Xzibit is an Australian design house for museums, galleries, and experience centres. We are storytellers. We design and deliver everything from national museums to small-town local history galleries — displays, spaces, experiences, and stories.
You'll be the primary design executor on our projects: taking creative concepts from the Creative Lead and developing them into concept drawings, 3D renders, and detailed design documentation ready for construction. A good week might mean building renders for a client presentation, resolving detailed design for fabrication, and working with project managers to keep everything on track.
This is a hands-on design role for an experienced spatial designer who loves the craft — not a step away from the drawing board. You'll report to the Head of Museums & Experience Centres and lead a small team including a Graphic Designer.
What you'll be doing:
- Translate creative concepts into concept drawings, 3D renders, and detailed design documentation
- Produce high-quality 3D visualisations, mood boards, and design presentations for client approval
- Progress designs through every stage, from first concept to construction-ready documentation
- Ensure designs meet Australian Standards, Safety in Design best practice, and accessibility requirements
- Review team output and give clear, actionable feedback to keep quality consistent
- Schedule and manage design tasks across the team, working with project managers on timelines and resourcing
- Support and develop the designers in your team through on-the-job guidance
What you'll bring:
- Must have:
- Solid experience in spatial, exhibition, or environmental design — taking projects from concept through to detailed design and construction
- Advanced skills in Sketchup 3D modelling, rendering, and design documentation software including Indesign and Adobe Suite
- Working knowledge of Australian Standards and Safety in Design principles as they apply to built environments
- The ability to run multiple projects at once and keep them on time and on budget
- Clear communication — with clients, fabricators, project managers, and within the team
- Nice to have:
- Experience designing for museums, galleries, visitor centres, or branded environments
- Experience mentoring or coordinating other designers
What we offer:
- Work that makes a difference in the real world — spaces the public visits, not decks that sit in a drawer
- A collaborative team where your ideas directly shape projects and company growth
- A team that shares knowledge generously and pitches in wherever needed
- Annual professional development for every team member
- Competitive salary, performance based bonus, plus some great perks like flexible work and cool social events
