Tekla Detailer
Location: Wakefield
Job Type: Permanent, Full Time
Salary: Competitive, based on experience
The Company
The steel leaving this business does not stay in the workshop.
It becomes part of major commercial, industrial, infrastructure and specialist projects across the UK, the kind of structures where getting the detail right before fabrication matters.
With a strong order book and a reputation for technically challenging structural steelwork, this is an opportunity to join an established contractor where the drawing office sits at the heart of project delivery.
They are now looking for an experienced Tekla Detailer to join the team in Wakefield.
The Role
You will take engineering information and turn it into the models and drawings that allow fabrication and installation to happen.
You will:
- Build accurate 3D structural steel models using Tekla Structures.
- Produce fabrication, assembly, GA and erection drawings ready for manufacture and site.
- Interpret engineering information and turn complex requirements into practical steelwork details.
- Coordinate with engineers, project managers, fabrication teams and site personnel to keep projects moving.
- Resolve detailing issues before they reach the workshop or site.
- Manage revisions, material information and project outputs through to completion.
The projects will give you exposure to structural steelwork that is more technically involved than the standard building frame, with complex connections, coordination and fabrication requirements forming part of the challenge.
The Candidate
You will already understand structural steel from a fabrication and construction perspective, rather than coming purely from a design environment.
Must Have
- Proven experience as a Tekla Detailer / Structural Steel Detailer.
- Strong working knowledge of Tekla Structures.
- Experience producing fabrication, assembly and erection drawings.
- Ability to read and interpret structural engineering drawings.
- Understanding of how structural steel is fabricated and erected.
- Experience working to project deadlines and managing your own detailing workload.
Nice to Have
- Experience on large-scale or technically complex steelwork projects.
- Experience within a major structural steel contractor or fabrication business.
- Knowledge of relevant British/European standards.
- Experience coordinating steelwork with other disciplines.
- Familiarity with Tekla fabrication outputs and CNC data.
- Experience with complex connections or high-tonnage projects.
Why This Role?
This is not a role where you will spend your time detailing the same straightforward frame.
You will be working alongside experienced engineering, project management and fabrication teams on projects where the quality of the detailing directly affects what happens in the workshop and on site.
For the right person, it offers the chance to broaden their experience, work on more technically demanding steelwork and build a career within an established business with a strong project pipeline.
