Join Our Team.
Create work that people remember.
Studio Vertigo and Full Blown are sister companies sharing one creative team.
From our Gateshead workshop, Studio Vertigo and Full Blown create internationally touring public artworks, immersive light installations, inflated stainless-steel sculpture and bespoke commissions for cultural, architectural and luxury settings.
We are growing our team and recruiting for two experienced, hands-on roles.
These are opportunities for people who want to do more than one narrow part of a project. Depending on your role, you will help develop, prototype, fabricate, test, pack and install work that travels from our workshop into public spaces and client settings throughout the UK and around the world.

Why work with us?
Help create ambitious work—and see it through from idea to installation.
Studio Vertigo and Full Blown create internationally exhibited public artworks, immersive light installations, sculpture and bespoke commissions for cultural, architectural and luxury clients.
The opportunity is not simply to work on unusual projects. It is to become closely involved in how they are developed, solved, made and brought into the world.
You will not be confined to one isolated stage of the process. Depending on your role, you could contribute to design development, technical problem-solving, prototyping, fabrication, testing, packing and installation. You will see your contribution leave the drawing board or workshop and become part of finished work experienced by audiences and clients around the world.
You will join a small, supportive and collaborative team, working directly with the founders and the people making the work. There are no layers of management separating ideas from practical decisions. Good ideas and sound practical judgement are taken seriously, wherever they come from, and everyone contributes to solving problems and achieving the quality each project demands.
What both roles offer
A competitive salary, dependent on experience.
Exceptionally varied work across public art, light installations, sculpture, architecture, luxury retail and bespoke commissions.
Meaningful involvement throughout the life of a project, rather than responsibility for only one isolated stage.
The opportunity to influence how projects are designed, fabricated, assembled, transported and installed.
A genuinely flexible approach to working hours and time off, coordinated around project and team needs.
Overtime paid or taken back as time off in lieu, by agreement.
Required travel and installation time treated as working time.
Eligibility for a discretionary annual profit-related bonus after 12 months’ service.
Opportunities to travel throughout the UK and occasionally overseas.
