Part-Time Job Opportunities with HERE

Here is looking for bright and motivated urban designers to join our team

Positions available include:

• Urban Design Visualizations Specialist (Part-Time, Temporary)

  • Location: Remote

• Urban Design Fellow (Part-Time)

  • Los Angeles, CA (Remote & in-person)

Here is an interdisciplinary design practice that improves the public realm. We are dedicated to solving complex urban challenges through creative processes and design thinking that build on the stories of a place. We believe that good design creates happier people, stronger interactions and relationships, and a healthier community. Our work ranges from the conceptual design of streets, public spaces, and parks, to strategic planning relating to growth and change, mobility, and sustainability. Many Here projects fold in aspects of tactical urbanism, creative arts-based community engagement, and visual communication. Our team of designers may include urban designers, urban planners, outreach and engagement planners, landscape architects, architects, and graphic designers.

Job Overview & Responsibilities: (Renderer)

We are seeking a part-time, temporary designer to prepare renderings and other urban design visuals. Visuals will include 3D photo-realistic renderings of urban design projects, but depending on the designer's expertise may also include other graphics, such as hand-drawn 3D and 2D sketches, diagrams, icons, and other raster and vector visuals. Visuals will mainly be used digitally rather than as print files.

The ideal candidate will have strong verbal and visual communication skills – the ability to translate dense planning topics and concepts into eye-catching and easy-to-understand graphics and stories. The candidate should also have a deep interest in urban planning topics and urban form in Los Angeles and further afield. Applicants must be communicative, flexible, and positive, with a team-oriented spirit, and have the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
