• Review architectural plans, specifications, field dimensions, and design intent to ensure constructability.
• Collaborate with project managers, designers, production teams, installers, and shop leadership throughout project execution.
• Identify and resolve design, material, or manufacturing challenges before production begins.
• Ensure engineering packages meet quality standards, fabrication requirements, and installation needs.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to CAD designers, drafters, and junior engineering staff.
• Support quality assurance initiatives throughout engineering and manufacturing.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering standards and production workflows.

Requirements

• Extensive experience in architectural millwork engineering, drafting, or technical design, preferably in a senior-level capacity.
