Vacancy Detail
Oakwood is not a design office. We don’t create the original concepts or take on design responsibility. What we do is equally vital — we take the engineer’s or architect’s design information and turn it into accurate, buildable 3D models and fabrication drawings.
As an Apprentice Steel Detailer, you’ll be trained in:
- Developing 3D models of steel structures based on supplied design information
- Producing fabrication and assembly drawings that fabricators and site teams rely on
- Identifying missing details and resolving buildability issues through clear communication
- Coordinating with fabricators and contractors so everything fits on site
- Breaking down complex designs into thousands of precise parts and packages
- You’ll be the link between the design and the build — making sure that what’s on paper can actually be manufactured and assembled in the real world
