Projects are generally in the north of England but may be in the South or abroad. Subject to business requirements, the team is also able to work from home some of the time.
We will tailor the role and remuneration to suit skills and prior experience. Suitable candidates may have recently graduated or be a few years into their design career.
Other benefits include:
* Holidays increase with long service.
* Brilliant Lighting recently transitioned to being an employee-owned business (through an Employee Ownership Trust), so our long-term employees can share in the success of the business.
Please send your portfolio and CV including qualifications and experience.
