Our client is a fast-growing, well-established building materials company in Manitoba, and they’re expanding their design team to support increasing demand across residential and multi-family projects.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
* Experience in truss and roof design (residential and/or multi-family)
* Strong time-management skills with the ability to prioritize and self-direct
* Highly responsive, detail-oriented, and dependable
* Comfortable working in a fast-paced, production-driven environment
* Experience with Simpson software is used, but not required—strong design fundamentals matter most
* A team-first mindset with a desire to grow long-term within one organization
