Company Description BlueShell Development Group Inc. is an integrated design-build firm with a strong focus on Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) as a structural system to deliver predictable, scalable urban development. The company emphasizes precision, BIM-led coordination, and single-point accountability to improve project outcomes and control risk. BlueShell is actively preparing for BUILDEX Vancouver 2026, where it will showcase its approach to CFS and collaborative project delivery. The team is committed to engaging with peers, partners, and industry leaders to advance best practices in modern construction and structural design. Role Description The Cold-Formed Steel Designer is a part-time, remote role based in BC. This role involves designing CFS structural systems for building projects, preparing detailed drawings and models, and coordinating with internal and external stakeholders to ensure alignment with architectural and structural requirements. The designer will use BIM tools and relevant software to develop accurate, buildable designs, perform structural checks and detailing, and support design-build integration throughout the project lifecycle. Daily responsibilities include collaborating with project managers, engineers, and fabrication teams, reviewing shop drawings, resolving design issues, and maintaining clear documentation to support predictable delivery and controlled risk. Qualifications Candidates should possess strong skills in structural design and analysis of Cold-Formed Steel systems, including familiarity with relevant building codes and standards. Candidates should possess skills in BIM-based modeling and coordination, with experience using tools such as Revit, Tekla, or comparable 3D design platforms.
