POSM Designer

Job Summary: We are looking to hire a POSM Designer who genuinely enjoys designing, takes ownership of assignments, and thrives under pressure rather than avoiding challenging tasks. Job Duties: 1. Creative Design & Concept Development • 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. • Demonstrate creativity, initiative, and enthusiasm for developing innovative concepts and solving design challenges. • Suggest practical design alternatives and improvements while maintaining alignment with approved concepts and project requirements. 2. 3D Visualization & Technical Design • Develop realistic, high-quality 3D models and photorealistic renderings using professional 3D design software. • Demonstrate excellent proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and at least one professional 3D design and rendering software. • Accurately represent real-world dimensions, proportions, scale, material thicknesses, textures, finishes, and colors in all designs. • Translate approximate size instructions such as A4, A3, slightly larger than A4, or specified display dimensions into accurate and realistic 3D models. • Ensure all designs are technically practical, structurally feasible, and suitable for manufacturing, fabrication, installation, or assembly. 3. Material Knowledge & Manufacturing Feasibility • Demonstrate a strong understanding of commonly used materials, including MDF, melamine, acrylic, stainless steel, aluminum, PVC, foam board, and other sheet-based or fabrication materials. • Understand standard material thicknesses, fabrication limitations, and how different materials can be layered, combined, or assembled to achieve the required dimensions and overall depth. • Accurately calculate and represent combined material thicknesses. For example, two 18 mm melamine sheets combined together result in a total thickness of 36 mm, excluding additional layers or finishing materials. • Understand the difference between material thickness, overall product depth, structural components, and decorative layers. • Maintain realistic material representation in 3D renderings, ensuring that specified thicknesses and construction methods are accurately reflected. • Avoid exaggerated dimensions, unrealistic structures, or visually attractive concepts that cannot be practically manufactured. • Maintain access to a measuring tape or meter scale for physical reference and dimension verification whenever required. 4. Design Accuracy & Quality Assurance • Produce accurate, error-free designs with exceptional attention to detail. • Carefully verify dimensions, proportions, material specifications, thicknesses, alignment, spacing, and written design instructions before submission. • Ensure consistency across design concepts, revisions, and final approved versions. • Strictly follow approved concepts, specifications, materials, dimensions, and project guidelines. • Review designs thoroughly before submission to minimize errors, rework, and unnecessary production delays. 5. Design Revisions & Project Coordination • Incorporate internal feedback, client comments, and additional design instructions professionally and efficiently. • Carefully review written feedback and ensure all requested modifications are accurately implemented. • Develop alternative concepts, design options, or variations when required. • Manage multiple design assignments, revisions, and changing requirements simultaneously. • Submit completed designs, updated renderings, and revisions within agreed timelines. • Maintain organized design files, project assets, and relevant documentation. Requirements • Proven experience in POSM design, 3D product visualization, exhibition design, retail displays, or a related field. • 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. • Understanding of 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 the 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 genuinely urgent projects outside regular working hours, with reasonable coordination. Preferred Experience Experience in the following areas will be highly preferred: • 3D product visualization and photorealistic rendering. • Customized corporate awards, trophies, plaques, and recognition products. • Exhibition booths, promotional displays, POSM, retail displays, and signage design. • Acrylic, stainless steel, wood, MDF, melamine, and other fabrication materials. • Practical manufacturing methods, including CNC routing, laser cutting, UV printing, engraving, and product assembly. • Developing attractive designs that are realistically manufacturable rather than purely conceptual.
