Structural Engineer
About the role
Digital Building Components (DBC) offers a unique approach to delivering projects faster, at a lower cost, and with a higher level of quality through digital fabrication: a technology-driven process that transforms computer models and CAD/CAM drawings directly into precise-to-spec building components (BIM-to-Fabrication). As a design-builder of structural building systems across the U.S., DBC is seeking a Structural Engineer to manage the design of its projects. While DBC’s current platform is cold-formed steel framing, experience with structural steel and concrete systems is also beneficial. The DBC Design Team creatively integrates traditional design methodologies with modern technology and factory operations without sacrificing architectural design.
