The posting

We’re seeking a Senior Tekla Detailer to lead structural steel modeling and detailing from initial design through fabrication and field erection. The ideal candidate has extensive structural steel detailing experience, advanced proficiency in Tekla Structures, and a strong background in steel fabrication. This role combines hands-on modeling with quality assurance, workflow development, and team mentorship to ensure accurate, constructible, fabrication-ready deliverables.

Responsibilities

  • Lead structural steel modeling and detailing in Tekla Structures throughout design development, fabrication, and erection.
  • Produce detailed 3D models, shop drawings, erection plans, bills of materials, and supporting fabrication documentation.
  • Analyze structural and architectural drawings, engineering specifications, contracts, and related documents to determine detailing requirements.
  • Identify design discrepancies, missing information, constructability concerns, and potential fabrication or installation challenges.
  • Establish, develop, and maintain Tekla modeling standards, templates, custom components, detailing workflows, and internal procedures.
  • Perform quality reviews of models and drawings to verify accuracy, completeness, dimensional consistency, constructability, and compliance with project specifications.
  • Collaborate with structural engineers, steel fabricators, production personnel, project managers, general contractors, and field teams to resolve technical questions.
  • Provide technical support for complex steel connections, modeling issues, drawing revisions, and field installation requirements.
  • Mentor and train junior and intermediate detailers, providing technical guidance and reviewing their work.
  • Implement quality-control processes to maintain consistent detailing standards and reduce errors across projects.
  • Ensure models and drawings account for shop capabilities, fabrication methods, erection sequences, tolerances, and actual field conditions.
  • Manage multiple detailing assignments, prioritize workloads, and meet project milestones and production deadlines.
  • Identify and implement improvements to modeling efficiency, drawing accuracy, standardization, and detailing processes.
  • Coordinate project deliverables from engineering and modeling through fabrication, material delivery, and field erection.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of structural steel detailing experience.
  • Advanced proficiency in Tekla Structures is required.
  • Direct experience working in a structural steel fabrication environment is required.
  • Strong understanding of steel fabrication processes, connection detailing, shop drawings, material specifications, and erection sequencing.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop accurate, fabrication-ready Tekla models and detailed construction drawings.
  • Experience creating or improving Tekla standards, templates, custom components, modeling workflows, or detailing procedures.
  • Previous experience mentoring, training, leading, or providing technical oversight to structural steel detailers.
  • Ability to interpret structural drawings, architectural plans, engineering documents, specifications, and fabrication requirements.
  • In-depth knowledge of steel connections, fabrication tolerances, constructability, shop processes, and field erection requirements.
  • Experience coordinating with engineering, fabrication, production, project management, and field operations teams.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to producing accurate, complete, fabrication-ready documentation.
  • Ability to manage competing priorities and deliver quality work within demanding production schedules.
  • Comprehensive understanding of the structural steel workflow from design and modeling through fabrication, delivery, and erection.

  • Steady pipeline of structural steel fabrication projects.
  • Significant technical ownership and leadership responsibilities.
