Licensed Structural Engineer & Network Program Manager

About The Luxury Pergola: The Luxury Pergola designs and manufactures high-end, fully extruded aluminum pergola systems built for luxury residential and commercial spaces. With a growing dealer and installer network across North America, we're redefining outdoor living through precision engineering, craftsmanship, and a lifetime structural warranty — all built in the U.S. We're looking for a Licensed Structural Engineer & Network Program Manager who will bridge engineering rigor with business growth. This is a dual purpose role — part engineering lead, part program strategist — supporting our dealer and certified installer ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities:

• Structural Engineering Support: Review and approve site-specific pergola designs, ensuring compliance with local codes, loads, and standards. Provide stamped structural calculations and documentation for projects in multiple jurisdictions (PE license required). Collaborate with our internal design and production teams to standardize structural analysis procedures and documentation. Maintain and update span tables, load charts, and engineering design references for 6063-T6 aluminum systems.
• Dealer Network Management: Serve as the technical and operational point of contact for dealer partners, providing structural guidance and business support. Track dealer growth metrics, installation success rates, and regional coverage opportunities. Develop reporting and analytics to assess network health, growth opportunities, and training efficacy. Collaborate with leadership to shape dealer incentive programs, expansion strategies, and performance improvement initiatives.
• Certified Installer Program: Oversee the Certified Installer Program — from training curriculum design to field implementation and certification standards. Conduct virtual and in-person training sessions on installation best practices, structural safety, and compliance. Manage certification renewals, quality audits, and continuous improvement feedback loops with installers. Ensure all installer training materials align with structural engineering best practices and brand quality standards.

Requirements:

• Professional Engineer (PE) License — must be active and in good standing in at least one U.S. state (multi-state licensure a plus).
• Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Structural, Civil, or Architectural Engineering.
• 5+ years of structural engineering experience (aluminum, light framing, or outdoor structures preferred).
• Experience with dealer or channel management, or a demonstrated ability to manage multi-partner programs.
• Excellent communication skills and comfort working across technical and business domains.
• Proficiency with structural design software (e.g., RISA, STAAD, or equivalent) and spreadsheet-based span/load analysis.
• Strong organizational and project management skills — ability to balance engineering review, partner support, and program development.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in the outdoor structures, architectural products, or building systems industries.
• Understanding of extruded aluminum structural behavior and connection design.
• Prior experience training installers, contractors, or technical sales teams.
• Familiarity with dealer management software or CRM systems (HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.).

Benefits:

What We Offer: Competitive salary and performance incentives. Opportunities for professional development and license fee reimbursement. Direct influence on a growing national brand redefining architectural outdoor living.
