About Universal Awning
Universal Awning & Shade designs, fabricates, and installs custom awnings, canopies, trellises, cabanas, patio covers, and shade structures throughout Southern California. Because we handle projects from the initial idea through fabrication and installation, our design team gets to see its work become a finished product.
What we’re looking for
We are seeking a creative and technically minded Design & Estimating Associate to support our growing project workload. This person will help turn architectural plans, customer ideas, photographs, and field measurements into clear designs and accurate estimates.

Ideal candidate
