Job summary

Dynamic Systems (DSI), LLC is seeking a Structural Detailer to produce shop-ready 3D models and fabrication drawings for skid frames, equipment stands, pipe racks, and related steel assemblies. You will ensure exact locations, transport tolerance, and shop-friendly fabrication details, acting as the bridge between engineering intent and the fitter.

Knowledge of detailing standards, clash detection, and coordination with mechanical, piping, and electrical content is essential.

Responsibilities

  • Model accurate 3D structural models of module frames, skids, racks, stands, and support steel from engineering drawings, sketches, and design criteria.
  • Produce complete fabrication deliverables: assembly drawings, single-part drawings, erection/set drawings, weld maps, bolt lists, and bills of material.
  • Detail connections per engineered design — welded and bolted, including weld symbols, sizes, prep, and access.
  • Model and detail lifting lugs, pick points, transport tie-down provisions, and shipping bracing.
  • Generate CNC/NC files for the drill line, saw, and plasma/laser as applicable.
  • Coordinate structural steel against mechanical, piping, and electrical content in the module; participate in clash detection and resolve interferences before release.
  • Verify equipment mounting patterns, anchor bolt layouts, and interface dimensions against approved vendor submittals — not against preliminary cut sheets.
  • Coordinate module-to-building interfaces, base connections, and field tie-in tolerances with project teams and the GC.
  • Work in Autodesk Construction Cloud for model exchange, issue tracking, RFIs, and drawing distribution.
  • Check own work before submitting; participate in peer checking and incorporate checker/engineer comments.
  • Maintain material traceability, grade callouts, and finish/coating requirements on all deliverables.
  • Answer shop floor questions during fabrication; issue clear, tracked revisions without stalling the line.
  • Update models to as-built condition and support turnover documentation.
  • Work within DSI's detailing standards, templates, connection libraries, and naming conventions — and help improve them.
  • Build reusable families, components, and standard details that shorten the next job.

Job description

Position Summary

The Structural Detailer produces the shop-ready models and fabrication drawings for the steel that carries DSI's modular mechanical assemblies — skid frames, equipment stands, pipe racks, seismic supports, lifting lugs, and transport structures. This is not generic building steel detailing. Every frame produced here has to accept mechanical equipment at exact locations, survive over-the-road transport and rigging, and hit a fabrication tolerance the shop can actually hold. The detailer is the bridge between the engineer's design intent and what the fitter reads at the station.
