Job description

Head of Engineering | Remote, United States | Full-time | Reports to the CEO

Get the freedom to be you, in a company that values individuality. We are definitely different.

Evolution Industries makes structural Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) in our own plant. We need a senior engineer to head our engineering team and own the technical side: design guides, code evaluation reports and the test data behind every published value.

You report directly to the CEO, with no committees, no sign-off chains and no layers between you and the decisions. You lead the team, set the technical standards, and decide how the work gets done and what comes first. You bring your own style to it. We hold you to quality and deadlines, not to a schedule or a mould.

Engineered wood experience is essential

This is not a general civil or structural role, and it is not a way into wood. You must already have deep, hands-on experience in structural and engineered wood products such as LVL, glulam, I-joists or CLT. You must also know the building code evaluation report process from the inside: preparing the application, working through testing and reviewer comments, and keeping a report in good standing through renewals. Be ready to show it through design values, evaluation reports or technical literature you produced. If your background is mainly steel, concrete, residential plan review or general consulting, this is not the role for you.

What you'll own

• Leading and directing our engineering team, including outside and contract engineers, and setting the standard for how we publish structural data
• Our building code evaluation reports: new applications, reviewer responses, renewals and supplements
• Design guides, span tables and technical bulletins for our full range of Engineered Wood Products
• Test data and design values: working with third-party labs and deriving the values we publish
• Technical support for distributors and designers

Required

• Active US PE license (civil or structural)
• Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field
• 7+ years of hands-on structural or engineered wood products
• Direct experience with the building code evaluation report process, from application through approval and renewal
• Design guides, span tables or technical literature you wrote that customers have used
• Authorization to work in the US without sponsorship
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally

Nice to have

• Experience at an LVL or other engineered wood manufacturer
• Experience leading or mentoring engineers
• Self-directed and comfortable making technical calls without needing sign-off
