About the role

We are seeking an experienced 3D Environment Artist to design and develop high-fidelity Virtual Reality (VR) training scenarios. These immersive environments will support firefighter training by simulating real-world hazards, enhancing situational awareness, and strengthening operational decision-making.

Working on-site with subject matter experts, trainers, and developers, you will play a key role in shaping lifelike, interactive VR experiences that replicate emergency response conditions. This role combines artistic creativity with technical expertise to deliver visually compelling and performance-optimised environments.

Key responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and optimise immersive 3D environments in Unreal Engine or Unity for VR training scenarios.
  • Translate real-world firefighting and emergency response settings into high-quality, interactive virtual environments.
  • Apply strong artistic principles of composition, lighting, and storytelling to create realistic and engaging scenes.
  • Build and refine assets, materials, and textures to achieve visual impact and technical efficiency.
  • Capture and integrate real-world elements using photogrammetry techniques.
  • Collaborate closely with developers to ensure seamless integration of environments into the VR pipeline.
  • Troubleshoot technical challenges and propose improvements to asset workflows.
  • Apply Blueprint scripting (Unreal) or equivalent methods to support environment interactions.
  • Incorporate feedback from trainers and subject matter experts through iterative development cycles.
  • Ensure environments align with training objectives and can be adapted for evolving operational needs.

Highly desirable criteria

  • Previous experience in simulation, VR training, or emergency response industries.
  • Knowledge of optimisation techniques for VR and real-time rendering.
  • Familiarity with advanced shaders, materials, and lighting workflows.
  • Experience working with government or training-focused organisations.

Desirable criteria

  • Exposure to Unity3D and WebGL projects.
  • Understanding of real-time rendering constraints in large-scale environments.
  • Experience integrating photogrammetry assets into complex environments.

Skills and experience

  • A strong portfolio demonstrating environment design and realistic 3D scenes.
  • Professional experience creating environments in Unreal Engine.
  • Proficiency in 3D modelling, texturing, and environment creation tools such as Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, or Substance Painter.
  • Strong understanding of Unreal Engine's environment creation pipelines and tools.
  • Competency in Blueprint scripting or equivalent workflows.
  • Exceptional artistic ability with a strong eye for lighting, composition, and storytelling.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to adapt to operational and training requirements.
