Description
We are seeking an experienced Senior Architectural Millwork Engineer to lead the technical design and engineering of high-end custom millwork projects from concept development through fabrication and installation. This role is responsible for translating architectural plans, design concepts, and field measurements into accurate, production-ready drawings and engineering packages.
The ideal candidate brings extensive experience in architectural millwork, custom cabinetry, and luxury residential interiors, along with advanced knowledge of CAD drafting, CNC manufacturing, materials, hardware, joinery, and fabrication processes. This individual will provide technical leadership, mentor junior engineers and drafters, and drive improvements in engineering standards, production efficiency, and finished product quality.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the engineering and technical development of custom millwork projects from initial design through manufacturing and installation.
- Prepare, review, and approve detailed shop drawings, fabrication drawings, bills of materials, cut lists, and production documentation.
- Interpret architectural plans, design specifications, client requirements, and field measurements to develop accurate engineering packages.
- Engineer custom cabinetry, closets, architectural casework, wall paneling, ceilings, countertops, and specialty woodwork.
- Evaluate designs for manufacturability, material selection, hardware compatibility, joinery methods, and installation requirements.
- Collaborate with project managers, designers, estimators, CNC programmers, production personnel, and installation teams to ensure technical accuracy and project alignment.
- Identify and resolve design conflicts, dimensional discrepancies, and fabrication challenges before production begins.
- Support CNC programming, nesting optimization, and manufacturing planning to improve material utilization and production efficiency.
- Maintain accurate engineering records and ensure drawings and documentation comply with established drafting and manufacturing standards.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and drafters while promoting consistent engineering practices.
- Support quality control throughout engineering, fabrication, and field installation.
- Develop practical engineering solutions for complex custom millwork applications and challenging design requirements.
- Identify opportunities to improve engineering workflows, drawing standards, production processes, and overall manufacturing performance.
- Coordinate engineering revisions and communicate technical changes to relevant project stakeholders.
