Think of steel for a moment and you probably think of frameworks for tall buildings or the hulls of huge ships. Steel is used behind the scenes in nearly any industry you can name. As a steel detailer, you translate engineering drawings and documents into detailed fabrication instructions through shop detail drawings. The shop detail drawing provides a precise picture of each steel element and how it is to be made. This picture shows how every steel component is joined, how every bolt and weld is defined and located. Each component is dimensionally defined and given an identifying mark. Essentially, each component is built on paper before it is fabricated
Where Will You Work?
As a steel detailer, you work at a steel fabrication or steel detailing company. You work an eight-hour day, five days per week, but overtime is very common. You work in an office, making occasional shop and site visits. Many of the projects are located across Canada and throughout the United States, so travel could be involved.
Starting Salary: $21,000 – 23,000/yr Senior Detailers: $48,000/yr Project Supervisors: $60,000/yr
There is a critical shortage of steel detailers in North America today. This situation is expected to exist for several years. Computer technology is enhancing the productivity of the steel detailer and is essential to his or her future.
In high school, be sure to take courses in mathematics and physics. You need one year of a college-level steel-detailing course as the minimum requirement for a junior detailer. Steel detailers can be certified by the Steel Detailers Institute of BC (SDIBC) and the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of BC (ASTTBC). There are three levels of certification: Registered Steel Detailer (RSD), Certified Steel Detailer (CSD) and Associate Steel Detailer
