Structural Engineer

Digital Building Components (DBC) has an exciting opportunity in our Phoenix, AZ office and are looking to fill a role for a Structural Engineer. Digital Building Components offers a unique approach to building faster projects, at a lower cost, and a higher level of quality. This is made possible through digital fabrication: Digital Building’s technology-driven process that transforms computer models and CAD/CAM drawings directly into precise-to-spec building components (BIM-to-Fabrication). 

As a design-builder of structural building systems across the US, DBC is seeking a Structural Engineer who will be part of a team that is responsible for managing the design of our projects. As our current platform is cold-formed steel framing, experience with this system is most desired, but expertise with structural steel and concrete systems is also beneficial. DBC’s Design Team creatively integrates traditional design methodologies with modern technology and factory operations, all without sacrificing architectural design. DBC strongly believes in investing in each individual and that everyone contributes to the success of the company’s mission.
