• Present recommendations to leadership, facilitate steering committees and influence decisions across business, engineering, manufacturing and technology teams.
• Travel to manufacturing facilities, engineering offices, project sites and customer locations across Canada and the United States, as required.

• Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, Architectural Technology, Building Science or a related discipline; a relevant master’s degree is an asset.
• 10–12 years of experience in BIM, digital design, construction technology, prefabrication, DfMA or related disciplines, including advanced use of Revit and AutoCAD.
• Experience creating manufacturing-ready outputs such as shop drawings, fabrication drawings, bills of materials, material take-offs and parametric models.
• Experience with automation tools and workflows such as Dynamo, Python, Grasshopper, Revit API, Excel or JSON.
• Strong knowledge of modular construction, panelization, light-gauge steel framing and BIM-to-manufacturing processes.
• Demonstrated ability to lead digital projects, define requirements, build roadmaps and influence senior stakeholders in a matrixed environment.
• Strong analytical, communication, collaboration and problem-solving skills, including the ability to create structure in ambiguous situations.
• Valid driver’s licence and ability to travel approximately 10–15%.
