Spool Fabrication Coordinator

The Spool Fabrication Coordinator develops precise spool drawings and fabrication documentation for mechanical piping systems. This role translates engineered designs into fabrication-ready spools, ensuring dimensional accuracy, material compliance, and efficient shop production. The spooler interfaces closely with engineering, BIM teams, and fabrication personnel to support high-quality prefabrication and reliable field installation.

Spool Production & Technical Detailing

• Produce accurate piping spool drawings, including isometrics, weld maps, cut lists, and bills of material.
• Break down piping systems into efficient, fabrication-ready spools.
• Interpret P&IDs, layouts, and 3D models to generate complete prefabrication packages.
• Validate weld sequences, fitting orientation, tolerances, and specialty component requirements.
• Coordinate with welders, fitters, and shop supervisors to resolve fabrication issues or design deviations.
• Verify dimensional accuracy and ensure spool buildability to minimize field rework.
• Generate detailed material takeoffs for pipe, fittings, valves, supports, and specialty items.

Modeling & BIM Integration

• Apply deep technical understanding of Revit and Navisworks to develop, validate, and maintain piping models.
• Implement model updates based on RFIs, design revisions, field changes, and as-built conditions.
• Maintain accuracy of project documentation and tracking throughout prefab stages.

Quality & Compliance

• Ensure all spools meet applicable ASME, ASTM, and internal QA/QC standards.
• Review weld numbering, material specifications, and dimensional data for accuracy.
• Support resolution of design conflicts and field coordination issues.

Required

• 8–10+ years of experience producing mechanical piping prefabrication and spool packages.
• Deep understanding and extensive hands-on experience with Revit and Navisworks for piping modeling and detailing.
• Strong technical knowledge of piping materials, weld symbols, fabrication processes, and installation sequencing.
• Proficiency in interpreting P&IDs, engineered drawings, and construction documentation.
• High accuracy and attention to detail in all fabrication deliverables.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to coordinate effectively with engineering, fabrication, and field teams.
• Ability to manage multiple spool packages concurrently.
• Problem-solving mindset with a focus on accuracy and buildability.

Preferred

• Experience with MSUITE, EVOLVE, or similar BIM-to-fabrication platforms.
• Familiarity with BIM coordination workflows and shop production tracking.
• Experience in industrial facilities, mechanical contracting, fabrication shops, or process piping environments.
• Knowledge of ASME B31.1/B31.3 piping codes.
