Job Description

We're Hiring: Lighting Designer @ The Lightists

Remote | Full-Time

Who We Are

The Lightists is a design-led lighting consultancy working from concept to commissioning. We work as an integrated partner to architects and interior designers - treating light as a design material, not a product transaction.

The Role

We are looking for a Lighting Design Executive - someone who comes from an architectural or interior design background and has developed a serious understanding of lighting as a design discipline.

This is not a product sales role. Not a civil or electrical engineering role. Not a general design role.

If you are an architect or interior designer who has crossed over into lighting - or a lighting designer with formal spatial design training - we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

Develop lighting concepts and narratives aligned with architectural and spatial intent
Prepare concept visuals, mood boards, and lighting strategies
Run lighting calculations and produce technical layouts using DIALux and AutoCAD
Read and interpret architectural drawings and design briefs
Collaborate with architects, interior designers, and our project team
Support projects from concept through to specification stage

What You Must Have

A degree in Architecture or Interior Design
Hands-on understanding of how light interacts with space, materials, and human experience
Proficiency in DIALux for lighting calculations
Proficiency in AutoCAD for technical drawing
Proficiency in Photoshop and/or AI design tools (Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, etc.)
A portfolio demonstrating design thinking - spatial projects, lighting studies, or concept work

What Will Set You Apart

Prior experience in a lighting consultancy, architectural practice, or design studio
Knowledge of Relux or AGi32 as additional calculation tools
Familiarity with Revit
Understanding of European lighting brands and decorative specification

Please Do Not Apply If:

Your background is purely electrical, civil, or mechanical engineering

You are a product/graphic/UI designer without spatial design experience

You do not have a portfolio demonstrating design-led thinking

What We Offer

Remote flexibility, creative freedom, exposure to premium European lighting brands, and meaningful projects alongside some of India's finest architects and designers.
