Impacto Talent is hiring on behalf of a lighting solutions company focused on indoor and architectural LED lighting, working alongside architects, interior designers, engineers, distributors and end clients across commercial, hospitality, retail, institutional, industrial and high-end residential projects.

You'll own the photometric design, product specification and technical support on your projects — from concept and calculations through specification, submittal review, mockups and on-site commissioning. This is the senior technical reference for the sales, product and project teams: you'll define the design standards and templates the rest of the team works to, and mentor junior designers as the function grows.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own lighting design end to end: concept, calculations, specification, submittals, mockups and commissioning support
- Build photometric models and calculations in DIALux evo for interior, façade, landscape and feature lighting
- Develop luminaire specifications, layouts and schedules — lumen packages, optics and beam distribution, CCT/CRI, dimming protocol, finishes and mounting details
- Design lighting control strategies (DALI/DALI-2, DMX/RDM, 0-10V, wireless such as Casambi, tunable white and colour-changing) and coordinate with controls suppliers and integrators
- Apply IES recommended practices, illuminance and uniformity criteria, UGR limits, emergency and egress requirements, and energy codes (ASHRAE 90.1 / IECC / local equivalents)
- Support sales and specification with product selection, take-offs, value-engineering alternates, competitive cross-references and technical responses to RFPs and tenders
- Review shop drawings, submittals, photometric files (IES/LDT)



and purchase orders for technical accuracy before approval
- Take part in client, architect and engineer meetings — presenting and defending design concepts, calculations and mockups, and resolving technical objections on the spot
- Set internal design standards, calculation templates and QA checks, review the work of junior designers and external partners, and mentor the team
- Produce renderings and visual studies (DIALux evo, Relux, Enscape, Photoshop or similar) and maintain photometric libraries and technical documentation

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 5-8 years in lighting design, lighting specification or technical lighting sales support, focused on indoor and/or architectural applications — candidates with less experience and an exceptional portfolio will be considered
- A portfolio of delivered projects you personally designed or specified — we'll want to talk through the decisions behind them
- Degree in architecture, interior design, electrical or lighting engineering, or equivalent technical training and experience
- DIALux evo required; AGi32 and/or Relux an asset
- Working knowledge of lighting control systems and protocols: DALI/DALI-2, DMX, 0-10V and wireless (required)
- Familiarity with AutoCAD and/or Revit; BIM family creation an asset




- Understanding of IES recommended practices and energy code requirements for interior and architectural lighting — an asset, not a requirement
- Professional accreditation strongly preferred at this level: IES membership, LC, WELL AP, LEED AP or P.Eng.
- Professional working English required; French and/or Spanish an asset
- Proven ability to run projects independently and be the final technical word on a design
- Experience working autonomously and leading a small design team

IN YOUR FIRST YEAR, SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- You're the person the sales and project teams bring the hard applications to
- Photometric studies, specifications and submittal reviews follow one consistent standard — the one you defined
- Clients and specifiers ask for you by name on their next project
- Faster turnaround on design packages and measurably less rework on submittals

WHAT'S ON OFFER

- Real ownership: you are the senior lighting design authority, not one voice among many
- Visible architectural projects from concept through commissioning, across an international portfolio
- A small, senior team where your design input shapes the final result — not a rubber-stamp specification role
- The chance to build out the lighting design function and, over time, a team
- Support toward professional accreditation (IES, LC, WELL, LEED), versátil and hybrid arrangements, performance-based bonus, and benefits that vary by country of hire
- Monday to Friday, no weekends. Occasional travel for client meetings, mockups and site visits

Fast-growing North American manufacturer of high-performance, energy-efficient LED lighting for commercial and industrial projects, distributed through a strong partner network across the continent.
