What you get to do:

PROJECT LEVEL DFMA APPLICATION:

• Apply Bildt’sDfMAstandards, guidelines, andscopeboundaries across active projects.
• Ensure designs achieve the appropriate levelof definition and maturity for estimating, procurement, and release for fabrication or production.
• Establish and apply modular, pod based, panelized, and site-built scope boundaries based on project specific constraints, opportunities, and delivery strategies.
• Support project teams in aligning design solutions with manufacturing capabilities,logisticsconsiderations, and installation sequencing.
• Ensure quality and safety requirements are designed into systems and assemblies rather than inspectedinlater stages.
• Reduce design-driven defects and rework by improving clarity, consistency, and manufacturability of designs.
• Enable improvedmarginperformance through reduced rework, waste, and late-stage design changes.

DESIGN AND MODEL REVIEW:

• Review and coordinate internal design packages, shop drawings, and fabrication models to verify compliance with
  
  DfMAstandards, project requirements, fabrication, and constructability expectations.
• Perform hands on technical reviews where required, while effectively leveraging VDC, drafting, or engineering support based on workload and project complexity.
• Review external trade and fabrication models using project requirements and available standards.
• Identifyconstructability risks, scope gaps, and design conflicts early in the process, and actively drive resolution prior to fabrication or procurement.
• Enable external model and shop drawing reviews through defined standards and checklists.

SCOPE DEFINITION AND DOCUMENTATION:

• Develop andmaintainproject-specificscopematrices and Basis of Design (BOD) documentation.
• Define and document manufactured versus site-built scope to support estimating accuracy, procurement alignment, and execution planning.
• Collaborate with project managers and estimators to ensurescopeclarity throughout bidding, buyout, and early project phases.
• Reduce cost variability by standardizing systems, assemblies, and design approaches where appropriate.

CROSS FUNCTIONAL COORDINATION:

• Work closely with Architects and Engineers to ensure a design strategy that aligns to Bildt’s industrialized construction strategy and capabilities.
• Coordinate with VDC, estimating, production, and trade partners to align design intent with manufacturing requirements.
• Balance direct technical involvement with delegation to supporting teams based on project complexity and resourcing.
• Support seamless transitions from design into fabrication and construction by ensuring documentation is complete, coordinated, and aligned with execution plans.
• Escalate decisions, deviations, or issues that impact
  
  DfMAstandards, precedent, or system level assumptions to theDfMAleadership for alignment and resolution.
• Serve as a trusted technical resource for project teams navigating
  
  DfMArelated decisions.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND SUPPORT

• Support technical mentoring and development ofDfMAengineers and project teams applying
  
  DfMAprinciples on active projects.
• Capture project feedback, lessons learned, and performance insights to inform ongoing refinement ofDfMAstandards, details, and workflows.
• Contribute to improving repeatability, quality, and efficiency across Bildt’s manufacturing efforts.
• Help advance a culture of continuous improvement by promoting standardized solutions, data driven…
