The Mission:As a Truss Designer, your primary objective is to act as a virtual builder, transforming architectural visions into structurally sound, precision-engineered truss systems before any materials hit the job site. You are responsible for interpreting complex drawings, calculating structural loads, and producing accurate manufacturing designs and field layouts for wall, roof, and floor systems. As the bridge between architectural plans, manufacturing teams, and field installers, you ensure that our commitment to structural integrity, builder satisfaction, and seamless execution is delivered flawlessly from design software to final job site assembly.
Defining the Role:Read and interpret architectural and structural drawings to produce detailed, accurate, and structurally sound individual designs and layouts for roof, floor, and wall systems.
Apply advanced math skills and an understanding of structural load transfer to provide technical and engineering support, ensuring designs comply with building codes and industry standards.
Prepare clear, precise drawings and production files for the manufacturing team and detailed field installation layouts for on-site crews.
Identify and resolve architectural or engineering discrepancies early in the process, acting as a proactive virtual builder to prevent costly job site errors.
Maintain direct, high-level communication with internal production teams, field installers, and customers—occasionally meeting directly with clients to review plans and answer technical questions.
Stay current with evolving building codes, design software updates (such as MiTek and iStruct), and industry trends to maintain top-tier technical proficiency.
What Success Looks Like:Performance is measured by your direct impact on design accuracy, project lead times, and manufacturing/field execution:
