Build What Actually Gets Installed

At VIATechnik, we don't just model systems-we help bring them to life. We're looking for a BIM Detailer who can turn coordinated models into fabrication-ready drawings that drive real-world installation for complex mechanical and plumbing systems.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role where your work directly influences how projects are built-down to the spool, the cut, and the install.

What You'll Do

You’ll take ownership of transforming coordinated BIM models into clear, accurate, installer-ready deliverables, including:

• Creating spool drawings, fabrication packages, and installation details that fabrication and field teams can execute with confidence
• Ensuring model accuracy, constructability, and coordination across systems
• Supporting project teams to keep detailing aligned with fabrication and construction schedules
• Identifying and resolving issues early to reduce rework and keep projects moving

The Impact You'll Make

In this role, your success means:

• Fabrication teams can build with minimal revisions
• Field teams install with clarity and confidence
• Projects stay on schedule with fewer coordination issues
• BIM becomes a true driver of execution-not just design

Why This Role is a Career Move

This is more than a detailing role- it's a chance to grow into a high-level BIM fabrication expert.

You’ll gain:

• Exposure to advanced BIM workflows and manufacturing-driven construction
• Experience working across project management, coordination, and field teams
• Opportunities to work on large-scale, complex systems
• A pathway into digital construction, automation, and AI-enabled BIM tools
• If you want to deepen your technical expertise and see your work directly impact real-world builds, this is the place.

What You Bring

We're looking for someone who combines technical BIM skills with real-world trade understanding:

• Experience producing mechanical and/or plumbing BIM drawings
• Strong understanding of constructability and installation practices
• Ability to create clear, detailed fabrication and spool drawings
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, multi-project environment
• Strong communication skills across office and field teams

Bonus if you:

• Have experience supporting fabrication workflows or manufacturing environments
• Are curious about automation, AI tools, or digital construction innovation

Compensation and featured benefits:

• The pay for this position is $65,000 – $80,000, and the role is eligible for bonuses. The actual salary offer may be different as we carefully consider a wide range of factors, including your skills, qualifications, location, and experience
• Health insurance with the choice of five plan options. We cover 70-95% of premiums for VIATechies and 65% of the premiums for dependents (depending on the plan chosen)
• Dental and vision insurance. We cover up to 75% of the monthly insurance premiums for VIATechies and up to 50% of the premiums for dependents (depending on the plans chosen)
• Open and flexible time off
• A 401(k) plan that is fully vested immediately
• Home office setup costs
• Paid holidays

As a minority and woman owned and led company, VIATechnik seeks to build a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. VIATechnik is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment.
