Remote Facade Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Gridworx | Dallas, TX | On-Site | Full-Time | W-2 | $75,000 - $90,000

You're the person on the drafting team who keeps asking "why does it work this way?" You want to understand the full picture - not just produce drawings, but know how they connect to the actual building. You're organized, you communicate clearly, and you're ready for a role where your technical skills directly move a project forward.

This is that role.

Gridworx designs and delivers specialized stone cladding and facade support systems for architecturally significant commercial projects across the country. We're a small, growing team doing high-precision work - and we're building out our project engineering function with someone who wants to grow into full project ownership over time.

If you're someone who gets satisfaction from a clean drawing set, a submittal approved on the first pass, and a client who trusts you because you always have the answer, this is your role.

You're the technical and organizational engine that takes a signed contract to fabrication-ready documentation. You'll work directly with clients, architects, and GCs - and you'll be trained on the Gridworx system from the ground up.

Day to day, that looks like:

• Reviewing client drawings and specifications, finding scope gaps, design conflicts, and constructability risks before they become problems
• Managing RFIs and submittals with customers, architects, and GCs through every round of review
• Coordinating shop drawing development with our in-house drafting team and third-party structural engineers
• Preparing and reconciling quantity takeoffs to ensure counts match drawings and specs
• Serializing stone panels and producing quarry documentation packages, the exact cut and drill instructions for each individual panel
• Performing QC reviews on fabrication documentation before release to production
• Keeping clients informed, timelines on track, and the internal team aligned

About half your time is in AutoCAD, Bluebeam, and our Google Sheets tracking tools. The other half is in communication; emails, calls, and coordination that keeps the project moving.

We've thought hard about the kind of person who succeeds in this role. It's not just about credentials. It's about how you work.

• You have a drafting, CAD, or technical coordination background and you're ready to step into project ownership

• You're the person on your current team who wants to understand the 'why' behind every drawing
• You're organized enough to manage multiple projects at once without dropping details
• Client communication doesn't scare you - you'd rather own the relationship than hand it off
• You take pride in clean documentation - a first-pass submittal approval matters to you
• You learn fast, go deep, and want to grow with a specialized company that rewards that

Requirements

Required:

• 3-5 years of experience in construction, architectural drafting, facade systems, curtain wall, or a related building envelope or technical coordination role

• Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, shop drawings, and project specifications
• AutoCAD proficiency - you work in drawing sets regularly
• Bluebeam or a comparable PDF markup tool
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Organized, detail-oriented approach to managing concurrent projects

• Direct curtain wall, stone cladding, unitized or stick-built curtain wall, or facade support system experience
• Revit, Navisworks, or other BIM tools
• Design assist or pre-construction coordination background
• Stone panel serialization or quarry coordination experience

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Engineering Technology, Construction Management, Drafting, or a related field preferred
• Equivalent hands-on experience in a technical construction or project coordination role will be considered in lieu of a degree; we care more about what you've done than where you went to school

Our Dallas office is a bullpen-style workspace where the drafting team, PMs, and project engineers work side by side every day. We're a small team doing specialized work, which means your contributions are visible, your ideas get heard, and there's no layer of bureaucracy between you and the work that matters.

We're solutions-oriented and low-ego. If you see a problem, you're expected to say something and bring a proposed path forward. We don't have a culture of "that's someone else's issue." We have a culture of "let's figure it out."

A few other things worth knowing: we're dog-friendly, we're a growing company with real momentum, and we genuinely care about building a team where everyone belongs and contributes.

• You're looking for a remote or hybrid role, this is fully on-site in Dallas, Monday through Friday
• You have fewer than 3 years of construction industry experience
• RFIs and submittals are new territory for you
• You prefer to stay heads-down and hand client communication off to someone else

Benefits

• Base Salary: $75,000 - $90,000 depending on experience
• Year-end performance bonus
• Dog friendly environment
• Medical Insurance (Company-Paid for Employees): 100% paid for employee-only coverage, with the option to add family members at employee cost.
• Dental & Vision Insurance: Optional, employee-paid through payroll deductions.
• 401(k) Savings Plan: Employee-funded with flexible investment options (Traditional or Roth). No company match, but employees can save for retirement on their own terms.
• Safe Harbor Contribution: 3% annual company contribution to your 401(k), fully vested after one year of service.
• Profit Sharing: Potential additional company contribution to your 401(k) based on strong company performance, eligible after one year of service.
• Cash Balance Plan: Company-funded pension that grows 4% annually, accessible upon retirement or leaving, after one year of service.
• Year-End Bonus: Cash bonus based on company performance, awarded if the company performs well. Not guaranteed every year.
