About BMT

BMT is dedicated to solving some of the most important engineering challenges of our time. Our people use their technical excellence to deliver practical, meaningful solutions that make a real difference.

We are committed to building a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable future. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to our mission, shaping our culture and supporting our purpose.  Learn more about us at www.bmt.org.

Joining BMT means joining a company that invests in you. As an Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) organisation, we’re independent and free from external shareholders — allowing us to reinvest in our people and make decisions that support long‑term success.

You’ll have access to a wide range of benefits that support your health, family life, financial wellbeing, and personal development, including:

As a 3D Artist at BMT, you will create detailed simulation-ready models of ships and ports using LiDAR, CAD, and photographic references for our in-house simulation software, Rembrandt. Working closely with naval architects, you will ensure technical accuracy and contribute to high-quality, believable simulations for diverse client projects.

You will be expected to balance precision, quality, and speed, often working to tight deadlines while maintaining consistent, reliable output. Strong communication is essential, you will actively engage with colleagues, ask questions early, and ensure clarity to avoid downstream issues.

The role is varied but primarily focused on vessels, jetties, ports, and LiDAR-generated environment cleanup. You will be trained to work with real-world LiDAR data, ensuring assets are accurately positioned and aligned within the simulator. You will also contribute to projects for a wide range of clients, from smaller organisations to large-scale programmes. This means working within varying budgets and time constraints, requiring you to make informed decisions on where to focus detail and effort to deliver the best possible result within scope.

The role is primarily remote; however, occasional visits to our Fareham office will be required, particularly during client training sessions, where you may be needed to support with quick fixes or adjustments to simulation assets. There, you will have access to our brand-new Digital Innovation and Simulation Centre in Fareham, where your work is presented on large-scale simulator displays used for client training and demonstrations.

No maritime experience is required as training is provided, though any prior knowledge or interest in maritime environments would be beneficial. A strong foundation in 3D modelling and texturing is essential. You will work in a collaborative, innovative environment with immersive simulators and mentorship, offering excellent opportunities to develop your skills in 3D art and maritime simulation.

We are increasingly using our knowledge and expertise to drive transformative designs, technology and solutions around the world that will contribute towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). BMT’s focus SDGs are Climate Action and Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure. These goals matter most to our stakeholders and are where we believe we can have the greatest impact towards a better future.

We are seeking individuals who are passionate about addressing these global challenges and are proactive in finding opportunities to integrate sustainable practices as part of their role.

To succeed as a 3D Artist at BMT, you will need experience in 3D modelling and texturing, using software such as 3DS Max, Blender, and Substance Painter. You should be confident balancing quality, accuracy, and speed, delivering work efficiently without compromising standards.

You will be proactive in communication, comfortable asking questions, seeking clarification, and sharing progress to ensure alignment with project goals. A strong intrinsic interest in 3D modelling is essential; you take pride in your work and remain engaged even when working on less visually exciting assets. A positive, motivated attitude and willingness to contribute to the team are key.

You should be comfortable making practical decisions on asset quality and level of detail based on time constraints, project requirements, and client budgets. A willingness to learn maritime subjects and proprietary simulation software is essential. Your enthusiasm and proactive mindset will help you develop your skills and deliver accurate, high-quality models for our clients.

We expect you to share our passion for creating a more environmentally and socially sustainable future for all our stakeholders

If you’re ready to use your skills to help tackle meaningful challenges and contribute to a more sustainable future, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and join a team that values innovation, inclusion, and long‑term impact.
