What is a CAD detailer?

A CAD detailer is responsible for using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software to produce detailed drawings for steel fabricators, steel erectors, and other clients. As part of your job duties, you develop thorough plans that include drawings, blueprints, and other design documents. These documents are then used by fabricators and builders in their construction process. In this career, you will often work with other construction professionals like architects, building engineers, and general contractors. Qualifications include spatial, mathematics, and communication skills, along with industry experience.
