Build What Actually Gets Installed

At VIATechnik, we don't just model systems-we help bring them to life. We're looking for a BIM Detailer who can turn coordinated models into fabrication-ready drawings that drive real-world installation for complex mechanical and plumbing systems.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role where your work directly influences how projects are built-down to the spool, the cut, and the install.

 

What You'll Do

You'll take ownership of transforming coordinated BIM models into clear, accurate, installer-ready deliverables, including:

  • Creating spool drawings, fabrication packages, and installation details that fabrication and field teams can execute with confidence
  • Ensuring model accuracy, constructability, and coordination across systems
  • Supporting project teams to keep detailing aligned with fabrication and construction schedules
  • Identifying and resolving issues early to reduce rework and keep projects moving

 

The Impact You'll Make

In this role, your success means:

  • Fabrication teams can build with minimal revisions
  • Field teams install with clarity and confidence
  • Projects stay on schedule with fewer coordination issues
  • BIM becomes a true driver of execution-not just design

 

Why This Role is a Career Move

This is more than a detailing role-it's a chance to grow into a high-level BIM fabrication expert.

You'll gain:

  • Exposure to advanced BIM workflows and manufacturing-driven construction
  • Experience working across project management, coordination, and field teams
  • Opportunities to work on large-scale, complex systems
  • A pathway into digital construction, automation, and AI-enabled BIM tools
  • If you want to deepen your technical expertise and see your work directly impact real-world builds, this is the place.

 

What You Bring

We're looking for someone who combines technical BIM skills with real-world trade understanding:

  • Experience producing mechanical and/or plumbing BIM drawings
  • Strong understanding of constructability and installation practices
  • Ability to create clear, detailed fabrication and spool drawings
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, multi-project environment
  • Strong communication skills across office and field teams

Bonus if you:

  • Have experience supporting fabrication workflows or manufacturing environments
  • Are curious about automation, AI tools, or digital construction innovation



Compensation and featured benefits:

  • The pay for this position is $65,000 – $80,000, and the role is eligible for bonuses. The actual salary offer may be different as we carefully consider a wide range of factors, including your skills, qualifications, location, and experience
  • Health insurance with the choice of five plan options. We cover 70-95% of premiums for VIATechies and 65% of the premiums for dependents (depending on the plan chosen)
  • Dental and vision insurance. We cover up to 75% of the monthly insurance premiums for VIATechies and up to 50% of the premiums for dependents (depending on the plans chosen)
  • Open and flexible time off
  • A 401(k) plan that is fully vested immediately
  • Home office setup costs
  • Paid holidays

 

As a minority and woman owned and led company, VIATechnik seeks to build a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. VIATechnik is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment.
