Position Overview

We are seeking someone with Wall Panel Design experience to join our NuFrame Pre-fabrication team in Chilliwack.

• Prepare, review, and issue complete, accurate, and buildable MiTek drawing packages.
• Maintain high standards of quality, constructability, and compliance with BCBC and modern wood-frame assembly practices.
• Collaborate with architects, engineers, and internal project leaders to ensure alignment with technical requirements and timelines.

Project & Client Coordination

• Act as a primary point of contact during preconstruction for design-related matters.
• Coordinate updates between design, production, and field teams, ensuring seamless communication and clear document control.
• Manage RFIs, site instructions, drawing revisions, and version control.
• Support project teams through kickoff meetings, technical reviews, and active design support through to completion.

Change Management & Technical Support

• Assist with change order documentation, material quantification, and extras submitted to the Project Manager and Operations team.
• Provide ongoing technical guidance to site teams to ensure framing accuracy and adherence to design intent.

Quality, Workflow & Continuous Improvement

• Support consistent workflow in collaboration with our prefab plant, ensuring designs are optimized for panel production.
• Identify issues proactively and contribute to problem-solving and process improvement across the design-to-field workflow.

Qualifications & Experience Required

• 3–5+ years of experience in framing design, panelized systems, structural drafting, or wood construction coordination.
• Proficiency with MiTek (MiTek Canada design software).
• Strong ability to read and interpret plans for multi-family wood-frame structures.
• Experience with project coordination, including communication with multiple stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Problem-solving mindset with the ability to work independently and drive tasks forward.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, Teams) and file-management tools such as OneDrive or Smartsheet.

Preferred

• Past experience as a Panel Design Manager, Senior Designer, or leading design teams.
• Past experience as a Project Coordinator or Project Manager.
• Experience in pre-fabrication / panel plant workflows.
