Oakwood is not a design office. We don’t create the original concepts or take on design responsibility. What we do is equally vital — we take the engineer’s or architect’s design information and turn it into accurate, buildable 3D models and fabrication drawings.
As an Apprentice Steel Detailer, you’ll be trained in:
Developing 3D models of steel structures based on supplied design information
Producing fabrication and assembly drawings that fabricators and site teams rely on
Identifying missing details and resolving buildability issues through clear communication
Coordinating with fabricators and contractors so everything fits on site
Breaking down complex designs into thousands of precise parts and packages
You’ll be the link between the design and the build — making sure that what’s on paper can actually be manufactured and assembled in the real world
Training:
2 ½ Year Apprenticeship Programme
Design Technician, Knowledge, skills & Behaviours – delivered in the workplace
Level 3 BTEC in Construction and the Built Environment - Day Release or Remote Delivery (Optional qualification)
Specialist Training Programme Blocks of your choice

On-the-job mentoring from Oakwood’s senior detailers
Real project experience from day one
Training Outcome:
Once you have completed your apprenticeship, you will have the chance to work as a qualified Structural Detailer.
