- Proven experience with Javelin and MiTek software for layout and engineering of floor systems.
- Strong understanding of structural design principles, including load paths, bearing points, and deflection limits.
- Solid knowledge of wood products, framing techniques, and floor system construction methods.
- Ability to read, interpret, and work from architectural, structural, and shop drawings.
- Experience with construction site coordination and field troubleshooting is an asset.
- Strong communication skills (written and verbal) for effective coordination with teams and clients.
- Advanced proficiency in Javelin, MiTek, AutoCAD, and Microsoft Office Suite.
- High attention to detail and accuracy in technical design.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
