  • Apply AISC 360, MBMA, and IAS AC472 standards to all detailing work
  • Output BOM and part lists compatible with company's production system
  • Participate in QC checks before fab release
  • Support shop and field with RFI responses during fabrication and erection
Required:
  • 3+ years of structural steel detailing experience (5+ for senior consideration)
  • Proficiency in Tekla Structures (current version)
  • Working knowledge of AISC 360 detailing conventions and NISD standards
