About Taphandles

Taphandles is an award-winning design and manufacturing company specializing in product solutions for the beverage industry. From custom tap handles, dispense towers, and point-of-sale items to creative signage and product marketing, we bring brands to life in bold, tangible ways.

We're expanding our global footprint and hiring a talented, self-motivated Industrial Designer to join our Spain office. This is an on-site role that requires fluent English communication and a strong foundation in product design and manufacturing processes.

• Translate creative briefs and brand goals into original, dimensional product designs
• Generate quick ideation sketches, followed by polished digital renderings for client presentations
• Create detailed CAD models (surfacing and solid modeling) for manufacturing and prototyping
• Collaborate with account managers, project managers, engineering, and overseas production teams to ensure designs meet aesthetic, functional, and production requirements
• Iterate quickly based on client or team feedback while maintaining quality and clarity in your work
• Balance aesthetic creativity with real-world production requirements
• Contribute to a supportive team environment while taking full ownership of your own design pipeline

What You Bring

• A strong portfolio showcasing hand-sketching, digital rendering, 3D modeling, and manufactured products (student and personal work welcome for early-career candidates)
• Mastery of the Adobe CC suite, specifically Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
• Proficiency in Rhino (or comparable, such as Alias) for 3D surface modeling, plus KeyShot rendering experience

• Excellent time management and self-direction — able to juggle multiple projects and hit deadlines with minimal supervision
• Fluency in English (written and spoken) to support day-to-day communication with our US and UK teams and international clients
• Curiosity and humility — we'll teach you our niche, and we're looking for someone who brings initiative and confidence to the table
• Valid EU passport or permanent EU residency permit

Nice to Have

• Diverse 3D toolbox: sculpting in ZBrush, working knowledge of SolidWorks or Creo for solid modeling
• Experience with international clients or suppliers
• Exposure to the beverage or branding/packaging design industry
• Knowledge of POP/POS design or physical marketing materials
