Hello,

my name is José Manuel. I'm a steel detailer with high skills and experience in tekla structures and Autocad.

I'm in process to immigrate to USA as a permanent resident and I estimate that in about a year or 15 months approximately I will be living in States.

I worked for almost 3 years to the proyect department of the Dominican Oil Refinery as a draftsman; now I work for a steel structures fabricator company as a steel detailer also for the proyect department. I have 3 years working with Tekla Structures and 6 years with AutoCad.

Being honest I'm not really sure about how to introduce me into the steel detailers world in USA. I'm a little concerned about things like: best state for live and get a good work or what I need for be considered a good candidate for a steel detailer position. I'm always online seeking information about companies, salaries, vacancies, and all information that will help me to be prepared for the competitive market of the steel detailers.

I really hope someone can give some light about this subject.

José Manuel.
