This is an excellent opportunity with a leader in experience design!

- knowledge of live animal exhibit design for both land and aquatic life, including cost estimating, live animal husbandry requirements, containment, enrichment, staff access, visitor viewing experience, acrylic viewing window design, and replicated habitat design and fabrication
- expert level proficiency with AutoCAD, SketchUp, and the Adobe Creative Suite
- experience designing multi-level architectural scale exhibits, including laying out exhibition floorplans and writing detailed technical specifications
