Coordination, estimating, drafting, project management, sales — every role here touches a real structure. We're the team fabricators and GCs hand a package to, and these are the people who make that work. Open positions at our Kodak, Tennessee office.
Based at our Kodak, Tennessee office; field roles travel to project sites. Click a role for the full description, then apply below.
You're the link between the federated model and the people standing on the slab. You keep the BIM current as the job evolves, catch clashes before they become change orders, and make sure what the field builds matches what the model promises.
Or email hr@cadlions.com with your resume.
You own the job once it leaves the drawing set: schedule, subs, safety, owner. Metal building and steel projects across our build footprint, run by someone who has stood on a slab before, not just read about one.
Or email hr@cadlions.com with your resume.
The office-side counterpart to the field: you keep drawings, RFIs, submittals and revisions moving between clients, engineering and fabrication so nothing sits in an inbox while a shop waits.
Or email hr@cadlions.com with your resume.
You sell what the rest of the building delivers: engineering, detailing and metal buildings to fabricators, GCs and owners. Real technical services, sold honestly, to buyers who can smell fluff a mile away.
Or email hr@cadlions.com with your resume.
You run the drafting operation: standards, quality, workload and people. The buffer between engineering's intent and a shop's deadline, and the reason drawings leave here clean.
Or email hr@cadlions.com with your resume.
You put the number on the job: takeoffs, pricing and bid packages for steel, PEMB and detailing scopes. Sharp enough to win the work, honest enough that we still make money building it.
Or email hr@cadlions.com with your resume.
We'd still like to see your resume. Good engineers are hard to find, and roles open up faster than pages get updated.

You will not be a spreadsheet in a 5,000-person org. You'll sit close enough to the work that your name is on it, talk directly to the fabricator or the field when something doesn't fit, and see the consequences of your decisions in weeks rather than never. People who want to get good at this business get good here quickly.
Connection design and calculation packages are sealed by licensed PEs, we hold to AISC and IBC, and every package runs a real QA/QC gate before it ships. Rigor is the culture, not a poster in the break room.
Not ping-pong tables. The conditions that let an engineer do careful work and go home at a reasonable hour.
You run jobs, not fragments. People here are trusted with whole projects under review far sooner than at a large firm, because that's how anyone actually learns this business.
The work ships under licensed PE review, and the people who hold the seals explain the why, not just the redline. Whatever your role, you learn how buildings really go together.
PEMB, conventional steel, foundations, coordination, field work. Different buildings, clients and jurisdictions every month, so the tenth year doesn't look like the first repeated ten times.
We staff around submittal windows deliberately. Crunch happens in this industry, but here it's the exception with a reason, not the default operating mode.
We work in the platforms your shop and erectors already use, with in-house tooling built to kill the busywork. Licensed software, real hardware, no fighting a 2009 workstation.
Kodak sits between Knoxville and the Smokies. Short commute, low cost of living, mountains on the weekend. Your salary goes considerably further here than it does in a coastal metro.
We hire people who care whether the thing gets built right. Everything else — software, codes, the way we do submittals — we can teach.Sheikh MazahhorChief Operating Officer, Cadlions
You'll always know where you stand, and you'll hear back either way.
Send your resume through the form below. A cover letter is optional; a line about what you've actually designed helps more.
A short conversation about your experience, what you want next, and how we work. Ask us hard questions here.
You walk us through a project you're proud of, and we talk through a real design problem together. No trick puzzles or whiteboard theater.
Meet the team, see the office, and get a written offer with the details spelled out.
One form, one attachment. We read every application that comes in, and you'll get a response either way.

Yes — for the roles listing 2+ years we'll still read a strong new-grad application. What matters is whether you can think through a project and be honest about what you don't know yet. Tell us about something you've built, coordinated or sold, and what you'd do differently.
Ask us directly at hr@cadlions.com and we'll give you a straight answer for the specific role before you invest time in a process.
Most roles are based at our Kodak, Tennessee office; the onsite PM travels to project sites. This work benefits from people being able to turn around and argue about a detail, especially early on. Ask about flexibility during the intro call.
Small firm, real ladders: coordinators grow into managers, drafters into leads, estimators into senior seats — and engineers chasing a PE work under licensed PEs who can supervise the experience. You're not waiting for someone to retire to move up.
Usually two to three weeks from application to offer, depending on scheduling. If we're not moving forward we'll tell you rather than leaving you to guess.
Send your resume. If there's a fit, you'll hear from a person, not an auto-reply.
