Over time, experienced cladding professionals may move into supervisory roles or specialize in advanced systems and materials, offering clear pathways for career growth.

  • Ensure design documents align with current building codes, industry standards (ASTM, AAMA, TMS, ICC), and manufacturer requirements.
Bidding & Contractor Procurement
  • Prepare bid packages and technical scopes of work.
  • Lead pre-bid meetings, respond to bidder RFIs, and assist the client in contractor selection.
  • Provide technical support during pricing evaluation and value-engineering discussions.
Construction Administration & Observation
  • Conduct construction observation visits, prepare field reports, and monitor compliance with design documents.
  • Review submittals, shop drawings, RFIs, change orders, and payment applications.
  • Support the client and contractor through project closeout, punch lists, and final quality verification.
Leadership & Mentoring
  • Serve as a technical resource for building envelope reviews, design development, and QA/QC processes.
  • Mentor junior engineers, architects, and field staff.
  • Assist in developing internal standards training materials, and best-practice procedures.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Engineering, Building Science, Construction Technology, or related discipline.
  • Minimum 5–10+ years of hands-on experience with building envelope evaluations, design, and construction oversight.
  • Strong experience with cladding systems (fiber cement, ACM, stucco/EIFS, adhered masonry veneer, rainscreens, etc.).
  • Demonstrated ability to write clear technical reports and present findings to boards, managers, and client groups
Preferred Credentials
  • IIBEC certifications (RRC, RWC, REWC, RBEC) highly preferred.
  • Professional licensure (PE, RA, or EIT/AXP in progress) is a plus.
  • Experience with FORTIFIED, façade investigations, or forensic building science is beneficial.
Additional Skills
  • Strong understanding of building codes (IRC/IBC, IEBC, NJ UCC, local amendments).
  • Familiarity with ASTM, AAMA, and TMS standards.
  • Proficiency with CAD or BIM platforms preferred.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and project-management skills.
Why Join Falcon

  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits.
