Job summary

Haskell seeks an experienced pipe detailing specialist to convert P&IDs and design drawings into precise fabrication models, spool sheets, and BOMs for industrial projects. You will coordinate routing with multi-discipline teams and ensure QA/QC compliance throughout project lifecycles.

Proficiency in BIM (Revit, AutoCAD Plant3D) and experience with Navisworks, clash detection, and field markups are required. Remote options exist, with far better integration for on-site colleagues.

Qualifications

• Two-year Associate’s Degree in CAD/BIM-related specialization such as Construction Management, Drafting Technology, Architecture, or Mechanical/Civil Engineering.
• 10+ years of relevant experience in AEC industry pipe detailing.
• Experience with Water/Wastewater and data centers or mission critical projects is preferred.
• Proficiency with BIM (Revit and AutoCAD Plant3D) and exposure to reality capture, drone, survey and layout tools.

Responsibilities

• Translate P&IDs and design drawings into fabrication-ready pipe models and BOMs.
• Coordinate pipe routing and supports with structural, equipment, and other trades.
• Interpret engineering specs, material standards, valve schedules, and QA/QC requirements.
• Review vendor drawings, equipment submittals, and field markups.
• Collaborate with Project Managers, field superintendents, fabrication shops, and the VDC team.
• Maintain model accuracy through lifecycle changes and revisions.
• Develop internal standards, templates, and best practices for fabrication detailing.
• Support other self-perform detailing scopes (steel embeds, equipment layouts, skids).
• Support other VDC offerings: Visualization, 3D modeling, BIM coordination, estimating, laser scanning, digital layout, drone, SUE.

Job description

At Haskell, you’re not just joining a company—you’re joining a nationally recognized Top Workplace where diverse perspectives and inclusive thinking drive stronger outcomes. Whether you’re starting out, growing your expertise, or leading the way, you’ll find a culture grounded in trust, driven by excellence, and built to support your goals. Here, you’ll have the opportunity, flexibility, and sense of belonging to grow your career your way—while making a real impact.

In this role, you will convert P&IDs, design documents, and engineering intent into highly accurate pipe fabrication drawings, assembly sheets, spool drawings, and coordinated bill of materials. This role primarily focuses on industrial projects such as water/wastewater, manufacturing and mission critical. We are open to remote team members; however, if you are located near a Haskell office, we highly encourage you to integrate with the team and our company culture.

Job Responsibilities:

• Translate P&IDs, process schematics, and design drawings into detailed fabrication-ready pipe models. Produce spool sheets, cut lists, bill of materials, and fabrication isometrics with clear labeling
• Coordinate pipe routing and supports with structural, equipment, and other trades
• Interpret engineering specifications, material standards, valve schedules, and QA/QC requirements
• Review and integrate vendor drawings, equipment submittals, and field markups
• Collaborate with Project Managers, field superintendents, fabrication shops, and the VDC team
• Maintain model accuracy through project lifecycle changes and revisions
• Support the development of internal standards, templates, and best practices for fabrication detailing
• Assist other self-perform detailing scopes as needed (steel embeds, equipment layouts, skids, etc.)
• Support other VDC service offerings as needed:
  • Visualization – Renderings, animations, 4D schedule simulations, virtual reality
  • 3D Modeling – scan-to-BIM, construction detailing for trades and self-perform
  • Coordination – BIM coordination / clash detection between design disciplines, trade subcontractors, consultants, equipment vendors; coordination overlay drawings for overhead coordination, underground utilities, concrete, etc.
  • Estimating – model-based quantity takeoff of BIM design & construction models, field progress tracking, Power BI dashboarding, etc.
  • Laser Scanning – reality capture (laser scanning) of existing conditions for design and construction teams, including deviation analysis, and 360 photo viewing solutions
  • Digital Layout – survey stake-out and as-built reporting to support self-perform, and quality control of subcontractor installations
  • Drone – aerial survey / mapping of topography, overlays, and photo/video deliverables, for design team, construction teams, and marketing needs
  • SUE – subsurface utility engineering, with GPR & EM locates, combined with hydrovac excavation to identify existing utilities
• Research and implement new innovative solutions to improve efficiencies
• Travel as required
• Other duties which may be assigned as needed

Education & Years of Experience:

• Minimum of a two-year Associate’s Degree in a CAD/BIM-related specialization such as Construction Management, Drafting Technology, Architecture, or Mechanical/Civil Engineering.
