TheGlazingEngineer specializes instructuralengineering and design of glazing and façade systems for new constructionbuildings. Working alongside a team of experienced façade engineers, you will develop innovative enclosure solutions, perform structural analysis, conduct construction field reviews, and provide technicalexpertisethroughout the design and construction process.This is a highly technical consulting role that offers significant opportunities for professional growth, technical specialization, and career development within a collaborative team of industry-leading façade engineers.
Key Responsibilities- Engineer glazing systems for new construction projects, including high-rise and low-rise buildings.
- Perform structural analysis and engineering calculations for curtain wall, unitized curtain wall, window wall, point-supported glazing, and other architectural glazing systems.
- Perform finite element analysis (FEA) using software such as RISA, MAPLA, SOLIDWORKS Simulation, or similar.
- Design glazing support systems, including aluminum framing, anchors, embeds, brackets, and supporting steel.
- Prepare engineering calculations, technical reports, and supporting design documentation.
- Review delegated design packages, shop drawings, and engineering calculations for compliance with the engineering design and project requirements.
- Coordinate with architects, structural engineers, glazing contractors, manufacturers, and fabricators throughout design and construction.
- Conduct field reviews during fabrication and construction to verify glazing systems are installedin accordance withthe engineered design and prepare corresponding site review reports.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to Engineers-in-Training (EITs) and junior engineers.
