We are seeking a dedicated POSM Designer who is passionate about design, takes full ownership of their projects, and thrives in a fast-paced, challenging environment. The ideal candidate enjoys tackling complex assignments and consistently delivers high-quality, practical design solutions that meet manufacturing and client requirements.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop creative, professional, and visually compelling concepts for POSM displays, exhibition booths, customized plaques, awards, signage, retail displays, promotional stands, and other branding or fabrication-related products.
- Independently translate basic instructions, reference images, sketches, or written specifications into complete design concepts with creativity and initiative.
- Suggest practical design alternatives and improvements while maintaining alignment with approved concepts and project requirements.
- Create realistic, high-quality 3D models and photorealistic renderings using professional 3D design software, ensuring accurate representation of real-world dimensions, proportions, scale, material thicknesses, textures, finishes, and colors.
- Demonstrate excellent proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and at least one professional 3D design and rendering software.
- Ensure all designs are technically practical, structurally feasible, and suitable for manufacturing, fabrication, installation, or assembly.
- Maintain a strong understanding of commonly used materials such as MDF, melamine, acrylic, stainless steel, aluminum, PVC, foam board, and other sheet-based or fabrication materials, including their thicknesses, fabrication limitations, and assembly methods.
- Accurately calculate combined material thicknesses and differentiate between material thickness, overall product depth, structural components, and decorative layers.
- Maintain realistic material representation in 3D renderings, avoiding exaggerated dimensions or impractical structures.
- Use physical measurement tools as needed to verify dimensions and ensure accuracy.
- Produce error-free designs with exceptional attention to detail, verifying all dimensions, proportions, material specifications, alignment, spacing, and instructions before submission.
- Ensure consistency across design concepts, revisions, and final approved versions, strictly following project guidelines.
- Incorporate internal feedback, client comments, and additional instructions professionally and efficiently, developing alternative concepts or variations when required.
- Manage multiple design assignments, revisions, and changing requirements simultaneously, submitting completed work within agreed timelines.
- Maintain organized design files, project assets, and relevant documentation.
Required Qualifications
- Proven experience in POSM design, 3D product visualization, exhibition design, retail displays, or related fields.
- Excellent proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and working knowledge of at least one professional 3D design and rendering software.
- Strong understanding of real-world dimensions, proportions, material thicknesses, scale, and manufacturing feasibility.
- Practical knowledge of materials such as acrylic, MDF, melamine, stainless steel, wood, aluminum, and other fabrication materials.
- Familiarity with fabrication and manufacturing techniques including CNC routing, laser cutting, UV printing, engraving, material layering, and product assembly.
- Ability to independently develop creative concepts and realistic, manufacturable 3D designs from basic instructions or reference images.
- Strong attention to detail ensuring accurate dimensions, proportions, material specifications, and design instructions.
- Ability to produce high-quality, realistic 3D renderings and presentation-ready visualizations.
- Comfortable managing multiple assignments, tight deadlines, design revisions, and changing project requirements.
- Strong ownership, accountability, problem-solving skills, and ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
- Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
- Professional attitude toward constructive feedback, revisions, and collaboration.
- Willingness to provide occasional support for urgent projects outside regular working hours with reasonable coordination.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in 3D product visualization and photorealistic rendering.
- Background in designing customized corporate awards, trophies, plaques, and recognition products.
- Expertise in exhibition booths, promotional displays, POSM, retail displays, and signage design.
- Familiarity with fabrication materials such as acrylic, stainless steel, wood, MDF, and melamine.
- Practical knowledge of manufacturing methods including CNC routing, laser cutting, UV printing, engraving, and product assembly.
- Ability to develop attractive designs that are realistically manufacturable rather than purely conceptual.
This role offers the opportunity to work on diverse and challenging projects within a dynamic team, requiring creativity, technical skill, and a strong commitment to quality and practicality.
