In this role, you will lead the configuration of projects in Tekla (or similar software packages), establishing the databases, libraries, templates, and workflows that standardize how Mariana models and drafts structural steel. You will develop 3D models and produce the general arrangement, fabrication, and erection drawings that take designs from concept to construction-ready. You will define how third-party models, vendor drawings, and EPC deliverables integrate into Mariana’s hosted Tekla environment, ensuring quality and consistency across partners. This is a hands-on design role with the opportunity to shape best practices and tooling as Mariana scales its project delivery.

We never put speed or cost ahead of people. Extreme Ownership. We take full responsibility for outcomes, relentlessly driving toward solutions. Engineer Out Requirements, then Automate. We simplify, optimize, and then automate for scale. Share Your Legos. We collaborate openly, share knowledge, and empower each other to build bigger, better solutions.
