Structural Steel Fabrication Engineer - Tekla Shop Drawings

OVERVIEW I am a structural steel and fabrication engineer, not just a CAD drafter. I specialize in delivering fabrication-ready structural steel models and drawings, including Tekla models, GA drawings, shop drawings, and material take-offs — all prepared for real workshop and site use. With 15+ years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, steel fabrication, QC inspection, and production management, I understand not only how to design, but how steel structures are actually fabricated, delivered, and erected. Typical services I provide: • Structural steel modeling (fabrication-ready) • General Arrangement (GA) drawings • Shop / fabrication drawings • Material Take-Off (MTO / BOM) • Drawing revisions and as-built updates Tools and workflow I use (depending on project needs): • Tekla Structures – fabrication-level modeling, GA, shop drawings, MTO • AutoCAD / AutoCAD Mechanical – detailing, coordination, markups • SolidWorks – custom steel components and assemblies • Autodesk Inventor – mechanical parts and special fabrication details • STAAD – structural analysis reference and design verification Clients hire me for fabrication-ready drawings that reduce RFIs, rework, and site issues, with clear communication and reliable delivery.
