Sponsorship is not available

Our client designs and manufactures custom architectural canopies, awnings, and structural building systems for commercial projects. After years of partnering with outside engineering firms, they're looking to bring more of their structural engineering work in-house. You'll work on custom structural systems from concept through fabrication, performing structural analysis, developing practical solutions, and collaborating closely with drafting and manufacturing teams. You'll be responsible for engineering and structural design while continuing to partner with an outside licensed engineer for final review and sealed drawings. This is a manufacturing-based environment, so we're looking for someone who is genuinely interested in applying their structural expertise to custom architectural products and working closely with drafting and manufacturing teams. It's a great opportunity for someone who enjoys hands‑on engineering and wants to see their designs move from concept through fabrication. If you've enjoyed working closely with manufacturing or are ready to step away from the constant deadlines and billable hours that often come with consulting, you'll appreciate this environment. Their team values quality engineering with realistic project timelines, giving you the opportunity to solve interesting engineering challenges without feeling like every day is a fire drill. The company operates on trust and flexibility, giving employees the autonomy to do their jobs while maintaining a healthy work/life balance.
