About The Position

At Haskell, the Senior VDC Piping Detailer converts P&IDs, design documents, and engineering intent into accurate pipe fabrication drawings, assembly sheets, spool drawings, and coordinated bills of materials. The position primarily supports industrial projects, including water and wastewater, manufacturing, and mission-critical work. Remote team members are welcome; employees located near a Haskell office are encouraged to integrate with the team and company culture. The role also supports other self-perform detailing scopes and VDC services as needed, including visualization, 3D modeling, coordination, estimating, laser scanning, digital layout, drone work, and subsurface utility engineering. The detailer helps research and implement solutions to improve efficiency, travels as required, and performs other duties as assigned.

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.
10+ years of relevant AEC industry pipe-detailing experience.
Demonstrated experience with mechanical, plumbing, or process mechanical piping design; subcontractor detailing is preferred.
Proficiency with BIM tools Revit and AutoCAD Plant3D.
Understanding of project workflows, including schematic design, design development, construction documentation, and project management.
Understanding of the needs of delivery team members, including architects, engineers, estimators, project managers, and field staff.
Strong understanding of piping materials, including PVC, HDPE, ductile iron, stainless steel, carbon steel, grooved, and flanged systems.
Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, process flow diagrams, civil/site plans, and structural drawings.
Clear understanding of fabrication sequencing, field installation constraints, and as-built workflows.
Strong communication skills and ability to work with distributed teams.
High attention to detail, accuracy, and model organization.
Experience with wastewater or water treatment process piping.
Experience generating shop drawings for self-perform crews.
Familiarity with Navisworks and clash coordination.
