🔧 Detailing Manager | Structural Steel | North Carolina
🏢 The Company
For nearly a century, this family‑owned steel firm has grown from a small regional fabricator into a national player delivering industrial facilities, distribution centers, commercial buildings, and major data‑center projects.
They've doubled revenue over the past decade, expanded their fabrication capabilities, invested heavily in technology, and just completed a brand‑new office expansion to support continued growth. If you want stability, modern tools, and a team that genuinely backs each other - this is it.
🛠️ The Role
You'll lead and strengthen an in‑house detailing team of five detailers and a checker, reducing reliance on outsourced work and ensuring drawings are accurate, constructible, and delivered on time. Your work directly impacts fabrication quality, schedule reliability, and project success.
✅Core responsibilities:
- Manage workloads, priorities, and output for the detailing team.
- Review Tekla models, shop drawings, erection drawings, and fabrication packages.
- Coordinate with engineers, PMs, and fabrication teams to resolve clashes and RFIs.
- Maintain detailing schedules, revision control, and quality standards (AISC/AWS).
- Support fabrication and field teams with technical questions and constructability issues.
- Ensure accurate, timely drawing delivery across multiple active projects.
👤 The Candidate
You're a hands‑on, detail‑driven Tekla expert who thrives in a flat, family‑run environment. You prefer solving problems in real time, collaborating closely with fabrication and field teams, and producing work that stands up to scrutiny.
Must‑haves:
- Tekla Structures experience.
- 5+ years detailing experience.
- Ability to review, check, and correct complex steel packages.
- Strong communication with engineers, PMs, and shop teams.
💰 Salary & Benefits
- $110,000-$130,000
- Strong health, dental, and vision coverage.
- 401(k) with up to 15% company match after 90 days.
- Christmas bonus (typically 1-2 weeks' pay).
- Relocation support available.
📈 Why This Role Matters
Tekla detailers are in short supply - and this team needs someone who can make an immediate impact. You'll be stepping into a company with a massive pipeline (including seven Amazon distribution centers), long‑tenured staff, and leadership that reinvests heavily in growth.
