Own Technical Quality
\n- \n
- Review layouts, details, and setup instructions before release to production \n
- Provide second-opinion structural review, especially on high-value projects \n
- Set structural integrity guidelines and escalate to licensed engineering when required \n
Build the System
\n- \n
- Create and maintain standards for deliverables and build methods \n
- Develop and maintain department policies and procedures \n
- Build and run the training program for new detailers \n
Partner Across Teams
\n- \n
- Give Design feedback on build methods, materials and finishes, outsourced items, pricing, CAD systems, and project outcomes \n
- Collaborate with our build, metal, and wood fabrication departments to ensure build quality and drive continuous improvement of our products \n
What You Bring
\n- \n
- 5+ years detailing or drafting in exhibits, millwork, or custom fabrication \n
- Advanced proficiency in CAD software (E.g. Vectorworks, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar) \n
- Strong working knowledge of materials: wood, aluminum extrusion, aluminum, steel, laminates, plastics, fabric graphics \n
- Understanding of show floor realities and install and dismantle constraints \n
- Experience leading, mentoring, or reviewing the work of other detailers (preferred) \n
