The posting

We are seeking an experienced Senior Tekla Detailer to lead structural steel modeling and detailing from design development through fabrication and field erection.

This is a senior technical role combining advanced Tekla Structures expertise with leadership, quality control, and workflow development. The successful candidate will produce and review fabrication-ready models and drawings while helping establish detailing standards, improve workflows, and mentor other detailers.

The ideal candidate has extensive experience in a structural steel fabrication environment and understands the complete detailing lifecycle—from 3D modeling and connection detailing through shop drawings, fabrication, delivery, and erection.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead structural steel modeling and detailing using Tekla Structures from design through fabrication and erection.
  • Develop accurate, fabrication-ready 3D models, shop drawings, erection drawings, bills of materials, and related detailing documentation.
  • Review structural drawings, architectural plans, specifications, engineering documents, and contract requirements to establish detailing scope.
  • Identify design conflicts, missing information, constructability issues, and potential fabrication or erection challenges.
  • Develop, maintain, and improve Tekla standards, templates, custom components, workflows, and detailing procedures.
  • Review models and drawings for accuracy, completeness, constructability, dimensional consistency, and compliance with project requirements.
  • Coordinate with structural engineers, fabricators, production teams, project managers, general contractors, and field personnel to resolve technical issues.
  • Support complex connection detailing, modeling challenges, revisions, and field-related detailing requirements.
  • Provide technical leadership, training, and mentorship to junior and intermediate detailers.
  • Establish quality-control practices to maintain consistent detailing standards across projects.
  • Ensure detailing reflects actual fabrication capabilities, shop requirements, erection sequencing, and field conditions.
  • Manage multiple projects and detailing priorities while meeting production schedules and deadlines.
  • Identify opportunities to improve modeling efficiency, drawing quality, standardization, and overall detailing workflows.
  • Support the transition from engineering and 3D modeling to fabrication and field erection.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of structural steel detailing experience.
  • Advanced proficiency with Tekla Structures required.
  • Direct structural steel fabrication experience required.
  • Strong understanding of structural steel fabrication, connection detailing, shop drawings, material requirements, and erection sequencing.
  • Proven experience producing fabrication-ready Tekla models and drawings.
  • Experience developing or improving Tekla standards, templates, custom components, workflows, or detailing procedures.
  • Previous experience leading, mentoring, training, or providing technical direction to structural steel detailers.
  • Ability to read and interpret structural drawings, architectural plans, specifications, engineering documents, and fabrication requirements.
  • Strong understanding of steel connections, constructability, tolerances, fabrication processes, and erection requirements.
  • Experience coordinating with engineering, fabrication, production, project management, and field teams.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to accurate, fabrication-ready documentation.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and meet demanding production schedules.
  • Strong understanding of the complete workflow from design and modeling through fabrication, delivery, and field erection.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications.
  • Health insurance and retirement plan options.
  • Paid time off and company holidays.
  • Stable pipeline of structural steel fabrication projects.
  • High level of technical ownership and leadership responsibility.
  • Opportunity to influence Tekla standards, modeling practices, and detailing workflows.
  • Collaborative team environment.
  • Professional development and advancement opportunities.
  • Long-term career growth within an established structural steel organization.
