About The Position

The Fabrication Systems Engineering team within Business Process & Technology builds and supports the applications — including PreFAB, Manufacturing, and Site Ready Scheduling — that power Victaulic's global fabrication and pre-fabrication operations. We're looking for a Fabrication Systems Delivery Architect to join our Fabrication Systems Engineering team. In this role, you'll serve as the technical bridge between business requirements, solution architecture, software development, QA, analytics, and deployment activities across the Fabrication Systems Engineering portfolio — ensuring complex projects move efficiently from concept through production while maintaining technical quality, architectural consistency, and alignment with organizational objectives. This position does not initially serve as a direct people manager. You'll provide technical leadership, project oversight, and guidance to internal developers, contractors, QA resources, and business stakeholders — with the opportunity for this role to evolve into a formal Engineering Development Manager position as the organization matures.
