Spool Modeler: Mechanical Piping Prefabrication & Detailing

Paulson-Cheek Mechanical, Inc; Norcross (GA); On-site; USD 65,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

Paulson-Cheek Mechanical, Inc. in Norcross, GA is seeking an experienced Mechanical Piping Prefabrication / Spool Modeler to develop precise spool drawings and fabrication documents for commercial and industrial piping systems.

You will work with Engineering, BIM/VDC, fabrication and field teams to ensure dimensional accuracy, constructability, and efficient shop production, using Revit and spool software. This role requires full spooling workflow knowledge and the ability to coordinate with

Qualifications

• Experience producing mechanical piping prefabrication and spool packages.
• Experience with the complete piping spooling workflow, including coordination, spool breakout, detailing, and fabrication-ready drawing production.
• Experience in a commercial or industrial mechanical contracting environment.
• Strong knowledge of mechanical piping materials, fittings, weld symbols, fabrication processes, installation sequencing, and constructability.

Responsibilities

• Produce accurate mechanical piping spool drawings, including isometrics, weld information, cut lists, bills of material, dimensions, annotations, and other fabrication details.
• Break down coordinated piping systems into efficient, constructible, fabrication-ready spool sections.
• Develop complete prefabrication packages from coordinated piping models and construction documentation.
• Validate weld sequences, fitting orientation, tolerances, dimensions, connections, and specialty component requirements.
• Generate detailed material takeoffs for pipe, fittings, valves, supports, and specialty items.
• Utilize Autodesk Revit and mechanical piping fabrication/spooling software to develop, validate, and maintain piping models and spool drawings.
• Participate in the spooling process from initial model coordination through final fabrication documentation.
• Implement model updates resulting from RFIs, design revisions, field changes, and coordination requirements.
• Maintain accurate project documentation throughout all prefabrication stages.
• Identify and assist in resolving model coordination and constructability issues before fabrication.
• Coordinate with welders, fitters, fabrication personnel, Engineering, BIM/VDC, and field teams to resolve fabrication issues or design deviations.
• Verify dimensional accuracy and spool buildability to minimize shop errors and field rework.
• Work with fabrication personnel to address issues encountered during welding and fabrication.
• Support continuous improvement of PCM's mechanical piping prefabrication and spool-production processes.
• Review spool documentation for dimensional accuracy, material specifications, weld information, and fabrication requirements.
• Support applicable internal QA/QC requirements and piping standards.
• Assist in resolving design conflicts, fabrication concerns, and field coordination issues.
