Act as a key liaison between design, engineering, and production teams

Technical Strategy & Process Improvement

Identify opportunities to improve workflows, efficiency, and documentation standards
Support technical problem-solving during design, fabrication, and installation phases
Ensure alignment with fabrication capabilities, materials, and structural requirements

Experience designing metal structures such as roof systems, overhangs, or large-scale statement pieces
Strong proficiency in creating detailed 2D drawing sets and complex 3D models
Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills

Preferred Qualifications
