· Optimize designs for efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and manufacturability while maintaining structural integrity.

· Evaluate and design modifications for existing structures when necessary.

· Work closely with drafting and detailing teams to ensure accurate representation of engineering intent in shop drawings and erection plans.

· Provide guidance to project managers, sales, and customer service teams on technical feasibility and design constraints.

· Support field service teams with structural clarifications and issue resolution during construction.

· Conduct design checks and peer reviews to ensure accuracy and compliance.

· Assist in developing and refining engineering standards, tools, and best practices.

· Participate in root cause analysis and corrective action processes for engineering-related errors.

· Stay up to date with advancements in metal building design, materials, and construction methods.

· Contribute to the development and implementation of automation tools, design optimizations, and process improvements.

· Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.

· Professional Engineering (PE) license or ability to obtain one within a reasonable timeframe.

· 3+ years of experience in structural engineering, preferably in pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB).

· Proficiency in structural analysis software and metal building design tools.

· Strong understanding of steel design, load paths, and connection detailing.

· Knowledge of relevant building codes and standards (IBC, ASCE 7, AISC, MBMA, AISI).

· Familiarity with metal building manufacturing processes.

· Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment.

· Effective communication and collaboration skills to interact with cross-functional teams.
