About This Role
The Federal Programs Detailer is responsible for the technical execution, coordination, and compliance review of federal and government projects from award through release for ordering. This role serves as a critical control point within the project lifecycle, ensuring openings, hardware, specifications, submittits, and scope presentations align with contract requirements, code compliance, operational execution, and overall project risk management expectations. This individual operates as the final technical review point before scope is formally presented to the customer, general contractor, or project team. The role requires strong specification interpretation, contract awareness, Comsense processing capabilities, and the ability to identify execution, compliance, coordination, and scope-related risks prior to release. The Federal Programs Detailer works closely with Project Management, Estimating, Operations, and Sales to support successful federal project execution while maintaining alignment with company standards, contract requirements, and customer expectations.
This is a role for someone who takes genuine pride in precision: a subject-matter expert who catches specification conflicts before they become field problems and produces submittals that hold up to scrutiny from architects and general contractors.

Requirements

• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in a technical, engineering, architecture, or construction-related field preferred; equivalent hands-on experience considered
• 2 to 4 years of experience in detailing, estimating, project coordination, or specification work within the commercial construction or building materials industry
• Applied knowledge of door, frame, and hardware types, manufacturer product lines, and how components interact in a complete opening assembly
• Working knowledge of UL listings, fire and smoke ratings, ADA requirements, life safety standards, and commercial building code as applied to openings
• Proficiency in company-issued detailing and scheduling software and Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel, Word, and Outlook; CAD experience a plus
• Precise quantitative skills for cost entry, reconciliation, and quantity verification across project documents
• A track record of producing accurate, detailed work products with low error rates and strong attention to specification compliance
• The ability to manage multiple active projects simultaneously without sacrificing accuracy or missing documentation deadlines
• Ability to read and interpret architectural plans, construction documents, and written specifications accurately and independently
• Methodical approach to problem-solving: you check your work, follow the process, and flag issues before they escalate

Nice To Haves

• CAD experience a plus

Responsibilities

• Review sales sheets, job requirements, and contract documents, including purchase orders, architectural plans, specifications, and addenda, to establish accurate opening quantities and product requirements for each project
• Accurately detail and schedule all door, frame, and hardware materials, verifying product costs against estimates and documenting variances throughout the scheduling process
• Determine product selections based on specification requirements, project scope, cost targets, and applicable code standards
• Verify that all products and assemblies meet applicable code requirements, including UL listings, fire and smoke ratings, ADA compliance, life safety standards, and local building code
• Prepare shop drawings, schedules, and submittals using manufacturer catalog cuts and company-issued software
• Prepare elevation drawings and corresponding sections as necessary using company-issued CAD or detailing software
• Write clear technical notes identifying issues, required verifications, or items requiring instruction by the GC or architect during the submittal process
• Review completed schedules and submittals for errors prior to release; update and resubmit as required upon return
• Maintain organized, accurate project files throughout the lifecycle of each assignment

Benefits

• Health, dental, vision, prescription coverage, life insurance, and 401(k) with company match.
• Generous paid time off for rest, family, and self-care.
