An SDS2 job typically involves working with SDS2 software, a specialized 3D steel detailing and modeling program used in structural engineering and fabrication. Professionals in this role create detailed structural steel designs, generate shop drawings, and ensure accurate fabrication and construction. SDS2 detailers and modelers work closely with engineers, fabricators, and contractors to improve efficiency and reduce errors in steel structure projects.
As an SDS2 Detailer, your daily tasks typically involve creating and reviewing detailed 3D models and fabrication drawings for structural steel projects using SDS2 software. You'll regularly interpret architectural and engineering plans, coordinate design changes with project managers and engineers, and ensure that your drawings meet industry standards and client specifications. Collaboration is key, as you’ll communicate with fabrication shops and construction teams to resolve any design or production challenges. The role is fast-paced and detail-oriented, making it ideal for professionals who enjoy technical precision and cross-disciplinary teamwork.
To thrive as an SDS2 Detailer, you need a solid background in structural steel detailing, construction principles, and interpreting engineering drawings, often supported by a degree or relevant experience in drafting or engineering. Expertise with SDS2 software, AutoCAD, and other modeling tools is highly valuable, and some employers may prefer candidates with certifications in steel detailing or BIM. Excellent attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills, and effective communication are critical soft skills for this role. These skills are essential for ensuring accurate fabrication drawings, reducing errors, and collaborating efficiently with engineers, architects, and fabricators.

Established in 1987, Mid-Tec, Inc. is a general contractor licensed or registered for business in 29 states, primarily in the Midwest and Southern regions of the United States.
Mid-Tec specializes in the food processing industry and our customer list includes companies such as Tyson Foods, Simmons, Butterball, Hillshire, Cargill, Nestle and International Food Ingredients. Most of our customers are repeat customers. Mid-Tec knows that when our customers are successful, we are successful and we take pride in the fact that we continue to do business year after year with the same companies.
Mid-Tec’s founder was a man named Jon Walker. Jon Walker moved to Missouri from Arizona to become a cattle farmer and pursue the great American Dream. Little did he know, that American dream would spiral into a multi-million dollar construction business. After trying his hand at farming for a few years, he decided to start a residential construction company out of his farm house kitchen. Before long, he sought opportunities working in the food processing industry. He quickly realized the benefits of becoming an industrial contractor and specializing in the food processing industry. In 2002, Jon Walker’s son and son-in-law took over the family business and still run it today.
Mid-Tec is also a big supporter of local education, charities and community events. We attend several local career fairs every year and have made a commitment to educate our youth about career possibilities in the construction industry.
