Location: Any Exact office or remote

Company Summary

Exact Detailing Ltd. began in a cottage in Victoria, BC in 2008. Today we have more than 200 detailing and coordination professionals across seven offices, and we model and detail the structural steel and mass timber behind hyperscale data centres, transit infrastructure, stadiums and arenas across North America, Australia and Europe. Most of our work comes from clients who have worked with us before, and checking is a big reason they come back. We’re looking for a Steel Detailing Checking Manager to lead that function.

You’ll also stay hands-on, reviewing Tekla models, connections and shop drawings against CISC, AISC and client requirements. If you have spent years making sure steel fits the first time and you’re ready to set that standard for an entire team, we’d like to talk. This role can be based at any of our offices or remote.
