Job description

Clark Pacific | West Sacramento, California (On-site)

Clark Pacific has been a leading manufacturer of prefabricated building systems for over 63 years. We are transforming design and construction by delivering high-quality, cost-effective buildings with less risk. With over five decades of proven experience and industry-leading products, we breathe new life into construction with a smarter, more efficient path from design to project completion.

To support our mission of advancing industrialized construction innovations and products for a safer, more sustainable, and more predictable building environment, we are seeking Experienced Engineering Professionals with strong backgrounds in structural, civil, and construction disciplines to join our team.

Role Snapshot

This role is ideal for engineering professionals who are ready to expand their scope, responsibilities, and strategic influence in the development lifecycle of complex structural systems and project outcomes while contributing to Clark Pacific’s growth while remaining deeply connected to the engineering discipline.

This role offers the opportunity to solve complex technical challenges, influence full‑lifecycle building system development, and shape the future of industrialized construction all while advancing their careers without stepping away from hands‑on engineering.

• A senior engineering role designed for professionals ready to take on broader responsibility and influence product strategy and future system development, not just project-by-project design
• A position grounded in engineering fundamentals, leveraging deep technical expertise to solve complex and challenging problems
• An opportunity to shape work around individual strengths, whether in project leadership, client collaboration, or growth initiatives
• A role that enables engineers to engage more holistically in project delivery and strategic decision-making
• Own design decisions from concept through fabrication and installation, with real visibility into how engineering directly translates to built outcomes
• A next-step career move for engineers seeking expanded scope without leaving the profession
• This role is comparable in scope to a Senior Engineer or Associate Principal role within the broader engineering field
• Join a team of deeply experienced engineers, innovators, and prefabrication experts known in the industry for technical excellence

What You Will Do

This may include:

• Shaping and influencing strategies to develop and deliver complex systems and driving toward successful project outcomes
• Acting as a coach and mentor other team members by sharing technical expertise
• Participating in client and partner collaboration and business development efforts
• Shape the future of industrialized construction - your work will influence how buildings are engineered, manufactured, and delivered
• Contribute to systems that significantly reduce embodied carbon, construction waste, and risk

What You Bring:

• 7+ years of senior-level professional with engineering experience
• A strong technical foundation with an interest in expanding your impact beyond traditional design responsibilities
• Ability to apply engineering expertise to influence project outcomes, support multidisciplinary teams, and contribute to the delivery and growth of complex structural systems
• Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Industrial Engineering or a related engineering discipline required
• PE or SE License required or the ability to obtain within 2 years.

Our Core Values:

• Determination: Meet challenges head on
• Innovation: Always look for better
• Well-Being: Seek the success, health, and happiness of all
