Tekla Detailer – Structural Steel
Location: Preston, Lancashire
Salary: Competitive, depending on experience
Job Type: Permanent, Full Time
The Company
The steel leaving this business doesn't stay in the workshop for long.
It becomes part of commercial buildings, industrial developments and major construction projects across the UK, with a steady pipeline of work keeping the detailing team busy.
This is a structural steel specialist where detailing is an important part of getting those projects from design through to fabrication. They're now looking for a Tekla Detailer who wants to be part of that process and take ownership of their work from model through to fabrication.
The Role
You will:
- Build and develop accurate 3D structural steel models using Tekla Structures.
- Produce fabrication and general arrangement drawings that give the workshop exactly what it needs.
- Work closely with engineers, estimators, and project teams to resolve issues before they reach fabrication.
- Take ownership of your packages, from the initial model through to final drawings.
- Review designs and identify clashes, inconsistencies, and detailing issues early.
- Work on a range of structural steel projects rather than producing the same drawings week after week.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Candidate
You will need:
- Practical experience using Tekla Structures within a structural steel environment.
- Experience producing fabrication drawings for structural steelwork.
- An understanding of how steelwork is fabricated and assembled — not just how it looks on screen.
- The ability to read and interpret engineering and architectural drawings.
It would also be useful if you have:
- Experience working on commercial, industrial, or other complex structural steel projects.
- Experience dealing directly with engineers, project managers, or fabrication teams.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The important part is that you can take a structural steel design and turn it into something that can actually be fabricated.
The Benefits
- Permanent position with a specialist structural steel business.
- A consistent pipeline of structural steel projects.
- Opportunity to work on varied and technically interesting packages.
- A role where your detailing experience is valued rather than treated as simply producing drawings.
- Scope to develop your technical knowledge and take on greater responsibility.
How to Apply

I'll give you the full picture, including the company, projects, and package, and let you decide whether it's worth a conversation.
