The role
Tekla Detailer – Structural Steelwork
Location: Preston, Lancashire
Salary: £45,000–£55,000 + benefits package
The steel detailed here does not sit in a model for long.
It moves quickly from screen to shop floor, then out onto projects that shape skylines, infrastructure and commercial spaces across the UK.
With a strong pipeline of work secured, this fabricator is looking for a Tekla Detailer who can turn design intent into accurate, fabrication-ready information and keep projects moving from drawing board to site.
You will be the link between engineering, fabrication and installation teams, making sure every connection works on screen before steel reaches the workshop.
What you'll be doing
- Build and coordinate detailed 3D models using Tekla Structures
- Produce GA, fabrication and erection drawings ready for manufacture and installation
- Develop connection details in line with engineering requirements and project specifications
- Work closely with engineers, project managers and workshop teams to resolve design challenges early
- Generate material schedules, bolt lists and CNC data for fabrication
- Support site and fabrication teams with technical queries as projects progress
What they're looking for
Must have:
- Previous experience detailing structural steelwork using Tekla Structures
- Strong understanding of fabrication and erection processes
- Ability to interpret engineering and architectural drawings
- Knowledge of steel connections, detailing principles and fabrication standards
- Experience producing fabrication-ready drawing packages
Nice to have:
- Familiarity with British Standards and Eurocodes
- Experience coordinating models across multiple trades
Why consider the move?
- Secure pipeline of structural steel projects
- Opportunity to work closely with fabrication and site teams, not just behind a screen
- Varied workload across multiple sectors and project types
- Clear opportunity to develop your technical expertise within an established steelwork environment
- Competitive salary and benefits package
