What you'll do
Own structural steel detailing packages end-to-end in Tekla Structures: model authoring, connection design checks, shop and erection drawing production, and material take-offs
Resolve RFIs and clashes directly with clients and engineers, escalating only genuine decisions rather than routine ones
Manage your own workload and deadlines across multiple concurrent packages with minimal day-to-day supervision
Coordinate with fabrication and site teams to ensure drawings match buildability and erection sequence
Flag risks or scope issues early, with a proposed solution rather than just a problem
Desired Candidate Profile
Required skills and experience
5+ years of structural steel detailing experience, including at least 2 years owning full packages independently (not just modeling under a lead detailer)
Expert-level Tekla Structures (modeling and drawing production)
Prior experience detailing for GCC-based fabricators or projects — familiarity with AISC and BS/Eurocode connection standards and Gulf client approval workflows
Fluent written and spoken English — comfortable corresponding directly with clients and engineers
Demonstrated ability to work autonomously: a portfolio you can walk us through, showing decisions you made independently on past projects
Strong grasp of structural connection design principles, not just software operation
BIM Coordination capability
Nice to have
Advance Steel or SDS/2 experience in addition to Tekla
Formal qualification in civil/structural engineering, drafting, or a related technical field
Experience detailing for UK or Irish clients/codes specifically
Experience mentoring or checking the work of junior detailers
