Job Description
Steel Framing Detailer now required to join £70m steel fabricator with a focus on Light Steel Framing Projects.
About the Role
As their new Steel Detailer, you will be joining an experienced technical design team with a focus on the detailing and modelling of lightweight, cold-rolled steel framing systems for residential, commercial, and modular construction projects.
You will take architectural concepts and engineer them into precise, production-ready panel layouts and framing assemblies.
You will work closely with structural engineers, load-bearing system manufacturers, and site installation teams to ensure seamless project delivery.
Key Responsibilities
- Generate highly accurate 3D models of light gauge steel frames, load-bearing walls, floors, and roof cassettes.
- Produce detailed panel drawings, assembly layouts, and precise data files (CAM/NC) for automated roll-forming production lines.
- Detail specific LSF components, including track systems, studs, lintels, holding-down details, and bracing.
- Run comprehensive clash detection checks against architectural plans, hot-rolled steel structures, and MEP services.
- Proactively raise and resolve technical queries (RFIs) with clients, architects, and structural engineers.
What We Are Looking For
- Experience with detailing light gauge steel framing (SFS or LSF) systems within the UK construction sector.
- Strong experience with LSF-specific 3D design software (such as Tekla Structures, Vertex BD, Revit, or Autodesk Advance Steel).
- Deep understanding of cold-rolled steel design, manufacturing tolerances, thermal detailing, and drylining interfaces.
- Confident communicator able to bridge the gap between factory manufacturing limits and on-site building realities.
On Offer
- Competitive salary to be discussed.
- A genuine hybrid working model tailored to balance home-based detailing with collaborative office sessions.
- Comprehensive private medical insurance and secure company pension scheme.
- The opportunity to work at the forefront of modern methods of construction (MMC) with a highly secure order book.
- This company is an equal opportunities employer.
