About The Position

Requirements

• High school diploma or GED.
• Minimum of two years of relevant experience in mechanical or plumbing detailing, fabrication content development, pipe fabrication, or a closely related role; equivalent combinations of field, shop, technical training, and software experience will be considered.
• Working knowledge of mechanical piping and plumbing materials, fittings, valves, joining methods, and construction drawings.
• Experience using Revit fabrication parts and Autodesk Fabrication content, including ITMs, services, or profiles.
• Ability to test content systematically, diagnose discrepancies, document changes, and communicate with project and shop teams.
• Strong attention to detail and discipline to verify content before it is used on a live project.
• Ability to translate approved project requirements into a usable, consistent fabrication profile.
• Practical problem-solving skills and sound judgment about when to seek engineering, shop, or project-team input.
• Ability to manage several content requests, communicate progress, and keep clear records of revisions.
• Willingness to follow company safety requirements and department standards.
• Onsite attendance at the Ankeny, Iowa office is required.

Nice To Haves

• Post-secondary technical education in mechanical drafting, BIM/VDC, CAD/Revit, plumbing mechanical systems, or construction technology.
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining Autodesk Fabrication CADmep databases, ITM content, service templates, and project profiles.
• Experience with STRATUS, spool production, bills of material, or fabrication data workflows.
• Experience with mechanical construction, pipe fabrication, purchasing, or installation of the systems represented in the database.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain project-specific Autodesk Fabrication profiles and services for mechanical piping and plumbing systems according to project requirements, approved submittals, and department standards.
• Create, configure, update, and maintain ITM fabrication parts and service palettes for pipe, fittings, valves, specialties, and connections; verify descriptions, sizes, materials, dimensional data, and connector settings.
• Test parts and services in Revit across expected sizes and use cases, checking placement, routing, connections, graphics, tags, and behavior before releasing content for project use.
• Validate that fabrication content produces usable spool information and material data in department workflows, including STRATUS where applicable, and investigate and correct discrepancies.
• Set up and review profiles for project-specific systems and materials, such as carbon-steel chilled water, no-hub cast-iron sanitary, and stainless-steel domestic water when required.
• Maintain organized source content, approved versions, change records, test results, and profile documentation so teams can identify current content and reproduce project setups.
• Work with detailers, BIM technicians, the fabrication shop, purchasing, vendors, and project teams to resolve content requests and confirm how parts will be procured, fabricated, and installed.
• Troubleshoot reported ITM, service, profile, and data issues; prioritize corrections with the detailing team and communicate corrections, database changes, and potential impacts on active models to appropriate teams.
• Support the development and improvement of mechanical fabrication content standards, quality checks, version controls, and handoff procedures across projects.
• Follow company safety requirements and department standards.
