Senior Tekla Detailer in Salford

Full-time | Permanent | Manchester based (hybrid considered)

Oakwood Engineering Solutions is a specialist structural steel detailing and digital engineering business with established Tekla teams in the UK, Poland, and Romania. We work closely with UK fabricators on complex projects, producing clear, buildable Tekla models and drawings that stand up in fabrication and on site.

The role

• Produce high-quality Tekla models and drawings for structural steel projects
• Manage your own packages from initial modelling through to fabrication and erection support
• Liaise directly with internal team members, fabricators, and engineers
• Work collaboratively with the wider Tekla team to deliver coordinated project outputs
• Help identify and resolve buildability issues early
• Work to agreed programmes and quality standards without constant supervision

This is not a production-line role. We value accuracy, clarity, and doing things properly.

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience using Tekla Structures in a structural steel environment
• A solid understanding of fabrication, connections, and site constraints
• Confidence running your own work and communicating clearly
• Project-running experience is desirable but not essential for the right candidate
• A practical, reliable approach and professionalın

Development and progression

• Opportunity to work on a range of complex bridge and building structures
• Support and mentoring available for candidates looking to develop bridge detailing experience
• Scope to broaden technical capability and responsibility over time, based on aptitude and interest

What we offer

• Competitive salary, based on experience and capability
• Company pension
• A stable workload, realistic expectations, and a supportive working environment

Progression without corporate nonsense or box‑ticking
