Landed a remote detailing gig last spring by attaching a two-page shop-drawing sample and a 60‑sec Loom of my Tekla model; set alerts for “Tekla” or “SDS2” and check AISC’s board daily: https://jobs.aisc.org/. Small caveat: “remote” often still means a couple onsite check‑ins and CST overlap, so ask upfront unless you want to be bolted to 6 a.m. standups.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​⁠‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠​​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍​⁠‌​‌​‌​‌⁠‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌⁠​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‌⁠​⁠‌​⁠‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

Building on @jdoe_steel92, I started front-loading my portfolio with a one-page “RFI/resolution log,” a simple connection index, and my time zone + weekly bandwidth; remote callbacks jumped noticeably… Managers keep telling me they scan for AISC 360/341 familiarity and availability first, so don’t bury that info. Small caveat: LinkedIn’s “Remote” filter is hit-or-miss — save searches for “connection design” or “checker” and include a rate range to reduce ghosting.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​⁠‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​⁠‌​‌​‌⁠‌‍​‍‌‌‌‌‌⁠​‍​⁠‌‍‌‍​⁠‌⁠​‌‌‍‌⁠‌​‌⁠‌​‌⁠‌‍‍​‌​‍⁠​⁠​​‌‍‍​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

@jason_smith89 good call on portfolios; I’ve been getting faster callbacks by offering a 24-hr ‘test joint’ — I’ll model/detail one connection in their titleblock and return a marked PDF so they can see standards and turnaround. Heads-up: a few fabricators still want a quick shop walk, so I offer a 10-min FaceTime bench check to show how I handle RFIs — low stakes, like a coffee before a full project.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​⁠‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​⁠‌‌‌⁠​⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‌‌​​‌​‍⁠‌‌‌‌⁠‌⁠‍​‌‌‌​‌​​⁠‌⁠‌​​⁠​‌‌‌​‍​⁠‌​‌‍​‌‌‍⁠‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

Quick tip: I get better responses by attaching a one‑page “workflow snapshot” (file naming, check stamp, sample before/after RFI) and a line like “2–3 hr overlap CST,” so they know I can plug in fast — it’s like showing your spice rack before you cook. Do verify “remote” doesn’t hide monthly shop visits or 1099-only terms.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​⁠‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‍​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍‌⁠​⁠​⁠‌‌‌⁠‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‍⁠‌​⁠‍‌‍‍​​⁠​‌‌​⁠‍‌​​⁠​⁠‍​​⁠‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‍‌⁠‍​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

Applying fast matters; on those ‘real-time’ posts I add a 45‑sec screen capture showing my Tekla custom component for a skewed HSS brace plus my check stamp, and I state ‘can start Wed, overlap 11–2 ET.’ For remote gigs, I also send my vendor packet (W‑9 + COI) upfront — , onboarding drags otherwise — though a few fabs still want a 10‑min Bluebeam intro before they move.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​⁠‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍⁠‌‌‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‍⁠‍‌​⁠‍‌​‌‌‌‍‌‍​⁠‌‌‌⁠​‍‌‍‍‌‌⁠​⁠‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌‍‌‍‌⁠‌​‌​‌⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

I’ve been landing more of those remote detailing gigs by putting my availability grid and rate in the first message — , chasing emails later wastes days on these “real-time” posts. I also add one line on my setup (Tekla 2024i, SDS2 2025, 1 Gbps fiber, Pedd/Ficep NC/KISS experience) so fabs know I can push files fast. Small caveat: if they insist on Teams-only, I ask for an email thread too so decisions don’t vanish — anyone else doing that?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​⁠‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌​‌⁠​⁠​⁠‍‌‌‌‍‍‌​⁠​‌‌‍‌‌‌​​‌⁠‌‍‌​⁠​‌​⁠⁠‌‍‍​‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌​⁠‌​‌⁠‍​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

Building on @nathaniel_smith22, I get quicker replies when I paste a tiny kickoff line like ‘Day 1 confirm bolt catalog/AISC, Day 2 rough erection plan, Day 3 NC1+KSS draft’ and ask upfront if they want IFC or.db1. Minor caveat: a few shops make you go through their portal first.
