Bridge Brothers is seeking an experienced and highly skilled Senior Structural Steel Detailer to play a critical role in the creation of structural models and fabrication drawings.

• Produce accurate fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, and erection plans
• Interpret engineering drawings and specifications into fabrication-ready deliverables
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to resolve design conflicts and improve constructability
• Partner with fabrication teams to clarify details and revise models as needed during production
• Ensure all deliverables align with industry best practices in structural steel detailing
• Perform quality checks on drawings and models to ensure accuracy and completeness
• Revise designs based on engineering updates, field feedback, or purchasing requirements
• Support continuous improvement of detailing workflows and modeling standards
• Contribute to the refinement of internal detailing standards and best practices
• Research and implement improvements in detailing software functionality, automation, and integration with fabrication processes
• Utilize G Suite (Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Drive, etc.) to support documentation and collaboration

• Associate degree or equivalent experience in drafting, detailing, design, architecture, construction engineering, or fabrication
• 3–5+ years of experience in structural steel detailing
• Experience with Tekla Structures preferred, but candidates with strong experience in SDS2, Advance Steel, or other structural steel detailing software are encouraged to apply
• Strong understanding of steel fabrication processes, CNC equipment, and shop workflows
• Ability to independently manage detailing workload across multiple projects
• Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally
• Self-motivated, solutions-oriented, and committed to high-quality output

• Schedule:
  
  Monday–Friday (hours TBD), with overtime as needed
• Employment Type:
  
  Full-time, Exempt
• Benefits:
  Eligible after 90 days (medical, dental, vision, life insurance, PTO, and paid holidays)

This is an opportunity to operate at a high technical level within a growing bridge fabrication company
. You’ll have strong autonomy, meaningful project ownership, and the ability to directly influence fabrication efficiency and field execution — without the administrative burden of managing a team.

If you take pride in precision, build clean models, and enjoy solving complex structural challenges, we’d love to connect.
