Steel Detailer (Structural / Platework)

Onsite Opportunity | Long-Term Potential

Sirius Talent is seeking an experienced Steel Detailer to join an engineering and fabrication team supporting large-scale industrial projects. This role requires a strong background in structural steel and platework detailing and is intended for someone who can step in and contribute with minimal ramp-up. This is not an entry-level drafting position.

The position supports fabrication-driven projects serving power plants, paper mills, and refineries, including electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), baghouses, large-scale support structures, boiler buildings, heavy industrial ductwork, and multi-level access systems.

This is a contract-to-hire opportunity with long-term potential for the right candidate. It is well suited for a detailer with hands-on knowledge of steel fabrication and the ability to produce accurate, shop-ready drawings in a collaborative engineering environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Produce detailed shop drawings from design/engineering drawings for fabrication
  • Detail components including structural steel, platework, panels, stairs, and walkway access systems
  • Generate erection drawings for field installation and assembly
  • Create material cut lists and burn table templates
  • Apply basic AISC standard connection detailing based on engineer-provided loads
  • Collaborate with engineers and designers to resolve design conflicts and fabrication challenges
  • Manage and track drawing revisions
  • Review and check drawings produced by other detailers for accuracy and completeness
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards, safety protocols, and project specifications

Required Qualifications

  • 5 years of experience in structural steel and/or platework fabrication detailing
  • Strong proficiency in AutoCAD (2D detailing required)
  • Working knowledge of steel fabrication processes, including welding and bolting
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering and fabrication drawings
  • Strong math skills, attention to detail, and problem-solving ability
  • High school diploma or equivalent required
  • Clear communication skills in English
  • US Citizenship required
  • Must be able to work onsite (no remote work)
  • No travel required

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with AISC standards and connection detailing
  • Exposure to 3D detailing tools (Tekla, SDS/2, etc.)
  • Vocational or technical training in drafting/design (or equivalent hands-on experience)
