Technical Draughtsman – Steel Construction

Function

As a Steel Construction Technical Draughtsman, you will be part of the project team and will translate technical designs into detailed, workable 3D models and drawings. In doing so, you will take into account not only the design, but also production, transport and assembly.

• You will model complex steel structures in 3D using Tekla.
• You will draw up detailed workshop drawings and production lists.
• You prepare orders for materials based on the technical drawings.
• When drawing up the plans, you must take into account the chosen method of transport and assembly.
• You’ll contribute ideas on the practical feasibility of steel structures.
• Among other things, you will monitor the accessibility of connections, technical reliability and appropriate welding details.
• You check models and drawings for accuracy and quality.
• When drafting work is outsourced, you monitor the progress and quality of external drafting partners.
• You’ll liaise regularly with project management, engineering, production and other relevant colleagues.
• As a Steel Construction Technical Draughtsman, you will help to ensure the smooth preparation and execution of large-scale steel construction projects.

Organisation

You will be joining a well-established Belgian company specialising in complex steel construction and large-scale infrastructure projects. From its base in the Ghent region, the company designs, plans and builds impressive steel structures for projects both at home and abroad.

The organisation combines engineering, technical preparation, production and project delivery. The projects include, amongst other things, large steel structures and infrastructure applications where bespoke solutions, technical complexity and high-quality standards are key. As a result, you won’t be doing repetitive drafting work, but working on structures that differ in terms of both technical specifications and project requirements each time.

You will be working as part of an experienced technical team and will have the opportunity to help build projects that will remain, quite literally, visible after completion.

Offer

As a Steel Construction Technical Draughtsman, you will receive an attractive remuneration package based on your qualifications and experience. In addition, there is a strong focus on training, technical development and career progression opportunities.

• An attractive gross salary commensurate with your experience and technical knowledge.
• A comprehensive package of non-statutory benefits in accordance with the current remuneration policy.
• 38 days’ holiday per year.
• Collective construction industry holiday during the summer and winter periods.
