A Senior Steel Detailer with structural and architectural detailing experience is required at a leading civil engineering and construction company.

Location: East London, UK
Salary: £50,000 - £55,000 per annum

Key Responsibilities:

• Create accurate 3D models of structural and architectural steel components, including cladding, roofing, and metalwork, using Tekla Structures, while ensuring compliance with engineering specifications and project standards.
• Produce detailed fabrication and installation drawings, including assembly instructions, material specifications, welding symbols, and precise measurements for custom steel components.
• Collaborate with architects, designers, engineers, and fabrication teams to ensure all drawings align with the design intent, functional requirements, and fabrication feasibility.
• Revise and update drawings based on client feedback, project changes, and engineering reviews, ensuring accurate version control and documentation.
• Ensure all drawings specify the correct materials, finishes, tolerances, and comply with industry standards, building codes, and project-specific aesthetic and structural requirements.
• Conduct thorough quality checks on drawings, verifying specifications, measurements, and design accuracy to prevent fabrication errors.
• Maintain organised records of all drawings, revisions, and related documentation for easy reference.
• Provide regular updates to project managers and stakeholders on drawing progress, changes, and any challenges impacting project timelines.
• Provide technical support to the fabrication team, interpreting drawings and clarifying complex details to ensure accurate production.
• Assist the installation team by addressing on-site questions and resolving any design or measurement discrepancies during installation.

Requirements:

• 10+ years of detailing experience in architectural and structural steel using Tekla, with a solid understanding of both architectural metalwork and structural steel construction processes.
• Proficiency in Tekla Structures or similar 3D modeling and detailing software, with experience in rendering tools considered a plus.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to produce precise, visually accurate, and error-free drawings that meet both aesthetic and structural requirements.
• Familiarity with materials used in both architectural and structural work, such as stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and coatings, as well as knowledge of finishing techniques.
• Ability to find practical solutions for complex design challenges, particularly in custom or intricate metalwork projects.
• Familiarity with industry codes and standards, such as AISC, BS EN, and relevant building regulations.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills to collaborate with engineers, architects, designers, and fabrication teams, ensuring that design intent and specifications are consistently maintained.
