As a Truss Design Engineer at Eagle Metal, your key responsibilities include providing engineering reviews and approvals for wood truss designs, overseeing the design work of Engineering Technicians, and creating structural designs for various projects. You'll work on generating detailed layout drawings based on architectural plans and provide solutions for truss repairs while ensuring all work complies with industry codes.

To qualify for the position of Truss Design Engineer at Eagle Metal, you need a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil, Structural, Mechanical, or Architectural Engineering, along with Professional Engineering licensing in at least one state. While previous MPC wood truss design experience is preferred, candidates with relevant experience and a strong engineering foundation will also be considered.

While prior experience in truss design is advantageous for the Truss Design Engineer position at Eagle Metal, it is not strictly required. We value dependability, teamwork, and the ability to learn quickly, so individuals with a solid understanding of engineering concepts and a passion for the field are encouraged to apply.

A Truss Design Engineer at Eagle Metal should have a working knowledge of AutoCAD and the ability to quickly learn other design software relevant to the role. Being proficient in design software is essential for generating accurate designs and working plans to meet project demands.

Eagle Metal offers a comprehensive benefits package for Truss Design Engineers, including 401(k), health and dental insurance, paid time off, and vision coverage. Joining our team means being part of a thriving company that values its employees' well-being.

I ensure accuracy in my truss designs by thoroughly reviewing architectural plans, utilizing AutoCAD for precision, and double-checking calculations against industry codes to mitigate errors.

In my previous role, I collaborated with cross-functional teams, providing guidance and feedback to ensure projects met deadlines and adhered to quality standards. Effective communication was key to our success.

I stay informed about changes in building codes and industry standards by regularly attending workshops, participating in professional organizations, and subscribing to industry publications.

When troubleshooting design issues, I analyze the problem, consult with team members for input, and use simulations and tests to identify root causes, ensuring that I arrive at effective solutions.

I prioritize multiple projects by assessing deadlines and project requirements, using tools such as Gantt charts to manage timelines effectively. Communication with stakeholders allows me to keep everyone aligned.

In my previous role, I had the opportunity to mentor junior engineers by providing guidance on design processes, encouraging their growth through constructive feedback, and involving them in collaborative projects.

I simplify complex design concepts by using visuals, diagrams, and analogies that are easy to understand. I encourage questions to clarify their understanding throughout the discussion.

One of the specific design challenges I faced involved optimizing truss designs for limited space constraints. I collaborated with architects and utilized innovative designs to maximize structural integrity.

Continuous learning is vital for my career. I actively seek out online courses, attend industry seminars, and engage with peers in forums to gain insights into new technologies and methodologies.

I am impressed by Eagle Metal's commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. I believe that my skills in truss design and my values align perfectly with the company’s mission, making it an ideal place for me to contribute and grow.
