Structural Designer – Timber & Wood Framing

Structural Designer – Timber & Wood Framing 3D Structural Modeling | Revit / Cadwork | Fabrication & Construction About the Role DC Structures is looking for a Structural Designer to join our design and fabrication team. This is not simply a drafting position. Our Structural Designers virtually build our structures in 3D before they are fabricated and constructed in the field. Working from architectural plans, structural engineering requirements, and project specifications, you will develop detailed 3D models of the complete structural framing system using Revit and/or Cadwork. You will model and detail the structural components that make up our buildings—including wall framing, floor systems, roof systems, beams, posts, heavy timber, connections, openings, and other structural elements. Your work becomes the bridge between architecture, engineering, fabrication, and construction. What You'll Do Structural Modeling & Design Develop detailed 3D structural models using Revit and/or Cadwork Model complete wood-framed and heavy timber building systems Develop framing layouts for walls, floors, roofs, beams, posts, and timber systems Translate architectural drawings and structural engineering requirements into coordinated, buildable structural models Determine how structural components come together and identify potential conflicts before they reach the field Incorporate engineering requirements, details, connections, and revisions into the structural model Coordinate architectural, structural, and fabrication requirements within the model Review your work for accuracy, constructability, efficiency, and completeness Construction Documents & Shop Drawings Turn the structural model into the information our fabrication and construction teams need to build the project. You will: Produce detailed structural drawings Develop framing plans and details Create shop and fabrication drawings Produce cut sheets and component drawings Create detailed material and component takeoffs Develop drawings for engineering and client review Incorporate engineering and project revisions into final construction documents Help create accurate information for prefabrication and field installation Fabrication & Prefabrication DC Structures prefabricates significant portions of our structural building packages before they arrive at the jobsite. Our Structural Designers play a critical role in making that possible. You will work closely with our fabrication and operations teams to ensure that what is modeled on the computer can be accurately fabricated, packaged, delivered, and assembled in the field. This means thinking beyond what something looks like on a drawing and understanding: Collaborate throughout the design and prefabrication process with: Architects Structural engineers Project managers Fabrication teams Construction teams General contractors Clients Vendors and suppliers You will help identify and resolve design conflicts,…
