We are looking to recruit a Mechanical Engineer or Civil / Structural Engineer with experience in steel structures to support the technical analysis and preparation of manufacturing dossiers for steel fabrication.
Main Responsibilities
- Analyse customer drawings, structural steel drawings and technical specifications.
- Prepare technical dossiers for fabrication, including production documentation, material lists, cutting lists and assembly information.
- Review steel structure details, welded joints, bolted connections and fabrication requirements.
- Interpret engineering drawings, 3D models and project specifications.
- Identify missing information, technical inconsistencies or potential fabrication issues before production starts.
- Coordinate with customers, engineering teams and production to clarify technical requirements.
- Support the preparation of Bills of Materials — BOM.
- Support nesting, cutting, drilling, welding and assembly preparation.
- Ensure that manufacturing documentation is clear, complete and suitable for shop-floor execution.
- Support production teams during fabrication by clarifying drawings and technical requirements.
- Assist with technical change control and revision management.
- Review tolerances, material grades, profiles, tubes, plates and structural components.
- Support continuous improvement in technical preparation, production flow and reduction of rework.
