About The Position

The Civil, Structural, & Architectural Mechanical Engineering Leader plays a key role in partnership with Global Capital Delivery, business units, manufacturing plants and other key business stakeholders in leading aspects for medium to large projects within Owens Corning's business units. The role serves as civil, structural and architectural lead for major capital projects typically ranging from $10MM to $150MM. This role provides technical direction for capital projects as it relates to site development and building construction, including architectural guidance when a brownfield/greenfield project, which includes office space. The individual in this role will provide a knowledge base of common and commercially available methods from the general construction industry and develop internal OC specific solutions as required. Design work is typically done by external engineering firms on smaller projects, but when new site or buildings are involved, the Owens Corning philosophy is to execute the work utilizing an EPC contract. This role is critical in leading various external resources in multiple forms of construction SME's, in order to deliver a successful project. Another key function is the ability to leading international projects by gaining an understanding of the local building norms and develop EPC packages utilizing what is normal for the region.
