This role is being offered on an in-studio basis only, successful candidates will be required to work from our studio in Nottingham city centre.

Who Should Apply?

No two Dambusters are created the same, and so we have a tight-knit crew of artists from all backgrounds and walks of life working as a part of our in-house art department.

• An understanding of UV layout and how to get the best out of your textures.
