Freelance Unreal Engine Artist/Designer - Live Performance
Contract: Freelance/Project-based
Sector: Live Entertainment/Performance/Large-scale events
Location: London/Remote + on-site work for the event
We are working with a leading creative studio looking for an exceptional Unreal Engine Artist/Designer to join the team on an upcoming large-scale live performance project.
The project involves creating ambitious visual content for a large-scale live environment, so we're looking for someone who combines serious Unreal Engine capability with an exceptional visual eye, and high quality, event-ready visuals.
Experience creating content for concerts, touring, music, broadcast performance or live entertainment would be ideal, although we're open to Unreal artists from other creative backgrounds if the quality of the work is outstanding.
The Role
Working alongside the studio's Creative Directors and wider content team, you'll help develop and deliver the visual world for the performance.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll be:
- Designing and building high-quality real-time environments and visual content in Unreal Engine
- Translating creative concepts and references into compelling 3D worlds
- Developing environments, scenes, lighting, materials, animation and cinematic sequences
- Creating content specifically with live performance and large-scale screens in mind
- Working collaboratively with Creative Directors, designers, animators and technical teams
- Iterating and developing work in response to creative direction
- Preparing and optimising Unreal projects for final output and delivery
- Potentially supporting the team on site through final delivery
What We're Looking For
Unreal Engine is the key requirement.
You'll need:
- Excellent, demonstrable Unreal Engine skills
- A portfolio or reel showing recent, exceptional-quality Unreal work
- A strong visual eye across composition, lighting, materials, movement and atmosphere
- Experience creating polished, creatively ambitious 3D environments and content
- The ability to interpret a creative brief and bring your own ideas and craft to it
- Confidence working as part of a multidisciplinary creative team
- The ability to work quickly and maintain a high standard when deadlines get tight
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Knowledge of Cinema 4D and After Effects would also be useful, particularly if you're comfortable dipping between packages as part of the wider content workflow.
The Team
Just as importantly, we're looking for someone who's friendly, collaborative and hardworking. As the project moves towards delivery there may be long days and periods working closely together on site, so you'll need to be a genuine team player, someone who communicates well, stays positive under pressure and is happy to muck in when required.
Interested?
Please apply and share your portfolio or reel, including examples of your most recent Unreal Engine work.
If you've got strong performance-specific Unreal work, we'd particularly like to see it.
