Clear Channel Outdoor

Job Summary

The Industrial/Environmental Designer leads the design of the advertising programs Clear Channel Airports develops for its airport partners: not the ads themselves, but the complete media environment, including each program's overall theme, its ecosystem of physical and digital display assets, and the way those assets integrate into the terminal's architecture.

This is a hands-on design role that takes programs from research and initial concept through presentation and coordination with engineering and fabrication partners. The role makes heavy use of AI-assisted design and visualization tools to create compelling visuals that help airport partners see exactly what their program can look like in their own terminals.

Job Responsibilities

• Designs advertising display products and environments for airports, including various LED display formats, media features integrated into terminal architecture, immersive digital corridors, large-format display networks, and interactive sponsorship environments, from concept sketches through developed realistic design.
• Conducts in-depth research into each airport's architecture, region, passenger profile, and identity, and uses that research to develop the program's overall theme and asset ecosystem, including the mix, placement, and design of displays across the terminal.
• Produces high-quality renderings, elevations, and presentation materials, making heavy use of AI visualization tools, to help airport partners vividly see what their program can look like in support of proposals, business development, and design reviews.
• Develops designs for displays that incorporate passenger information and services alongside advertising content, improving the traveler experience.
• Coordinates with engineering, fabrication, and installation partners on dimensions, materials, structural considerations, code and accessibility requirements, and design intent through production.
• Works with display and AV technology as part of the design process, including screen formats, viewing conditions, and the integration of digital content.
• Manages multiple concurrent projects and deadlines across several airports, and travels to markets across the country for airport scouting trips, site visits, and surveys.
• Performs other duties as assigned.

• Familiarity with engineering or fabrication processes preferred.
