Engineering Manager

Are you an Engineering Manager who thinks like a builder first? We are partnering with a rapidly growing modular construction company that designs, engineers, and builds steel-frame modular buildings and custom structures across the United States. Founded in 2018, this privately owned company has grown aggressively over the past several years and is experiencing approximately 3x year-over-year growth . This is not a "sit behind a desk and design in theory" type of engineering role. The team is looking for someone who understands how projects actually get built in the real world - someone comfortable working closely with fabrication, operations, production, and clients to solve real construction challenges in fast-paced environments. If you've spent time in modular construction, manufacturing, steel fabrication, design-build, or highly practical engineering environments, this could be a great fit. What You'll Be Doing Lead and manage a growing design/engineering team (typically 4-10 people, including remote team members) Oversee project priorities and coordinate timelines based on client deadlines Work closely with clients to understand project vision, timelines, expectations, and technical requirements Support production/fabrication teams when design or construction issues arise Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, fabrication, operations, and field teams Solve practical construction and fabrication challenges during project execution Ensure designs are realistic, buildable, and production-friendly Support Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA) initiatives Help drive communication and accountability across office, shop, and field operations What They're Looking For 5+ years of engineering/design experience Background in modular construction, manufacturing, steel fabrication, or design-build environments Structural or MEP background strongly preferred P.E. Certification strongly preferred Strong leadership, coordination, and delegation skills Ability to create and interpret technical drawings Hands-on mindset with practical problem-solving ability Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, evolving environment Strong communication skills across field teams, production staff, designers, and clients Software / Technical Requirements AutoCAD Revit and/or SketchUp Ability to create and modify technical drawings Full-time salaried leadership role Benefits package included Occasional after-hours coordination as needed Long-term growth opportunity with a rapidly expanding company Company Culture This is a highly collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where speed, execution, and practical problem-solving matter. The company values people who are adaptable, accountable, hands-on, and willing to jump in to help solve problems as the business continues scaling. If you enjoy working with smaller, fast-growing teams where your ideas and leadership directly impact operations, this could be a very exciting opportunity. #J-18808-Ljbffr
