Detaling Engineer – Events Jobs in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at Jobs for Humanity

• Compensation: SAR 6,000 – SAR 7,000 – monthly

Company Description

A premier Saudi Arabian entertainment and hospitality company owned by the PIF. Was founded in 1997 as the nation’s first athlete representation agency, has now evolved into a global developer of iconic destinations and spectacular live experiences.

Job Description

The Detailing Engineer sits within SELA’s fabrication and production workshop, converting design concepts, 3D renders, and structural/architectural drawings into fully dimensioned, buildable shop drawings for event sets, exhibition stands, scenic elements, staging, and structures. He/she is the technical bridge between the Design department and the Workshop floor, ensuring every fabricated piece is engineered for accuracy, material efficiency, structural integrity, and safe rigging/installation before a single cut is made.

This is a detail‑critical, deadline‑driven role requiring strong CAD/3D modeling skills combined with practical knowledge of fabrication methods used in live events.

Key Responsibilities

Detailing & Technical Drawing

• Shop Drawing Production:
  Convert approved concept designs, 3D renders, and architectural drawings into detailed 2D fabrication drawings and cutting lists for carpentry, metalwork, and scenic elements.
• 3D Modeling:
  Build accurate 3D models (AutoCAD, Sketch Up, Tekla, Solidworks, or equivalent) of sets, stands, and structures to validate dimensions, tolerances, and assembly sequence prior to production.
• Material & BOQ Take‑off:
  Generate precise bills of quantities and cut lists for timber, steel, aluminum, MDF, acrylic, and other fabrication materials to minimize wastage and support accurate procurement.
• Structural Detailing:
  Detail load‑bearing elements, connections, weld points, and fixings for platforms, trusses, staging, and rigging points, ensuring designs are structurally sound and code‑compliant.
• Clash Detection:
  Cross‑check drawings against MEP, AV, lighting, and rigging layouts to identify and resolve clashes before fabrication begins.

Production Support & Coordination

• Workshop Liaison:
  Work directly with the Installation Team Leader, carpenters, welders, and fabricators to clarify drawings, resolve on‑shop‑floor queries, and update details based on practical build constraints.
• Design Liaison:
  Coordinate with Designers and Project Managers to confirm design intent, obtain approvals on technical revisions, and communicate any design changes required for buildability.
• As‑Built Updates:
  Revise and reissue drawings to reflect on‑site or in‑workshop modifications, maintaining an accurate as‑built record for each project.
• CNC & Machine Files:
  Prepare CNC cutting/routing files and machine‑ready outputs where applicable, to streamline pre‑fabrication in the workshop.

Quality & Compliance

• Design Validation:
  Verify that all detailed drawings meet client specifications, structural safety margins, and applicable Saudi building and event safety codes.
• Documentation Control:
  Maintain organized, version‑controlled drawing registers and issue drawings through proper revision and approval workflows.
• Continuous Improvement:
  Identify recurring detailing issues or fabrication inefficiencies and recommend standardized details, templates, or jigs to improve workshop throughput.

Qualifications

Qualifications & Skills

• Education:

  Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Mechanical/Civil/Structural Engineering, Architecture, Industrial Design, or a related technical field.

• Experience:

  3+ years of detailing/drafting experience in event production, exhibition stand fabrication, scenic/theatrical construction, steel detailing, or a similar workshop‑based manufacturing environment.

• Software Proficiency:
  Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and Sketch Up; working knowledge of Tekla Structures, Solidworks, Rhino, or 3ds Max is an advantage.
• Technical Knowledge:
  Strong understanding of carpentry, metalwork, rigging, and structural connections, along with material properties and fabrication tolerances.
• Standards Awareness:
  Familiarity with structural safety margins, load calculations, and relevant Saudi/international codes applicable to temporary event structures.
• Soft Skills:

  High attention to detail, strong spatial visualization, ability to work under pressure against tight production deadlines, and clear communication with both design and shop‑floor teams.

Typical Working Conditions

• Environment:
  Must be able to work in a workshop environment, which may include loud noise, dust, and heat, with some on‑site installation work.
• Hours:

  May require working evenings, weekends, and holidays to meet event deadlines.

• Physical Requirements:

  Ability to work in a fast‑paced environment and handle tight deadlines and to work on site, which may include lifting, standing for long periods, and working in varied conditions.
