Industrial/Environmental Designer, Airports

Clear Channel Outdoor • Allentown, PA

6d • Onsite

About The Position

The Industrial/Environmental Designer leads design of advertising programs developed by Clear Channel Airports for its airport partners. The role designs the complete media environment—not the advertisements themselves—including the program's overall theme, its ecosystem of physical and digital display assets, and the integration of those assets with terminal architecture. This hands-on position takes programs from research and initial concept through presentation and coordination with engineering and fabrication partners. It makes extensive use of AI-assisted design and visualization tools to help airport partners see how proposed programs could look in their terminals.

The designer creates airport display products and environments, researches each airport's architecture, region, passenger profile, and identity, and develops cohesive themes and display ecosystems. The role produces renderings, elevations, and presentations; incorporates passenger information and services alongside advertising; and coordinates design intent and production considerations with engineering, fabrication, and installation partners. The position manages projects across several airports and includes travel for airport scouting trips, site visits, and surveys.

Requirements

• Five or more years of professional experience in industrial design or a closely related spatial design discipline.
• A portfolio demonstrating strong three-dimensional design work.
• Experience using 3D modeling and rendering software such as Rhino, SolidWorks, Blender, Cinema 4D, SketchUp, KeyShot, or comparable tools to develop design concepts and visualizations.
• Ability to produce polished presentation materials and explain design decisions to non-designers, including airport officials and executives.
• Ability to draw inspiration from a building or place and create design work that belongs there.
• Ability to travel to markets across the country for airport scouting trips, site visits, and surveys; estimated travel is 30 to 40% of the time.

Nice To Haves

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and professional experience.
• Familiarity with engineering or fabrication processes.
• Experience in environmental design or architecture involving branded environments, exhibits, signage and wayfinding, retail, or themed spaces.
• Experience specifying LED and LCD displays, integrating audiovisual systems, or working with digital signage.
• Experience designing for airports, transit, or out-of-home media.
• Motion design or video skills.

Responsibilities

• Design advertising display products and airport environments, including LED display formats, architectural media features, immersive digital corridors, large-format display networks, and interactive sponsorship environments, from concept sketches through realistic developed designs.
• Research each airport's architecture, region, passenger profile, and identity to develop the program theme and display ecosystem, including the mix, placement, and design of terminal displays.
• Produce high-quality renderings, elevations, and presentation materials, using AI visualization tools, to support proposals, business development, and design reviews.
• Develop display designs that incorporate passenger information and services alongside advertising content to improve the traveler experience.
• Coordinate with engineering, fabrication, and installation partners on dimensions, materials, structural considerations, code and accessibility requirements, and design intent through production.
• Work with display and AV technology in the design process, including screen formats, viewing conditions, and digital content integration.
• Manage multiple concurrent projects and deadlines across several airports.
• Travel to markets across the country for airport scouting trips, site visits, and surveys.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
