Architectural Product Designer

Hendrick Manufacturing • Carbondale, PA

31d • Hybrid

About The Position

As our Architectural Product Designer / Estimator, you’ll play a key role in transforming architectural intent into real-world products. This position is a Hybrid Remote position. You will read and interpret complex architectural blueprints, shop drawings, and technical specifications, perform takeoffs and prepare detailed, accurate project quotations, and estimate time and materials using established methods and Excel-based formulas. You will collaborate directly with Architects to develop designs from concept to finished product, work closely with customers to refine designs in accordance with architectural plans, and lead and coordinate projects across Production, Engineering, Sales, outside reps, and subcontractors. You will also solicit and qualify vendor and subcontractor quotes to secure competitive pricing, anticipate customer needs and proactively resolve issues, and exercise sound judgment within company policies while working independently. This role is different because you won’t just estimate — you’ll influence design. You won’t just read drawings — you’ll help bring them to life. You won’t just work at a desk — you’ll collaborate across departments and industries. Every project is different. Every solution is custom. Every day is engaging. If you enjoy technical problem-solving, precision, collaboration, and seeing a finished product that started as a drawing on your screen — this is your opportunity. You’ll be at the intersection of creativity, technical expertise, and project leadership.
