Designer in Timber Construction 80–100 %

About the job

lignumetal engineering AG develops component and system solutions for modern timber and hybrid construction. We combine timber, steel and concrete where each material can play to its strengths optimally.

Our goal is not theoretical concepts, but standardisable, economical and feasible solutions that can be applied and scaled in concrete construction projects.

To realise our vision, we are looking for a technically strong and development-oriented personality who not only designs system solutions but also thinks along, develops and brings them to economically viable maturity.

Your mission

As a designer in timber construction, you form the important interface between engineering, development, production and the construction site.

You implement structural and system concepts constructively, develop details and connections, and transfer our solutions into precise 3D models, workshop and production documents.

You do not only think project-related: together with our engineering team, you develop repeatable and standardisable components and systems from good individual solutions.

Your tasks

• Design and detailing of components and systems for timber and timber-steel hybrid construction
• Creation and editing of 3D models in cadwork
• Implementation of structural concepts according to static specifications into constructive solutions
• Development and detailing of connections and joints between timber, steel and concrete
• Creation of workshop, element, production and assembly plans
• Preparation of parts lists and other production documents
• Constructive optimisation regarding material use, production, prefabrication, transport and assembly
• Collaboration in the development of new component and system solutions
• Development and maintenance of standardised details and construction principles
• Support in the further development of our digital planning and design processes
• Technical coordination with timber engineers, structural planners, architects and specialist planners
• Collaboration with production, steel construction, assembly, sales and external project partners
• Accompanying projects from design to production and assembly
• Feedback of experiences from production and construction site into the further development of our systems

Your profile

We are looking for a personality who enjoys designing, thinks spatially and develops solutions down to the last detail.

• Basic training as carpenter, draughtsperson, joiner or in a comparable technical profession
• Further training as a technician HF in timber technology, timber construction foreman, timber construction supervisor, bachelor in timber technology or comparable qualification
• Experience in design and execution planning in timber construction
• Very good knowledge of cadwork
• Good spatial and constructive imagination
• Understanding of timber constructions and connection technology
• Interest in the combination of timber, steel and concrete
• Understanding of production and assembly processes
• High standards of accuracy and quality
• Independent, structured and solution-oriented working style
• Enjoyment of digital planning methods and 3D design
• Interest in standardisation, prefabrication and industrial construction processes
• Enjoyment of innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration

What to expect from us

At lignumetal engineering, you do not just work through existing plans. You can actively influence how our future components and systems are designed.

• A versatile role between design, engineering and development
• Great professional scope for creativity
• Direct influence on our component and system development
• Exciting projects in timber and hybrid construction
• Modern digital planning and design tools
• Direct collaboration with timber engineers and structural planners
• Close connection to production and assembly
• Interdisciplinary collaboration between timber and steel construction
• Short decision-making paths
• Attractive professional and personal development opportunities
• The opportunity to develop realised and repeatable solutions from constructive ideas

If you do not just want to draw plans but want to co-develop components, connections and systems, we would like to get to know you.

We look forward to your application.
