Game Environment Artist (Expression of Interest)

Framestore’s Immersive Studio is a world-leading innovator in crafting immersive experiences that transcend the screen, catapulting you into extraordinary realms of adventure. Combining our unrivalled creative craftsmanship with our technical prowess, we're dedicated to reframing expectations for both IP owners and their guests with creative technology, location-based entertainment, and mind-blowing theme park rides.

Framestore combines talent and technology to bring life to everything we create. Driven by creativity and inspired by the future, we set out every day to reframe the possible.

Framestore is looking for a Game Environment Artist to join our Immersive team, working at the intersection of world-building, technology, and real-time storytelling. This role is ideal for an experienced environment artist with strong Unreal Engine knowledge, who enjoys building performant real-time environments as much as crafting stunning level art.

You’ll work closely with Developers, Artists, and our Production teams to bring the level of polish seen in our Film and TV work into real-time experiences. From location-based entertainment and theme parks to VR and interactive projects, you’ll help shape how environments live and breathe in-engine.

You’ll focus on level art, set dressing, texturing, and optimisation, while supporting the tools and workflows that enable artists across the division to do their best work. You’ll balance performance and artistic intent, troubleshoot complex problems, and collaborate closely with Asset Builders to integrate characters and props seamlessly into the environment.
