A Structural Designer produces detailed drawings and models of buildings, bridges, and other structures, translating engineers' calculations into buildable plans using AutoCAD and Revit. They handle structural detailing of beams, columns, foundations, and connections while ensuring every design complies with local building codes. Most come from a drafting or civil/structural engineering technology background and work closely with structural engineers and architects, often relying on 3D modeling to catch clashes before construction begins.
