What’s the job?

CertainTeed is looking for a licensed Structural Engineer (PE) to join our Offsite Solutions business. In this role, you will help design and analyze prefabricated buildings and systems, as well as develop and launch new products and processes to improve the sustainability, performance, and appeal of residential and occasionally non-residential buildings.

The position is based in Saint-Gobain Research North America in Northborough, Massachusetts. Some travel, including international, would be required to job sites, partners, factories, and to other Saint-Gobain and CertainTeed locations.

Responsibilities

Design, evaluate, and improve upon residential building structural systems. Leading the design and building of both small- and large-scale prototypes of new building products, systems, and processes to show to both internal and external customers for feedback to iterate on solutions. Knowing that innovation is an iterative process, you will need to stay open-minded about what the right product is, seeking to learn as much from what does not work as from what does. Proposing innovative technologies for the building industry. Developing and documenting product designs, construction details, and installation processes. Reviewing and preparing calculations, drawing sets, 3D BIM (Building Information Modeling) models, and shop drawings to support the needs of a growing Offsite Solutions business. Interfacing with consulting engineers, builders, developers, architects, and manufacturing partners for the design and production of panelized walls, roofs, and floors. Supporting product management in identifying new opportunities and developing solutions to meet customer needs. Documenting work through preparing and reviewing reports, presentations, and patent filings. Mentoring both technical and non-technical members on building practices and code requirements.
