About the Opportunity

A leading, growth-oriented component manufacturer is seeking an experienced, detail-oriented Remote Truss Designer to join a highly collaborative and fast-paced team. This position offers the flexibility of 100% remote work, with a strong preference for candidates living in the Eastern or Central time zones to align with core business operations.

We are looking for a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running with minimal oversight, delivering accurate, production-ready designs while maintaining a team-first, positive attitude.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design component layouts, roof trusses, and floor trusses for high-volume single-family production builds and complex custom residential projects.
  • Generate accurate, efficient, and production-ready shop drawings.
  • Optimize designs for maximum material efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
  • Ensure exact precision regarding pitches, overhangs, bolt placements, and web alignments.
  • Collaborate effectively with internal departments, sales teams, and project stakeholders.
  • Manage a high-volume, dynamic workflow independently and meet critical project deadlines.

Qualifications & Requirements

  • Experience: Minimum of 5+ years of dedicated truss design experience.
  • Software Proficiency: Advanced, hands-on experience using MiTek Structure is strictly required. Familiarity with MiTek Management is highly preferred.
  • Project Background: Proven track record with single-family residential production builds; custom home design experience is a major plus.
  • Work Style: Must be a self-starter capable of working independently from a home office with minimal training or ramp-up time.
  • Soft Skills: Exceptional communication skills, a highly collaborative mindset, and an openness to feedback and coaching. We value a positive, solutions-oriented attitude and a non-confrontational approach to teamwork.

Technical Evaluation

  • Please note: Qualified candidates will be asked to complete a practical design test to evaluate speed, optimization efficiency, and design accuracy.
