THE COMPANY

Metal Building Industries designs, provides, and installs complex pre-engineered metal building systems (PEMBs) and structural steel for the commercial construction market across the country. With a positive reputation for delivering challenging projects on budget and on schedule coupled with our turn-key delivery model, we are experiencing significant growth in our requests for proposals. We need to expand our sales team to meet the demand. If you are looking for an opportunity to grow with a company, keep reading...

THE CONTEXT

PEMBs are a highly technical product that requires a level of engineering effort to generate an accurate proposal to secure project awards in a highly competitive market. In the past, we have relied on our production engineering team to support our sales efforts. With our recent, and expected future, growth, we are now looking to bring this engineering expertise directly into the sales team.

 We are looking for an experienced metal building engineer that enjoys solving difficult design problems (we don’t build boxes, check out our project gallery on our website) using the best tools available in the industry, all in a collaborative, challenging, and team-based sales process. This role reports directly to the CEO of the company, who is also the Sales Leader, and will be a key partner in enabling the continued growth and success of our business. If you are interested in being a part of a winning team and influencing the direction of a growing business, then this is the role for you.

THE ROLE

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Metal Building Engineer to serve as THE technical resource on our sales team. In this role, you will use your knowledge of metal building system design, with tools like Metal Building Software (MBS), RISA 3D, Enercalc and others, to develop accurate estimates, preliminary designs, and cost-effective solutions for pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB), steel structures, and related systems. You will create preliminary material takeoffs (using our internally-developed automated tools) and Excel summaries as part of a broader estimating effort (Hint: this is a team role and is very collaborative). Additionally, you will support our outside sales and business development activities with the generation of building concepts, schematic designs, and general technical guidance. Success in this role is defined as owning and delivering the technical aspects of our overall sales process.

(NOTE: This is a true engineering role, not a sales role. This role will not have to carry a sales quota.)

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Prepare accurate and competitive metal building preliminary designs, and material takeoffs using industry-standard software (e.g., Metal Building Software (MBS), Tekla Structures, RISA 3D, Enercalc, CFS, Bluebeam Revu, and Excel)
• Perform preliminary structural design and layout of pre-engineered metal building systems, including complex framing, hybrid structures, and conventional steel buildings
• Ensure all estimates and designs comply with current building codes, local regulations, wind/seismic loads, and company engineering standards
• Collaborate closely with MBI outside sales executives, customers, architects, engineers, and contractors to understand project requirements, provide technical recommendations, and offer value-engineering suggestions to optimize cost, performance, and constructability
• Serve as the technical subject matter expert during customer meetings, presentations, and site visits; explain product features, structural capabilities, material options, and system benefits clearly and persuasively
• Support the full sales cycle: respond to RFQs/RFPs, conduct technical discovery, deliver product demonstrations, prepare proposals, and assist in negotiations to close deals
• Review and interpret architectural/engineering drawings, specifications, and bid documents to develop tailored solutions
• Provide post-sale technical support to facilitate handing off the project to our operations teams for execution
• Stay current on industry trends, new products, building codes, and competitive offerings; contribute competitive intelligence to the team
• Collaborate with MBI’s Director of Engineering on internal best practices to improve the design, performance and efficiency of our tools and processes related to design and engineering tasks

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, with experience in the Structural discipline
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification; SE is NOT required for this position
• 7+ years of engineering experience with 3+ years in metal building design
• Proficiency in metal building design software (MBS) required
• Familiarity with 3D tools such as Revit, Tekla, or SketchUp required
• Solid understanding of structural steel design principles, building codes (IBC, ASCE 7, AISC), load calculations, and metal building components/systems
