About The Position

BLOX is creating the tools to convert a resistant Architecture Engineering and Construction Industry into a smart and efficient machine. BLOX is the prime manufacturer in the Design Manufacture Construct (DMC) system; we manufacture large building chunks that can be transported and assembled on site into complex buildings quickly. DMC is a building delivery system that uses design to leverage manufacturing productivity so that construction is simple. Its goal is to make buildings twice as good, twice as fast, and with twice the value of those made by anyone, anywhere – 2x2x2. For those motivated to play a part in that change, this is an exciting time at BLOX . BLOX is looking for a talented and energetic Electrical Engineer to add to our team. As an Electrical Engineer, you will work with the MEP team in a dynamic, rapid-growth work environment with a group of talented engineers, architects, designers, builders, craftsmen and manufacturers. You will be challenged to develop your skills in a new field, taking a lead role in project delivery via the DMC methodology.
