The Junior Graphic Designer (Part-Time) role offers the opportunity to sharpen your skills while contributing to some of the world's most iconic buildings and urban environments. You'll collaborate across disciplines - such as MEP, Sustainability, and Structures - on a diverse range of projects, gaining exposure to both design and business development.

Our goal is to make every deliverable as impactful as the designs themselves. We're looking for someone who thrives in interdisciplinary environments and excels at distilling complex ideas into clear, compelling visuals. The candidate identified for this role can be in either Chicago, Boston, or NY. Fully remote and hybrid options are available.

Here at Buro Happold, expect the exceptional.

From the projects you will work on to the clients we work with. From career-defining opportunities to an inclusive and diverse practice where we all contribute to a more equitable world. From our reputation to our relationships. Wherever your Buro Happold career takes you, it'll be anything but ordinary.

Your next role:

In this role you will support the Senior Graphic Designer on designing client-facing deliverables (e.g. technical reports, published documents, presentations, competition entries, proposals).

Assignments may range from designing a single image within a deliverable, to working on the deliverable as a whole. Common tasks include developing 2D/3D technical illustrations, renderings, diagrams, data visualizations, infographics, icons, branded presentations, document templates, and beyond.

You will creatively apply Buro Happold's brand guidelines to deliverables. If assignment requires, you will apply clients' brand guidelines or develop a bespoke visual identity.

The Junior Graphic Designer will carefully consider the audience for each deliverable and challenge content that may not be relevant to that audience.

Offer support in developing company-wide resources that empower engineers/consultants to create their own graphics. (e.g. image libraries) as well as support on both projects and business development efforts as needed.

Ability to work with a range of teams and communication styles using organizational and problem-solving skills
