  • Promote alignment, collaboration, and knowledge sharing to support unified design delivery
  • Assign projects, monitor progress, and ensure deadlines are met without compromising quality
  • Conduct performance reviews, identify training needs, and build professional development plans
  • Facilitate regular design team meetings to discuss priorities and share best practices

Design Oversight

  • Drive standardization of design practices, templates, and workflows across locations
  • Ensure design output balances structural integrity, cost efficiency, and constructability
  • Oversee all truss (including floors) and EWP design projects for code and spec compliance
  • Review and approve high-value designs prior to release for manufacturing
  • Ensure accurate, efficient use of design software, providing training and support as needed

Cross-Department Collaboration

  • Work with sales teams to interpret project requirements and provide accurate design estimates
  • Collaborate with operations to keep designs practical, cost-effective, and manufacturing-optimized
  • Align design output with business goals and customer expectations alongside the General Manager
  • Participate in site meetings and project discussions to support design accuracy and coordination
  • Collaborate with sales, operations, and field teams so designs reflect real-world construction conditions

Process Improvement & Innovation

  • Evaluate and recommend new design software, tools, and processes to improve efficiency and accuracy
  • Lead continuous improvement initiatives to reduce errors, speed up turnaround, and boost customer satisfaction
  • Stay current on industry trends, building code changes, and engineering advancements

Customer & Stakeholder Support

  • Provide technical expertise to customers, builders, and internal teams
  • Support resolution of design-related issues during project execution
  • Represent Timber-Tech professionally at customer meetings, trade events, and industry functions
  • Other duties as assigned

What You Bring

  • Post-secondary education in Engineering, Architectural Technology, or Design preferred
  • Minimum 7 years of experience in truss or engineered wood product design, including at least 3 years in a leadership role
  • Proficiency in design software (Mitek, AutoCAD) and strong knowledge of building codes
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects and meet tight deadlines
  • Strong leadership, mentoring, and team development skills
  • Excellent organizational, planning, and prioritization abilities
  • High attention to detail with strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
