3D Designer
Overview
Colab Design & Manufacturing | Durban | Full-Time
We design and manufacture retail displays, shopfit environments, branded point-of-sale experiences, signage, and all the cool stuff people actually notice in-store. We’re looking for a 3D Designer who loves strong visuals, clean renders, and bringing ideas to life fast. If you can turn a rough concept into a wow render and make it feel real enough to touch, keep reading.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be working on a mix of retail brand projects, creating:
- 3D concepts for retail displays, POS units, signage and in-store environments
- Punchy renders for client presentations
- Scene setups, lighting, materials, and camera angles that actually sell the idea
- Quick mockups, variations and refinements as projects evolve
- Visual storytelling — helping us show clients what the final result will look like before we build it
What we’re looking for
You don’t need to be “corporate perfect” — you need to be visually sharp, reliable, and obsessed with the details.
You should be:
- Confident in 3D modeling + rendering
- Someone who understands composition and makes things look expensive
- Comfortable working at pace (retail doesn’t wait)
- A team player who can take feedback without taking it personally
Software you must be proficient in
- Cinema 4D
- Blender
- Adobe Suite (Photoshop / Illustrator minimum)
Bonus points if you’ve worked on
- Retail / POS / shopfitting projects
- Product-style rendering
- Brand environments / visual merchandising concepts
- Mood boards + concept presentation layouts
What you’ll get at Colab
- Projects that go from concept → render → real world fast
- A team that moves quickly and thinks creatively
- A space where design matters (and doesn’t sit in a folder forever)
- Big brands, big visibility, big opportunities
