The Role:   As a Truss Designer you will be responsible for creating detailed designs and plans for trusses, which are structural components used in construction to support roofs, floors, and other building elements. This role involves utilizing engineering principles, computer-aided design (CAD) software, and collaboration with architects and structural engineers to produce accurate and efficient truss designs.

The Responsibilities:

• Design Development:
  • Interpret architectural and engineering drawings to understand project requirements.
  • Develop truss designs that comply with relevant building codes, regulations, and structural engineering standards.
  • Consider factors such as load-bearing capacity, safety, and cost-effectiveness in the design process.
• CAD Modeling:
  • Utilize computer-aided design (CAD) software to create accurate 2D and 3D models of trusses.
  • Generate detailed drawings and specifications for manufacturing and construction purposes.
  • Collaborate with other design professionals to ensure seamless integration of truss designs into overall building plans.
• Material Selection:
  • Evaluate and select appropriate materials for truss construction based on structural requirements, environmental factors, and cost considerations.
  • Work with suppliers to source quality materials and stay informed about new materials and technologies in the industry.
• Structural Analysis:
  • Perform structural analysis to ensure the integrity and stability of truss designs.
  • Collaborate with structural engineers to address any design challenges or modifications required for optimal performance.
• Cost Estimation:
  • Assist in estimating the costs associated with truss fabrication and installation.
  • Optimize designs to achieve cost-effective solutions without compromising structural integrity.
• Documentation and Communication:
  • Prepare comprehensive design documentation, including drawings, specifications, and technical reports.
  • Communicate effectively with project teams, architects, engineers, and other stakeholders to convey design concepts and address inquiries.
• Quality Control:
  • Implement quality control measures to ensure that truss designs meet industry standards and project specifications.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing teams to address any issues that may arise during the fabrication process.
• Continuing Education:
  • Stay abreast of industry trends, advancements in truss design technology, and changes in building codes and regulations.
  • Pursue professional development opportunities to enhance skills and knowledge.

The Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related field.
• Proficiency in CAD software, such as AutoCAD or Revit.
• Strong understanding of structural engineering principles and building codes.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills.
• Attention to detail and accuracy in design work.
• Knowledge of construction materials and manufacturing processes.
• Relevant experience in truss design or structural engineering is preferred.
