Lighting Engineer

A Lighting Engineer designs and implements lighting systems for various settings, including buildings, public spaces, and events. You might work on projects that require creating efficient, sustainable, and visually appealing lighting solutions. Lighting Engineers focus on achieving the desired illumination levels while considering factors like energy consumption, safety, and aesthetics. You’ll prepare lighting plans, select appropriate fixtures, and ensure compliance with regulations.

Lighting Engineers play a vital role in enhancing the functionality and atmosphere of spaces. You’ll need to be creative, detail-oriented, and have strong problem-solving skills.
