Senior Structural & Platework Detailer Engineer (Autodesk Advance Steel)

Our client is looking for a high-caliber Senior Structural & Platework Detailer (Autodesk Advance Steel) who specializes in heavy industrial structures and mining platework. This is not a corporate, slow-paced role with rigid playbooks. We are a fast-growing, dynamic startup where you will own your projects from end to end, solve complex geometry problems on the fly, and directly impact our fabrication pipeline.

If you thrive in high-autonomy environments and possess deep expertise in Autodesk Advance Steel, we want to hear from you.

This role is NOT for you if:

  • You prefer Revit or SolidWorks over Advance Steel: Our entire workflow and tech stack are built around Advance Steel. We need a specialist, not someone trying to adapt other software to our processes.
  • You only have commercial or residential steel experience: Mining platework is a different beast. If you haven't detailed chutes, hoppers, bins, or heavy launders, you will struggle with the complex geometries and wear-liner requirements of this role.
  • You need a detailed playbook for daily tasks: We operate in a fast-paced startup environment. There is no hand-holding or rigid step-by-step manual. You need to be a self-starter who figures things out, establishes best practices, and executes independently.

Schedule: Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Australian Western Standard Time with 1 hour unpaid break (40 work hours per week)

Responsibilities

  • Create highly accurate 3D models, shop drawings, and erection drawings for heavy industrial steel and mining platework using Autodesk Advance Steel.
  • Detail complex platework components including chutes, bins, hoppers, and conveyors, ensuring proper allowances for wear liners, material flow, and fabrication tolerances.
  • Generate and verify accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs), NC files, and DXF files for CNC fabrication.
  • Review client engineering drawings and identify/resolve missing information or design clashes independently.
  • Collaborate directly with the fabrication shop floor to troubleshoot issues and optimize designs for manufacturability.
  • Thrive in an evolving startup environment, helping to streamline detailing standards and workflows as we scale.
  • Head up the shop detailing function; share skills and best practices with engineers and designers.

Requirements

  • Software: Autodesk Advance Steel (expert level) & AutoCAD 3D/2D.
  • Experience: Minimum 5 years of shop detailing (modelling & detailing) with a heavy emphasis on mining platework (chutes, hoppers, materials handling, launders).
  • Standards: Proven application of Australian Standards (AS4100, AS1554, etc.).
  • Qualification: Mechanical or Structural engineering qualification (Diploma/Degree/Trade equivalent).
  • Software Mastery: Proven, extensive experience using Autodesk Advance Steel as your primary detailing tool.
  • Deep understanding of welding symbols, fabrication processes, and international steel detailing standards..
