About The Position

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 role primarily supports industrial projects, including water and wastewater, manufacturing, and mission-critical work. Remote team members are welcome; those located near a Haskell office are encouraged to work with the local team and participate in the company culture. The position collaborates with project managers, field superintendents, fabrication shops, and the VDC team, while coordinating piping with structural, equipment, and other trades. It also contributes to internal detailing standards and may assist with other self-perform detailing scopes and VDC services. Travel is required as needed.
