Plumbing Designer | Richmond, VA

From the Jobsite to the Drawing Board

Plumbing Designer | Richmond, VA

You know what makes a plumbing system work in the field. Now help shape the drawings that make installation smoother.

Our client is looking for a Plumbing Designer with strong commercial or industrial plumbing experience—ideally someone who has worked as a Plumbing Foreman and understands how systems are coordinated and built. You’ll create practical coordination, shop, and fabrication drawings that help project teams spot conflicts early and install with confidence.

What you’ll do

• Create plumbing coordination, shop, fabrication, and construction drawings.
• Coordinate systems with structural, mechanical, electrical, and architectural teams.
• Identify clashes and constructability issues before they reach the field.
• Partner with project managers, engineers, virtual construction, and field teams.
• Visit jobsites as needed to verify field conditions.
• Help improve installation efficiency and reduce unnecessary piping, fittings, and labor.

What you bring

• At least five years of plumbing foreman-level experience in commercial or industrial construction.
• A strong understanding of plumbing installation, drawings, specifications, and constructability.
• AutoCAD and Navisworks experience, plus the ability to learn 3D design software.
• Revit experience is a plus, but it’s not required for the right candidate.

What you can expect

Competitive pay based on experience, training and career growth, a 401(k) with a generous company match, paid leave and holidays, comprehensive insurance, disability coverage, employee referral incentives, and a scholarship program for employees’ children.
