Structural Designer - Timber & Wood Framing
3D Structural Modeling | Revit / Cadwork | Fabrication & Construction
About the Role
DC Structures is looking for a Structural Designer to join our design and fabrication team.
This is not simply a drafting position.
Our Structural Designers virtually build our structures in 3D before they are fabricated and constructed in the field.
Working from architectural plans, structural engineering requirements, and project specifications, you will develop detailed 3D models of the complete structural framing system using Revit and/or Cadwork.
You will model and detail the structural components that make up our buildings-including wall framing, floor systems, roof systems, beams, posts, heavy timber, connections, openings, and other structural elements. Your work becomes the bridge between architecture, engineering, fabrication, and construction.
What You'll Do
Structural Modeling & Design
Develop detailed 3D structural models using Revit and/or Cadwork
Model complete wood-framed and heavy timber building systems
Develop framing layouts for walls, floors, roofs, beams, posts, and timber systems
Translate architectural drawings and structural engineering requirements into coordinated, buildable structural models
Determine how structural components come together and identify potential conflicts before they reach the field
Incorporate engineering requirements, details, connections, and revisions into the structural model
Coordinate architectural, structural, and fabrication requirements within the model
Review your work for accuracy, constructability, efficiency, and completeness
Construction Documents & Shop Drawings
Turn the structural model into the information our fabrication and construction teams need to build the project.
You will:
Produce detailed structural drawings
Develop framing plans and details
Create shop and fabrication drawings
Produce cut sheets and component drawings
Create detailed material and component takeoffs
Develop drawings for engineering and client review
Incorporate engineering and project revisions into final construction documents
Help create accurate information for prefabrication and field installation
Fabrication & Prefabrication
DC Structures prefabricates significant portions of our structural building packages before they arrive at the jobsite.
Our Structural Designers play a critical role in making that possible.
You will work closely with our fabrication and operations teams to ensure that what is modeled on the computer can be accurately fabricated, packaged, delivered, and assembled in the field.
This means thinking beyond what something looks like on a drawing and understanding:
Collaborate throughout the design and prefabrication process with:
Architects
Structural engineers
Project managers
Fabrication teams
Construction teams
General contractors
Clients
Vendors and suppliers
You will help identify and resolve design conflicts, constructability challenges, and missing information before they become problems during fabrication or construction.
The Type of Projects You'll Work On
DC Structures specializes in highly customized wood-framed and heavy timber buildings throughout the United States.
Projects include:
Luxury custom homes
Heavy timber residences
Barn homes
Equestrian facilities
Wedding and event venues
Wineries and tasting rooms
Commercial buildings
Mixed-use structures
Large custom timber structures
Many of our projects combine conventional wood framing with heavy timber, engineered wood products, complex roof systems, large spans, custom connections, and prefabricated components.
Every project is different.
What We're Looking For:
Experienced Structural / BIM Designer
You may already have experience with:
Revit
Cadwork
Tekla
AutoCAD
BIM modeling
Structural drafting
Wood framing design
Timber framing
Shop drawings
Fabrication modeling
Qualifications:
Strongly Preferred
Wood framing or heavy timber construction knowledge
Ability to read architectural and structural construction documents
Understanding of building sequencing and constructability
Experience with 3D modeling, CAD, BIM, drafting, or detailing
Experience with Revit and/or Cadwork
Experience producing construction documents, framing plans, or shop drawings
Additional Skills
Strong computer aptitude
Bluebeam proficiency
Microsoft Office proficiency
Strong mathematical and spatial reasoning
Ability to visualize complex structures in three dimensions
Excellent organization and attention to detail
Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
We're looking for someone who is:
Detail-oriented
Curious
Technically minded
Construction-minded
A strong problem solver
Self-motivated
Accountable
Comfortable asking questions
Able to communicate with both designers and builders
Interested in continuously improving systems and processes
From Design to Fabrication to Construction
Our Structural Designers are involved in a critical part of the DC Structures process:
Architecture → Structural Engineering → 3D Structural Modeling → Fabrication → Delivery → Construction
You will see the structures you model become real buildings.
That's what makes this position different from a traditional drafting role.
You're not simply documenting a building.
You're helping figure out how we're going to build it.
