Job description

Tekla Detailer - Structural Steel

Location: Preston, Lancashire

Salary: Competitive, depending on experience

Job Type: Permanent, Full Time

The Company

The steel leaving this business doesn't stay in the workshop for long.

It becomes part of commercial buildings, industrial developments and major construction projects across the UK, with a steady pipeline of work keeping the detailing team busy.

This is a structural steel specialist where detailing is an important part of getting those projects from design through to fabrication. They're now looking for a Tekla Detailer who wants to be part of that process and take ownership of their work from model through to fabrication.

The Role

You will:

• Build and develop accurate 3D structural steel models using Tekla Structures.
• Produce fabrication and general arrangement drawings that give the workshop exactly what it needs.
• Work closely with engineers, estimators and project teams to resolve issues before they reach fabrication.
• Take ownership of your packages, from the initial model through to final drawings.
• Review designs and identify clashes, inconsistencies and detailing issues early.
• Work on a range of structural steel projects rather than producing the same drawings week after week.

The Candidate

You will need:

• Practical experience using Tekla Structures within a structural steel environment.
• Experience producing fabrication drawings for structural steelwork.
• An understanding of how steelwork is fabricated and assembled - not just how it looks on screen.
• The ability to read and interpret engineering and architectural drawings.

It would also be useful if you have:

• Experience working on commercial, industrial or other complex structural steel projects.
• Experience dealing directly with engineers, project managers or fabrication teams.

The important part is that you can take a structural steel design and turn it into something that can actually be fabricated.

The Benefits

• Permanent position with a specialist structural steel business.
• A consistent pipeline of structural steel projects.
• Opportunity to work on varied and technically interesting packages.
• A role where your detailing experience is valued rather than treated as simply producing drawings.
• Scope to develop your technical knowledge and take on greater responsibility.
