Electrical Construction Detailer

Gaston Electrical Co.•Norwood, MA

About The Position

Gaston Electrical is seeking an experienced Electrical Construction Detailer with a strong electrical construction background to bridge engineering design and field installation. The role reviews engineering drawings, develops constructability solutions, identifies prefabrication opportunities, uses Bluebeam to create field-driven markups, and helps define project means and methods. These markups and concepts are translated into coordinated Revit models by BIM/VDC teams. The Detailer is a key point of contact throughout the project lifecycle, supporting alignment between design, prefabrication, and field execution. The position develops project-specific electrical means and methods strategies to improve safety, productivity, quality, and schedule performance. It evaluates designs and field conditions to determine efficient installation approaches, creates installation plans, establishes installation practices and prefab assemblies, supports logistics planning, and drives continuous improvement in constructability and labor productivity. The listed compensation range is $95,000–$161,000, and the position is bonus eligible.

Requirements

Experience as an Electrician, Lead Electrician, Foreman, General Foreman, Superintendent, or related electrical construction leader.
Ability to read and interpret electrical plans, specifications, one-line diagrams, and shop drawings.
Strong understanding of field installation methods and electrical construction best practices.
Experience identifying and implementing prefabrication opportunities.

Nice To Haves

Proficiency with Bluebeam Revu for construction markups, constructability reviews, and detailing.
Experience with Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, and BIM/VDC coordination workflows.
Experience with electrical prefabrication and manufacturing processes.

Responsibilities

Use Bluebeam Revu to create constructability markups, installation layouts, routing recommendations, and field-driven solutions.
Review engineering drawings and specifications for constructability, efficiency, and code compliance.
Provide markups communicating installation intent to BIM Coordinators and project teams.
Work with BIM Coordinators and VDC teams to translate markups into coordinated Revit models.
Participate in coordination and clash-detection meetings.
Develop prefab drawings, spool sheets, assembly packages, and installation details for production.
Identify and maximize electrical prefabrication opportunities throughout the project lifecycle.
Coordinate with the prefabrication shop to ensure assemblies are accurately detailed and manufactured.
Serve as a point of contact among field operations, BIM teams, project management, and prefabrication.
Provide constructability guidance and technical support during project execution.
Develop and lead project-specific electrical means and methods strategies to improve safety, productivity, quality, and schedule performance.
Evaluate engineered designs and determine efficient installation approaches based on field conditions, manpower, access constraints, and project sequencing.
Create installation plans that support labor efficiency and maximize prefabrication.
Establish standard installation practices and prefab assemblies for consistent use across projects.
Collaborate with Project Managers, Superintendents, General Foremen, and field teams on execution plans and work packaging.
Identify opportunities to reduce field labor through modularization, off-site fabrication, and advanced planning.
Assist in developing material flow and logistics plans.
Ensure BIM models, prefab drawings, and field installation packages reflect approved means and methods.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on constructability, labor productivity, and operational excellence.
