Lighting Designer

BLACKSHEEP is seeking a full time Lighting Designer for our Bozeman, MT office. We are looking for an individual to integrate into our team and assist with projects across residential, hospitality, commercial, and institutional markets. 

At BLACKSHEEP, we simplify the complex and expand the possibilities of design for architects of the built environment. Through intelligent solutions and bold design, we work together to elevate the impact of advanced building systems.

OUR CULTURE

We value a collaborative process, with proactive, effective communication and engagement across roles and disciplines. We apply outside-the-box thinking to find the ideal technologies, methods, and creative concepts for each project. We’re here because we’re go-getters – our initiative is fueled by a passion for solving complex problems with simple solutions.

OPPORTUNITY

Our lighting design group started in 2018 as a response to a common gap between aesthetic lighting design and electrical engineering in our industry. We watched clients struggle to find someone who understood this critical balance and decided to do something about it. That same drive to constantly improve our niche is what fuels every decision - from the lighting design projects we take on, to the forward-thinking solutions we provide.

We've had the privilege of serving Architects & Owners coast to coast with this unique approach. By combining the technical mind of an engineer with the eye of an artist, we're able to provide for our clients' lighting design, engineering, and sustainability needs. In the same way that lighting design exists to support the built environment, our services exist to support - not compete with - one another.

The position would entail taking projects from start to finish, while collaborating directly with our clients and utilizing the resources of our team. Compensation and benefits packages are competitive and final details of the offer will be based on the candidate's experience and qualifications.

It is key that the individual is driven to be an integral part of our highly collaborative and forward-thinking team.
