Product Development/Improv
Lester Building Systems is a leading manufacturer and builder of pre-engineered post-frame structures. We are located just west of the Twin Cities on highway 7. Approximately 1500 Lester Buildings are constructed each year in the US. Lester Buildings are purchased for a wide variety of uses in the agricultural, equestrian, commercial, institutional and hobby markets. Most Lester Buildings are sold using Lester’s proprietary point of sale configuration software, Improv. Improv collects the customers’ building requirements, does a complete structural design, details the building, compiles the bill of material, calculates the building price, and produce drawings for sales, permitting, and construction. Improv is a Windows desktop application using SQL Server databases and VectorDraw graphics. Lester is committed to expanding Improv’s capabilities. We are seeking a talented individual to join our development team with the goal of accelerating the pace of development.
Position Summary:
This position will assist in development and maintenance of Improv®, our Lester Building Design and Pricing program along with other internal productivity programs. Overall duties include design, testing and deployment of new features and the transition of legacy code from VB6 to VB.NET. Emphasis will be on the structural engineering aspects of Improv and the associated programs.
