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.
