About F.G. Haggerty Company

Since 1979, F.G. Haggerty Company has been a leading mechanical contractor serving clients throughout the Texoma area. We have built our reputation as one of the most trusted and respected names in the industry by tackling the most challenging projects and getting the tough jobs done. Our core services include Project Management, HVAC, Plumbing/Piping, Process Piping, and 3D BIM. We achieve exceptional quality by leveraging state-of-the-art technologies and equipment.

Role Summary and Strategic Impact

The Fabrication Detailer is responsible for converting coordinated piping layouts, approved construction documents, and project information into accurate, fabrication-ready spool drawings for the F.G. Haggerty fabrication shop. The primary focus of this role is producing clear and complete spools that give shop personnel the dimensions, materials, fittings, weld information, piece marks, and other details required to fabricate piping assemblies accurately and efficiently.

The Fabrication Detailer works closely with the Fabrication Production Manager, BIM/detailing team, Project Managers, and fabrication personnel to resolve discrepancies before release, maintain revision control, and keep spool production aligned with project priorities and shop schedules.

Core Responsibilities

I. Spool Drawing Production

• Produce accurate fabrication spool drawings from coordinated Revit/BIM models, approved shop drawings, isometrics, or contractor-provided spool sheets.
• Break piping systems into logical, shop-fabricable spool assemblies based on fabrication capabilities, handling and shipping limitations, installation sequencing, and project requirements.
• Include all information required for fabrication, including dimensions, pipe and fitting sizes, flanges, valves, weld locations, cut lengths, piece marks, elevations or coordinates, and connection points.
• Generate and maintain spool packages, bills of material, cut lists, and other fabrication data required for release to the shop.

II. Fabrication Coordination

• Review spool drawings with the Fabrication Production Manager and shop personnel to confirm constructability, practical fit-up, and efficient fabrication sequencing.
• Coordinate with the BIM/detailing team, Project Managers, and field personnel to resolve missing dimensions, conflicts, material questions, and design revisions before fabrication.
• Incorporate shop feedback and fabrication constraints into spool drawings to reduce rework, fit-up issues, material waste, and fabrication delays.
• Prioritize spool production based on shop schedules, field need dates, material availability, and overall project priorities.

III. Documentation & Quality Assurance

• Verify each spool drawing against the coordinated model and approved project documents before it is released for fabrication.
• Check dimensions, materials, fitting types, end connections, weld locations, cut lengths, and piece marks for accuracy and completeness.
• Maintain revision control, clearly identify revised spools, and help prevent obsolete fabrication documents from being used in the shop.
• Organize and maintain fabrication drawings, spool logs, bills of material, and digital files to support traceability and production status tracking.

IV. Software, Standards & Process Improvement

• Use Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, ProCAM, Bluebeam, and related fabrication software as required to create, review, and issue fabrication documentation.
• Follow company spool standards, naming conventions, drawing templates, file organization, and release procedures.
• Support development of standardized fabrication libraries, spool templates, and detailing workflows that improve speed, consistency, and accuracy.
• Maintain practical knowledge of shop equipment, fabrication capabilities, piping standards, fitting takeouts, joining methods, and field installation requirements to improve detailing quality.

Required Qualifications and Competencies

• Experience: 3+ years of experience in pipe detailing, fabrication detailing, mechanical drafting, pipefitting, or a related mechanical construction role preferred. Direct experience producing fabrication spools or working with a pipe fabrication shop is highly desirable.
• Technical Proficiency: Proficiency with Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, ProCAM, and related fabrication or BIM software. Ability to interpret coordinated models, construction drawings, and specifications and convert them into accurate fabrication spools. Working knowledge of bills of material, cut lists, drafting principles, and fabrication documentation. Familiarity with ACC/BIM 360, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office preferred.
• Industry Knowledge: Strong understanding of commercial plumbing, mechanical piping, and process piping systems. Working knowledge of pipe sizes and schedules, fittings, flanges, valves, joining methods, fitting takeouts, fabrication sequencing, and field installation practices. Familiarity with pipe fabrication and prefabrication workflows and project documentation standards.
• Education: High School Diploma or GED. Associate or Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering Technology, Drafting, Architecture, or a related field preferred. Equivalent combination of education and relevant work experience may be considered.
• Key Traits: Exceptional attention to detail and a production-minded approach to drawing accuracy. Strong organization and time management with the ability to manage a high volume of spools across multiple projects. Effective communication skills and the judgment to resolve questions before release. Accountable for spool accuracy, release dates, and continuous improvement of fabrication efficiency and quality.

Compensation and Benefits (Wichita Falls, TX)

• Base Salary Range: $70,000 - $90,000
• Benefits: Competitive benefits package includes Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance, a 401(k)-retirement plan (with company matching), paid holidays, and a generous Paid Time Off (PTO) policy.
