Project Engineer / Project Manager - Façade Systems

Project Engineer / Project Manager — Façade SystemsGridworx | Dallas, TX | On-Site | Full-Time | W-2 | $70,000 – $80,000You Notice Things Other People Walk PastThe stone façade on a building's exterior tells a story, panels serialized one by one, anchored to a rail system engineered down to the millimeter, fabricated from drawings that had to be exactly right before a single piece was cut.Most people never think about any of that. You do.Gridworx designs and delivers innovative stone cladding and façade support systems used on architecturally significant commercial projects across the country. We're a growing, specialized company, and the person who sits in this seat is the technical and organizational engine that moves a project from signed contract to fabrication-ready documentation.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.What You'll OwnThis is not a support role. You're the primary technical point of contact for customers from project kickoff through fabrication release. You manage the documentation, drive the coordination, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks before production begins.Day To Day, That Looks LikeReviewing client drawings and specifications, finding scope gaps, design conflicts, and constructability risks before they become problemsManaging RFIs and submittals with customers, architects, and GCs through every round of reviewCoordinating shop drawing development with our in-house drafting team and third-party structural engineersPreparing and reconciling quantity takeoffs to ensure counts match drawings and specsSerializing stone panels and producing quarry documentation packages, the exact cut and drill instructions for each individual panelPerforming QC reviews on fabrication documentation before release to productionKeeping clients informed, timelines on track, and the internal team alignedAbout 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.Who Thrives HereWe've thought hard about the kind of person who succeeds in this role.

It's about how you work.Team player first, you make the people around you betterCurious about how things actually work, not just how to check the boxYou don't wait to be asked.
