About The Position

Nucor Buildings Group is seeking a Quote (Structural) Engineer to support custom metal building projects from concept to quote. In this technical role, you will apply structural and architectural engineering principles to design safe, economical building systems that win business and solve real-world problems. You will collaborate with Estimating and Sales Teams to develop thorough, accurate designs for metal building system quotes that align with project specs and internal standards. You will also value engineer building solutions by identifying design and fabrication strategies that improve performance and reduce costs, providing a competitive edge for NBG and our Builders. This role requires managing quote schedules and deadlines, balancing priorities across multiple stakeholders to ensure on-time delivery of quote packages. You will create economical, safe designs by partnering with all NBG divisions to develop project solutions that minimize total installed cost while meeting safety and performance requirements.

You will offer technical expertise by communicating design and engineering recommendations clearly via phone, email, or in-person meetings with internal and external partners. You will evaluate project risk and scope by assessing custom or non-standard building requirements for business risk, product feasibility, and cost-effectiveness. You will support division-wide collaboration by contributing to the broader Commercial Services team by providing engineering insight and technical guidance. Occasional travel may be required as project needs dictate.
