Mechanical Designer

About This Role

This role supports industrial pipe fabrication by creating detailed, fabrication-ready pipe spool drawings, working closely with various teams to ensure safe, efficient, and predictable fabrication outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Develop detailed pipe spool drawings and fabrication packages using 3D models, isometrics, orthographic drawings, and contract documents
• Use Navisworks to navigate models and extract spools by system
• Produce and revise 2D fabrication drawings using Spoolfab
• Generate spool sheets with weld symbols, material callouts, dimensions, tolerances, and fabrication notes
• Coordinate with project managers, estimators, and shop supervision to align drawings with schedule, priorities, fabrication sequence, and installation strategy
• Incorporate field conditions, RFIs, and redlines into revised drawings
• Support quality control by ensuring drawings comply with applicable codes, specifications, and internal standards
• Maintain organized drawing files and revision control per project procedures
• Participate in constructability reviews and prefabrication planning
• Assist with model-based takeoffs and material tracking as needed

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience as a Mechanical Designer or Detailer in industrial piping, pipe fabrication, or structural fabrication
• Hands-on experience using Navisworks for model navigation, extraction, and coordination
• Proficiency with AutoCAD for 2D drafting
• Strong understanding of pipe spool fabrication practices, including welding, fit-up, and shop workflows
• Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, isometric drawings, specifications, and project documents
• Working knowledge of piping materials, fittings, valves, and supports
• High attention to detail with a focus on accuracy and constructability
• Strong communication skills

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a Mechanical Designer or Detailer in industrial piping, pipe fabrication, or structural fabrication

Nice to Have

• Experience with Spoolfab for spool management and fabrication workflows
• Experience using Tekla Structures
• Familiarity with ASME piping codes (B31.1, B31.3)
• Experience supporting modular or prefabricated piping assemblies
• Exposure to ERP or digital production tracking systems
