A specialist contractor with in-house steelwork capability is looking for an experienced Steelwork Detailer to join its growing technical team. This is a hands-on detailing role working on complex structural steel and temporary works packages-where what you draw directly informs what gets fabricated and built.

The successful candidate will work closely with engineers, fabricators, and site teams to produce high-quality, accurate drawings that reflect real-world constraints and construction methods. It's a role suited to a detailer who understands both the software and the shop floor.

Key Responsibilities:

• Produce detailed fabrication and erection drawings using Tekla Structures
• Model steelwork assemblies, connections, and components accurately to suit fabrication and site conditions
• Generate GA drawings, material lists, bolt lists, and CNC files
• Coordinate with engineers, fabricators, and site teams to resolve design/detailing queries
• Apply a buildability-focused approach to all outputs
• Ensure models and drawings meet relevant codes, client standards, and internal QA procedures

What You'll Bring:

• Proven experience as a steelwork detailer (ideally 3+ years)
• Proficiency in Tekla Structures is essential
• Good understanding of steel fabrication, erection methods, and connection types
• Familiarity with Eurocodes and UK industry standards
• Ability to read and interpret structural engineering drawings and calculations
• Attention to detail, accuracy, and a proactive approach to solving issues
• Experience working in a Tier 2 or subcontractor environment (preferred)

Why Join?

• Be part of a team that self-delivers from design through to fabrication and install
• Work on technically interesting and varied structural steel packages
• Competitive salary, pension, and benefits
• Supportive and knowledgeable team environment
• Opportunity for long-term progression and technical development
