Detaling Engineer - Events

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. 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 1. 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, SketchUp, 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. 2.
