Watch your work come to life in landmark projects around the world when you partner with Syska Hennessy Group! As a global leader in consulting, engineering, and commissioning services, we specialize in MEP, information and communication technology, architectural lighting, vertical transportation, and commissioning.
We currently have an opportunity for a Lighting Designer to join our dynamic lighting professionals in our San Diego Lighting Design Studio.
Our lighting designers are active leaders and innovators in this rapidly changing industry. For instance, the LED media mesh design that wraps the Mandeville art Gallery at the University of California San Diego blurs the lines between dynamic media art and lighting that creates excitement and attraction to the gallery space. By contrast, our award-winning designs for the new Lyle & Grace Prescott Memorial Prayer Chapel at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego took cues from the architecture, which promotes serenity and yet connotes the power of prayer. A lighting approach that used hidden sources to support the impression that the chapel itself is the source of light.

From our supportive culture, diverse workforce, and competitive compensation to our flexible work schedules and fun social events, it is everything you will need for an exciting, challenging, and rewarding career.
