About The Position

Project Engineer / Project Manager — Façade Systems Gridworx | Dallas, TX | On-Site | Full-Time | W-2 | $70,000 – $80,000 You Notice Things Other People Walk Past The stone façade on a building's exterior tells a story, panels serialized one by one, anchored to a rail system engineered down to the millimeter, fabricated from drawings that had to be exactly right before a single piece was cut. Most people never think about any of that. You do. Gridworx designs and delivers innovative stone cladding and façade support systems used on architecturally significant commercial projects across the country. We're a growing, specialized company, and the person who sits in this seat is the technical and organizational engine that moves a project from signed contract to fabrication-ready documentation. If you're someone who gets satisfaction from a clean drawing set, a submittal approved on the first pass, and a client who trusts you because you always have the answer, this is your role. What You'll Own This is not a support role. You're the primary technical point of contact for customers from project kickoff through fabrication release. You manage the documentation, drive the coordination, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks before production begins. Day to day, that looks like: Reviewing client drawings and specifications, finding scope gaps, design conflicts, and constructability risks before they become problems Managing RFIs and submittals with customers, architects, and GCs through every round of review Coordinating shop drawing development with our in-house drafting team and third-party structural engineers Preparing and reconciling quantity takeoffs to ensure counts match drawings and specs Serializing stone panels and producing quarry documentation packages, the exact cut and drill instructions for each individual panel Performing QC reviews on fabrication documentation before release to production Keeping clients informed, timelines on track, and the internal team aligned About half your time is in AutoCAD, Bluebeam, and our Google Sheets tracking tools. The other half is in communication; emails, calls, and coordination that keeps the project moving. Who Thrives Here We've thought hard about the kind of person who succeeds in this role. It's not just about credentials. It's about how you work. Team player first, you make the people around you better Curious about how things actually work, not just how to check the box You don't wait to be asked. If something needs attention, you handle it "That's not my job" is not in your vocabulary You can manage five projects at once and keep every one of them organized You take pride in documentation quality, a clean submittal package matters to you You're comfortable being the person a client calls when they have a hard question You learn fast and go deep, you want to understand the Gridworx system, not just execute tasks within it
