  • Produce submittal packages, including erection plans, shop drawings, material lists, and NC data, on the schedule committed to Project Management.
  • Maintain model integrity in Tekla Structures so material lists, CNC/DSTV fabrication data, and drawing output are accurate.
  • Incorporate field-verified dimensions and coordinate interfaces with adjacent trades and the structural steel package.
  • Communicate with customers, architects, and general contractors to coordinate details and resolve problems.
