德才兼備方可作棟樑
Having integrity and talent can only be used for pillars

Numerous other examples online.

Editor: we already have an entry for 栋梁. 樑 is a variant of 梁 and is already included in the dictionary, so there is no need to add an entry for 栋樑 when the variant is already listed at the character level. Moreover, 栋梁 is far more common than the variant compound you submitted.
Diff:
# 棟樑 栋樑 [dong4 liang2] /pillar (often figurative, eg of community), tent pole/
