Modular Building Detailer

The Modular Building Detailer will be responsible for producing detailed shop and erection drawings that guide the fabrication and assembly of structural steel frames for our modular buildings and panelized wall systems. Working closely with engineers, project managers, and fabrication personnel, you will translate engineering designs into accurate, buildable drawings that ensure efficient manufacturing and on-site installation across projects nationwide.

• Interpret and analyze architectural and structural engineering drawings and specifications to understand project requirements for modular buildings and panelized wall systems
• Create comprehensive shop drawings for all structural steel components including beams, columns, braces, connection plates, trusses, and miscellaneous steel items
• Develop clear and accurate erection drawings that provide step-by-step guidance for assembly in our manufacturing facility and on-site installation
• Produce anchor bolt plans showing precise locations and installation methods for field crews

• Create detailed 3D models of structural steel frames using Solid Works
• Perform clash detection to identify and resolve spatial conflicts with other building systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) before fabrication begins
• Visualize component fit and assembly sequences to minimize costly field modifications
• Model connections, penetrations, and interface details accurately

• Generate Bills of Materials (BOMs) with accurate material specifications, quantities, and part numbers
• Produce bolt lists, cut lists, and other fabrication data required by shop personnel
• Include exact dimensions, material specifications, welding symbols, bolt types/sizes, and hole patterns on all drawings
• Maintain organized project files and drawing revision control

• Ensure all drawings comply with relevant industry standards including AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) and AWS (American Welding Society)
• Verify compliance with local building codes and jurisdiction-specific requirements
• Review drawings for accuracy, completeness, and buildability before release to fabrication
• Conduct self-checks to catch errors before they impact production schedules

• Coordinate closely with structural engineers, project managers, and fabrication shop personnel
• Issue and track Requests for Information (RFIs) to resolve design discrepancies or incomplete information
• Incorporate design changes efficiently and communicate revisions to affected team members
• Participate in project meetings to discuss design intent, fabrication challenges, and schedule requirements
• Work with permitting department to ensure drawings meet state-specific modular building requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent;
  Associate's degree in Drafting/Design, Civil Engineering Technology, or related field preferred
• 3+ years of experience as a structural steel detailer or similar role
• Proficiency in Solid Works for 3D modeling and design
• Proficiency in AutoCAD for 2D drafting and documentation
• Strong understanding of structural steel principles, welding techniques, and fabrication processes
• Experience reading and interpreting architectural and structural engineering drawings
• Knowledge of steel connections, bolting, and welding details
• Exceptional attention to detail and precision in all work
• Strong problem-solving abilities and practical, buildable design approach
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

• Experience in modular construction, pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB), or offsite manufacturing environment
• Familiarity with multi-state permitting requirements for modular buildings
• Understanding of industrialized building construction methods
• Experience with panelized wall system detailing
• Knowledge of sheet metal and miscellaneous steel detailing
• Previous work in a manufacturing or fabrication shop environment

• Technical expertise:
  Strong grasp of mathematics, geometry, and structural engineering principles
• Attention to detail:
  Meticulous precision,…
