Job description

VDC Spooler – Mechanical Piping / Plumbing

Location: Altavista Fabrication Hub

Company Overview

Moore's Electrical and Mechanical is a 100% employee‑owned (ESOP) commercial and industrial services company serving Virginia and North Carolina since 1985. Our mission is to build people as well as buildings-doing all things with a servant's heart and leaving a positive, lasting impact. We vision employees to say Moore's is the best place they've ever worked, our customers to receive the best service they've ever had, and our communities to be strengthened by our work. Our values-Execute, Protect, Improve, and Character-drive every job we do.

The Role

The VDC Spooler turns coordinated piping and plumbing models into clear, accurate, and buildable fabrication packages.

Based at our Altavista VDC & Fabrication Hub, this position works directly alongside our fabrication operations-connecting the model, shop, and field. As skills develop, the role will also support fabrication modeling for stands, racks, skids, and other multi-trade assemblies.

We're looking for someone who is mechanically minded, detail-oriented, and interested in how things are actually built-not just how they look on a screen.

A traditional VDC background isn't required. Strong piping, plumbing, fabrication, or field experience combined with computer aptitude can be a great fit for this role.

Working from our Altavista Fabrication Hub gives you the opportunity to see your work built, receive direct feedback from the shop and field, and help improve how work moves from model to fabrication to installation.

What You'll Do

• Create piping and plumbing spool drawings from coordinated VDC models.
• Determine practical spool breaks based on fabrication, shipping, and field installation.
• Produce BOMs, cut lists, labels, and other shop information.
• Review work for accuracy and constructability before fabrication.
• Support modeling and detailing of stands, racks, skids, and other fabrication assemblies.
• Work directly with VDC, Prefabrication, shop, and field partners to resolve issues and improve our processes.

You Bring

• Ability to read construction drawings and understand piping/plumbing systems.
• Strong mechanical and spatial aptitude with attention to detail.
• Comfortable with computers and learning VDC/BIM software.
• Good communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• Piping, plumbing, welding, fabrication, or field construction experience is a plus.
• Revit, Autodesk Fabrication, Navisworks, AutoCAD, or similar experience is a plus.

Benefits That Matter

• Weekly paychecks: $25-$35/hr. based on experience and skill set.
• 100% employee owned; earn stock and profit-sharing bonuses
• 401(k) with company match
• Health, dental, vision, short-and long-term disability and life insurance
• Supplemental medical insurance
• Paternity and maternity leave
• Paid vacation & holidays including a safety incentive plan to earn more PTO
• Paid M-Power volunteer hours to service community
• Career growth & training opportunities
