Job description

Detailing Project Manager – Structural Steel & Insulated Metal Panels

Location: Utah, United States

Employment Type: Full-Time | On-Site

Industry: Structural Steel | Insulated Metal Panels (IMP) | Construction

The Opportunity

Are you an experienced Detailing Project Manager, Structural Steel Design Manager, or Technical Project Manager with a strong background in structural steel detailing and design coordination?

We are working with a rapidly growing structural steel and construction company in Utah seeking an experienced professional to manage the design and detailing process for its expanding

Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) division.

This is a project management and design coordination role focused on overseeing external detailing teams, coordinating engineers, reviewing technical drawings, managing design schedules, and ensuring drawing packages progress through approval and into construction.

You will not be responsible for producing shop drawings or creating 3D models yourself. Instead, you will manage the teams responsible for this work, review their deliverables, identify technical and coordination issues, and ensure projects remain on schedule.

We are particularly interested in professionals who have previously managed structural steel detailing projects, coordinated outsourced detailing teams, or overseen design packages within structural steel fabrication, architectural metal panels, or building envelope construction.

Direct experience with insulated metal panels is beneficial but not essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the design and detailing process for insulated metal panel wall systems.
• Oversee external detailing teams and engineering consultants, ensuring accurate and timely drawing deliverables.
• Review architectural, structural, and shop drawings to identify discrepancies and coordination issues.
• Manage detailing schedules, drawing submissions, revisions, and approval processes.
• Coordinate RFIs, design changes, and technical queries with engineers, architects, and project managers.
• Monitor external detailing performance, quality, deadlines, and outstanding deliverables.
• Lead design coordination meetings and ensure technical issues are resolved.
• Coordinate engineering and detailing purchase orders with external providers.
• Work closely with internal project management, estimating, and construction teams to support project delivery.

Requirements

• Experience in detailing project management, design management, or technical project management within structural steel, metal panels, or related construction systems.
• Strong understanding of structural steel detailing processes and technical drawing packages.
• Proven experience managing or coordinating engineers, detailers, or external design consultants.
• Ability to review structural and architectural drawings and identify technical issues.
• Experience managing drawing approvals, RFIs, revisions, and design schedules.
• Strong project coordination, communication, and organisational skills.
• Ability to take ownership of design deliverables and drive technical issues through to resolution.

Preferred Experience

• Structural steel fabrication and detailing project management.
• Insulated metal panel (IMP) systems or architectural metal cladding.
• Building envelope design and construction.
• Outsourced detailing and engineering management.
• Familiarity with Tekla Structures, SDS/2, or similar detailing software.

A degree is not mandatory. Relevant industry experience and proven design coordination capability are more important.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary based on experience.
• Performance-related bonus opportunities.
• 401(k) with company matching.
• Relocation assistance for suitable candidates.
• Opportunity to support a growing division delivering major commercial and industrial construction projects.
