Technical Client Coordinator - Structural Steel Detailing

About The Role

- We are seeking a Technical Client Coordinator with hands-on structural steel detailing experience to join our team in Calgary. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining technical expertise with client communication.

- You will also serve as the technical connection between clients and the detailing team, ensuring projects move efficiently while maintaining quality and accuracy.

Key Responsibilities

- Review and interpret structural steel detailing drawings and models, including shop drawings, erection drawings, and connection details.

- Communicate directly with clients to understand questions, feedback, and revision requests.

- Complete minor drawing/model revisions when required, including dimension updates, note changes, and small adjustments.

- Translate client feedback into clear instructions for detailing teams.

- Act as the technical point of contact during client meetings (virtual and in-person).





- Perform quality reviews of completed drawings before client delivery.

- Support the development and improvement of change request and revision processes.

- Coordinate with technical teams across different time zones when required.

Qualifications & Experience

- 3+ years of hands-on experience in structural steel detailing or a related drafting/coordination role.

- Strong ability to interpret shop drawings, erection drawings, and structural details.

- Experience communicating directly with clients, engineers, fabricators, or contractors.

- Solid attention to detail with proven QA/QC habits.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

- Ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).

- AutoCAD experience (2D drafting/markup).

- Advance Steel experience.

- Familiarity with model viewing tools such as Trimble Connect, Tekla Model Viewer, or Navisworks.

- Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities.

- Comfortable participating in occasional early morning coordination calls with global teams.
