Electrical Construction Detailer (Electrical Designer)

Walpole, Massachusetts, Position Overview Gaston Electrical is seeking an experienced Electrical Construction Detailer with a strong electrical construction background to bridge the gap between engineering design and field installation. This role is ideal for electricians, foremen, and general foremen who understand how electrical systems are built in the field. The Electrical Construction Detailer reviews engineering drawings, develops constructability solutions, identifies prefabrication opportunities, utilizes Bluebeam to create detailed field-driven markups, and helps define project means and methods. These markups and concepts are translated into coordinated Revit models by BIM/VDC teams. This position serves as a key point of contact throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring alignment between design, prefabrication, and field execution.

Responsibilities

Utilize Bluebeam Revu to create detailed constructability markups, installation layouts, routing recommendations, and field-driven solutions. Review engineering drawings and specifications for constructability, efficiency, and code compliance. Provide detailed markups that communicate installation intent to BIM Coordinators and project teams. Work with BIM Coordinators and VDC teams to convert Bluebeam markups into coordinated Revit models. Participate in coordination and clash-detection meetings. Develop prefab drawings, spool sheets, assembly packages, and installation details for production. Identify and maximize electrical prefabrication opportunities throughout the project lifecycle. Coordinate with the prefabrication shop to ensure assemblies are accurately detailed and manufactured. Serve as a central point of contact between field operations, BIM teams, project management, and prefabrication. Provide constructability guidance and technical support throughout project execution.

Means & Methods / Construction Planning

Develop and lead project-specific electrical means and methods strategies that improve safety, productivity, quality, and schedule performance. Evaluate engineered designs and determine the most efficient installation approach based on field conditions, manpower, access constraints, and project sequencing. Create installation plans that support labor efficiency and maximize prefabrication opportunities. Establish standard installation practices and prefab assemblies that can be consistently deployed across projects. Collaborate with Project Managers, Superintendents, General Foremen, and field teams to develop execution plans and work packaging strategies. Identify opportunities to reduce field labor through modularization, off-site fabrication, and advanced planning. Assist in developing material flow and logistics plans to support project execution. Ensure BIM models, prefab drawings, and field installation packages accurately reflect approved means and methods. Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on constructability, labor productivity, and operational excellence.

Required Qualifications

5+ years experience as a Detailer, Electrician, Lead Electrician, Foreman, General Foreman, Superintendent, or related electrical construction leader OR Electrical engineering degree + 2 years electrical design experience; previous coordination experience or familiarity with the coordination process helpful. Ability to read and interpret electrical plans, specifications, one-line diagrams, and shop drawings. Strong understanding of field installation methods and electrical construction best practices. Experience identifying and implementing prefabrication opportunities.

Preferred Qualifications

Proficiency with Bluebeam Revu for construction markups, constructability reviews, and detailing. Experience with Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, and BIM/VDC coordination workflows. Experience with electrical prefabrication and manufacturing processes.
