Supporting projects across the Eastern U.S., with a central hub in the Northeast, this role offers the opportunity to be the go-to technical expert for contractors and project teams, helping solve real-world challenges as projects come to life.

A leading manufacturer in the structural building materials space is seeking an Application Engineer to support customers and project teams across a multi-state territory.

The Opportunity
This is not a traditional design-only engineering role.

You will provide technical guidance and support to contractors, subcontractors, and project teams before and during the build phase — helping ensure products are applied correctly, efficiently, and in compliance with project requirements.
This role involves a mix of remote technical support with occasional site interaction as needed.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Serve as a technical resource for contractors and project teams
• Provide guidance on product application, installation, and best practices
• Support customers by answering technical questions and clarifying project details
• Assist with reviewing drawings and ensuring alignment with product capabilities
• Troubleshoot project and field-related challenges
• Ensure compliance with U.S. building codes and standards
• Collaborate with internal engineering, operations, and sales teams

What We’re Looking For

• Engineering degree with experience in cold-formed steel, light gauge framing, or structural systems
• PE designation or actively working toward licensure preferred
• Experience supporting contractors, customers, or project teams
• Strong understanding of construction practices and codes
• Clear communicator with a practical, solution-oriented approach
• Comfortable working in a remote role with occasional regional travel

Why This Role

• Stable, essential segment of construction
• Strong blend of technical problem-solving and customer interaction
• High visibility across projects and teams
• Long-term growth into technical leadership or commercial roles

If you’re an engineer who enjoys working directly with customers, solving practical challenges, and being part of real-world project execution — this is a unique opportunity to step into a dynamic, high-impact role.
