Facade Engineer

A Facade Engineer designs and oversees the installation of building facades, ensuring they are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. You might work in architectural firms, construction companies, or engineering consultancies. Facade Engineers focus on the structural integrity, energy efficiency, and weather resistance of building exteriors. You’ll collaborate with architects and construction teams to develop facade systems that meet design specifications and regulatory standards.

Facade Engineers play a crucial role in shaping the visual and environmental performance of buildings. You’ll need to be skilled in structural engineering, materials science, and building regulations. You’ll work closely with clients and project teams to deliver high-quality, innovative facade solutions that enhance the building's overall design and functionality.
