Truss Designer Opportunity
A long-established, family-owned building materials manufacturer is seeking a skilled Truss Designer to join its expanding component design team. This is a rare opportunity to work in a stable, growth-oriented environment where designers have autonomy, steady demand, and the ability to influence both production flow and customer relationships. The company supports residential, light commercial, and multi-family builders and is growing its design capacity to match strong regional demand. Candidates who enjoy a family-friendly pace of life and long-term career stability will find this role an excellent fit. What You'll Do Design custom roof and floor trusses using industry-standard software (MiTek 2020 and integrated platforms). Produce accurate, code-compliant layouts optimized for structural integrity and material efficiency. Manage a steady mix of residential, light commercial, and multi-family design projects. Conduct estimating, blueprint interpretation, loading calculations, and material takeoffs. Coordinate with sales, customer teams, and production to meet deadlines and ensure a smooth workflow. Engage in customer-facing communication when needed (relationship building, value-add recommendations). Help mentor junior team members and contribute to ongoing process and workflow improvements. Support long-term growth initiatives, including potential expansion into wall panel design. What You Bring 5+ years of truss design experience (residential required; commercial/multi-family a plus). Strong proficiency with MiTek software; SBCA Tech 1 certification or equivalent required. Ability to produce 23 moderate-sized jobs per day with accuracy and independence. Solid foundation in blueprint reading, structural design, estimating, and material optimization. Strong communication and customer-interaction skills; team-oriented mindset. Open to primarily in-office work (hybrid possible for proven performers). Associate's/Bachelor's in Engineering, Construction, or equivalent experience preferred. Must pass a background. Compensation & Benefits Base Salary: Experience-based; mid-range for 5+ year designers. Performance incentives: Bonuses/commission for exceeding production output or revenue targets. Benefits: Health, dental, PTO/holidays, 401(k) match, professional training. Career Path: Leadership opportunities in a department with long employee tenure. Why This Role Is Attractive Work for a financially solid, family-owned company with decades of stability. Join a team known for professionalism, collaboration, and very low turnover. Enjoy both autonomy and support
designers are trusted and valued. Get exposure to diverse project types, not just single-family. Be part of a company with a clear growth plan, strong demand, and investment in design capacity.
