Structural Detailer - Steel Stairs & Architectural Metalwork

Location: Leeds
Salary: Dependent on experience
Job Type: Permanent, Full Time

When the finished steelwork needs to fit first time, good detailing makes all the difference.

We're looking for an experienced Structural Detailer / Tekla Detailer to join a specialist business designing, fabricating and installing highly engineered steel staircases, balustrades, architectural metalwork and structural steelwork.

You'll be responsible for turning architectural and structural information into accurate 3D Tekla models and detailed fabrication and construction drawings that can be taken from the drawing office through to fabrication and installation.

The Role

You'll be involved in the technical detailing of projects from initial information through to final construction drawings.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Producing accurate 3D models using Tekla Structures.

• Producing detailed fabrication and construction drawings for steelwork.

• Detailing steel staircases, balustrades and architectural metalwork.

• Developing practical detailing solutions from architectural and structural drawings.

• Interpreting specifications, customer requirements and project information.

• Ensuring models and drawings accurately reflect the design and project requirements.

• Producing clear construction information suitable for fabrication and installation.

• Liaising with clients regarding technical queries and detailing requirements.

• Working with project stakeholders to resolve technical issues.

• Managing drawing revisions and ensuring the latest information is available.

• Maintaining accurate drawing records and project documentation.

• Working closely with colleagues across design, project management, fabrication and installation.

What We're Looking For

You'll ideally have previous experience working as a Structural Detailer, Tekla Detailer, Steel Detailer, Architectural Metalwork Detailer or Structural Technician.

We're looking for someone with:

• Strong working knowledge of Tekla Structures.

• Previous experience producing accurate 3D models and fabrication/construction drawings.

• The ability to read and interpret architectural and structural drawings.

• Understanding of specifications and customer requirements.

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.

• The ability to develop practical detailing solutions.

• Good understanding of how drawings translate into fabrication and installation.

• Strong organisational skills and an ability to manage drawing revisions and deadlines.

• Good communication skills and confidence dealing with technical queries.

Experience With Any of the Following Would Be Particularly Relevant:

• Steel staircases

• Balustrades

• Architectural metalwork

• Structural steelwork

• Fabrication drawings

• Tekla Structures

• Bespoke steelwork

• Construction detailing

Previous experience within architectural metalwork or steel stairs would be particularly advantageous, although strong structural steel detailing experience will also be considered.

Why Consider This Role?

This is an opportunity to work on specialist steelwork projects where the quality of the detailing has a direct impact on what happens in the workshop and on site.

You'll see your work progress from 3D model, to fabrication, to finished installation, rather than simply producing drawings that disappear into a wider design process.

Projects range from one-off applications through to larger multi-site and multi-flight installations, giving you plenty of variety and the opportunity to work on technically interesting steelwork.

Benefits Include

• Company pension.

• Company sick pay scheme.

• Health plan.

• Cycle to Work scheme.

• Save As You Earn / Share Save scheme.

• Option to purchase additional holidays.

• Career development opportunities.

• Permanent, full-time position.

The Person We're Looking For

You might currently be working as a Tekla Detailer, Structural Detailer, Steel Detailer, Architectural Metalwork Detailer or Structural Technician and be looking for an opportunity to work on more specialist steelwork.

You'll be someone who enjoys the technical side of detailing, takes pride in producing accurate work and understands that a good drawing needs to work just as well in the fabrication shop as it does on screen.

If you have strong Tekla Structures experience and want to work on specialist stairs, balustrades and architectural steelwork, this could be a great opportunity.
