Job opportunity
Head of Engineering
Mitrex - Building-Integrated Solar Technology
Mitrex is Canada’s only S134 / NFPA 285-certified manufacturer of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). We manufacture solar facades, cladding, railings, roof panels, and noise barriers that turn building envelopes into clean energy generators, and our work has earned a Guinness World Record. Cladify is our rainscreen and architectural cladding systems brand. We manufacture ventilated rainscreen assemblies in porcelain, ACM, and stone-composite materials — along with subframing systems like Cladishield — that give architects design flexibility without compromising building envelope performance. Mitrex holds ISO 9001, ISO 10002 and ISO 10004 certifications — the only BIPV manufacturer to do so.
Together, our projects range from healthcare and education campuses to high-rise residential and infrastructure. We deliver to general contractors as a supply partner and, on select projects, as a supply-and-install partner.

Position Summary
We're looking for a Head of Engineering to lead the technical side of the business across both Mitrex (BIPV) and Cladify (rainscreen). You'll lead our design and drafting team, with the Design Lead reporting to you, and be the licensed engineer who reviews, signs off and stamps the shop drawings our factory and installers build from. You'll own technical direction on our projects, including ISD approval, and lead R&D and new product development as we expand both product lines.
This is a senior, hands-on leadership role for a licensed P.Eng with deep façade and building envelope experience — someone who is comfortable putting their stamp on delegated-design work, setting the technical standard for a growing team, and shaping the next generation of our products.
Job Responsibilities
Lead the design and drafting team, with the Design Lead reporting directly to you; set technical standards, priorities and quality expectations across both Mitrex and Cladify projects
Develop the team: coach the Design Lead and drafters, build engineering capability in-house, and plan resourcing as project volume grows
Act as the senior technical escalation point for the team, project management, production and clients
Review, sign off and stamp shop drawings, calculations and engineering deliverables for Mitrex BIPV façades and Cladify rainscreen systems as the engineer responsible for delegated design
Ensure drawings and designs meet applicable codes, standards and project specifications, and that delegated-design responsibilities are met on every project
Own ISD approval on projects and ensure the engineering package is complete and correct before release to fabrication
Build and manage a roster of external stamping engineers for jurisdictions where you are not licensed (other provinces, US states)
Technical Direction on Projects
Own technical direction on projects from award through fabrication and installation, including attachment systems, subframing, interfaces with adjacent trades, and electrical integration on BIPV projects
Resolve technical questions from architects, consultants, general contractors and authorities having jurisdiction, and defend engineering decisions where required
Support certification and compliance requirements (e.g. UL, IEC, ESA) tied to product and project approvals
Run our design process: internal kickoff, ISD and ISD review, then shop drawings, with a maximum of three client submission rounds and all internal errors resolved before submission.
R&D & New Product Development
Lead R&D and new product development across both brands — from concept and prototyping through testing, certification and release to production
Drive continuous improvement of existing products and systems for performance, manufacturability and cost
Work with production, sales and project management to bring new products to market and support them in the field
Qualifications
Licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng) with Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) in good standing, able to stamp drawings
7–10+ years of engineering experience, ideally in façade, building envelope or delegated design
Knowledge of OBC/NBC and wind-load and anchorage design for cladding, plus working knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit and Inventor
Product development experience — taking new products or systems from concept to production
Experience leading a team of engineers, designers or drafters
Registration in other Canadian provinces and/or a US PE licence is an asset
Based at our office at 41 Racine Road, Etobicoke (Toronto), ON
Vertically integrated manufacturer — the drawings you stamp go straight to our own factory floor, and you see them built
ISO 9001, ISO 10002 and ISO 10004 certified — a quality system no other BIPV manufacturer holds
Landmark project portfolio in Canada, the US, and the Middle East
Growth-stage company investing heavily in new products and technology
A chance to lead and shape the engineering and design function, not just operate within an existing one
Competitive salary and benefits
Mitrex/Cladify is an equal-opportunity employer that welcomes all candidates from diverse backgrounds. Accommodations are available upon request for candidates participating in all aspects of the selection process.
