Construction Detailer / Design Technician

Location: Hayward, CA

Job Description

A well-established structural metal decking contractor is seeking a skilled Construction Detailer / Design Technician to join its team. This is not a back-office drafting role—your work directly supports fabrication, installation, and successful project delivery in the field.

Why This Role Matters

Every line you draw helps crews build safely, efficiently, and correctly. Your shop drawings become the blueprint for real-world structures, and your attention to detail keeps projects moving forward.

You’ll collaborate closely with Project Managers and field leadership, solve design challenges, and see your work progress from screen to steel.

Key Responsibilities
  • Produce high-quality steel decking shop drawings using AutoCAD that align with project requirements and jobsite conditions

  • Interpret and coordinate information from architectural, structural, and engineering documents

  • Prepare, track, and revise submittals and RFIs, ensuring accuracy throughout project changes

  • Develop detailed bills of material to support fabrication and installation

  • Collaborate with Project Managers and field supervisors to resolve design and constructability questions

  • Update drawings based on revisions, clarifications, and field feedback

Benefits & Perks
  • Competitive compensation

  • Profit-sharing and long-term financial growth opportunities

  • Generous Paid Time Off (PTO)

  • Medical, Dental, Vision, and Prescription coverage

  • Company-funded Life Insurance

  • Short- and Long-Term Disability at no cost to the employee

  • Optional benefits including supplemental life insurance, income protection, hospitalization coverage, pet insurance, and an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Why Consider This Opportunity

This role offers the chance to contribute to meaningful projects, work closely with field operations, and build a long-term career in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment where individual contributions are valued.

This description outlines the primary responsibilities and requirements of the position and is not intended to be all-inclusive.
