Director of Detailing & Technical Delivery

Location: Las Vegas, NV (On-site)

Type: Full-Time

Department: Detailing/ Operations

🏆 Recognized by the Las Vegas Review-Journal as one of Nevada’s Top Workplaces

Steelhead is looking for a senior, results-driven Director of Detailing & Technical Delivery to lead and scale our detailing function as we grow. This role owns the speed, accuracy, and scalability of all detailing and technical deliverables. You will lead the systems, people, and priorities that ensure detailing never becomes a bottleneck to production, margin, or delivery.

This is a leadership role for someone who thrives in high-volume environments, values standardization and reuse, and knows how to turn complexity into repeatable systems.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and scale the Detailing and Technical Delivery team, ensuring accountability, quality, and predictable throughput


• Own detailing intake, prioritization, and release discipline in alignment with PMO schedules and production needs


• Build and enforce standardized detailing systems, assemblies, and methods to maximize reuse and efficiency


• Define and uphold fabrication-ready release standards to reduce rework and downstream disruption


• Forecast demand and manage capacity to maintain delivery speed without linear headcount growth


• Partner cross-functionally with PMO, Production, Creative, Graphics, and Warehouse teams to align execution


• Develop and coach detailing leaders and team members, reducing reliance on individual hero performers


• Drive continuous improvement through process refinement, tooling enhancements, and automation


• Serve as a senior leader within the Operations and Leadership teams, with authority to prioritize and simplify

What We’re Looking For

• Proven leadership experience in detailing, technical delivery, production, or fabrication-driven environments


• Strong background in CAD-based detailing workflows, ideally within exhibits, events, fabrication, or manufacturing


• A systems thinker who values speed, reuse, and predictability over bespoke solutions


• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven operation


• Experience scaling teams and output through process, standards, and tooling, not just headcount


• Strong communicator with the confidence to say no, simplify scope, and enforce priorities


• Proficiency with Autodesk tools, Adobe, and Office 365; experience with ERP or production systems is a plus


• Flexible schedule as needed to support production and delivery timelines

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

• Combination of office and production shop environment


• Extended periods of computer-based work


• Occasional time spent in shop, warehouse, or production settings


• Ability to move through active workspaces and engage with fabrication teams


• Exposure to noise, dust, heat, and moving equipment in production areas

What Sets Us Apart:

• Top Workplace Recognition: We’re not just saying we’re a great place to work - it’s been officially recognized
  


• We Rent, You Create: Our clients don’t buy exhibits. They rent. That means less rinse and repeat, and more room for bold, fresh ideas
  


• Design-Obsessed Culture: No creative silos. No ego wars. Just a team of high-performers who geek out on pushing boundaries
  


• Visible, Valued, and Supported: You won’t get lost in the machine. You’ll be seen, supported, and celebrated
  


• Creative Variety: Work with a range of world-class brands across multiple industries and events

How We Support You

• Healthcare coverage (medical, dental, vision, voluntary plans, EAP)


• 401(k) with company matching


• Flexible Time Off (FTO), PTO for sick leave, and paid company holidays


• Professional development budget for training and continued education

We Celebrate You, Just as You Are.
