Detailer - Steel

Job Description

Position Summary

This role sits right at the connection point between design and fabrication—where models turn into real product.

As a Mechanical Detailer, you’ll take coordinated models, specs, and field inputs and turn them into clean, shop-ready drawings that fabrication can actually build from—no guesswork, no back-and-forth. You’ll partner closely with our VDC team and Project Coordinators to make sure what’s designed is accurate, buildable, and delivered on time. If the shop is asking questions, we missed something. The goal here is simple: clarity, accuracy, and speed. This role helps us move faster, reduce reliance on remote support, and build stronger on-site execution. Bottom line: what you produce directly impacts what gets built.

Preferred Qualifications

• 3 years of experience in a similar fabrication drafting role
