HVAC Sheet Metal Detailer

Madden Industrial Craftsmen is hiring an HVAC Sheet Metal Detailer for our client in Portland, OR. This is an office-based CAD detailing role where you'll take 3D scan and point cloud data from existing shipboard ductwork and turn it into replacement ductwork designs — from initial routing all the way through manufacturing-ready documentation. If you've got a background in AutoCAD MEP and CAMduct and are looking for detailing work that's a step beyond standard commercial HVAC — with material takeoffs, procurement support, and some field verification mixed in — this is a strong fit.

Pay: $35.65/hour
Schedule: Monday–Friday, Day Shift, 6:00 AM – 2:30 PM

What You'll Do

• Reverse-engineer existing shipboard ductwork using 3D scan/point cloud data

• Develop replacement ductwork designs from initial routing through manufacturing

• Perform material take-offs: calculate quantities from customer drawings, generate rough nests, and compile data for procurement

• Participate in occasional shipboard or field walkthroughs to verify scope or fill in missing information

• Support Piping and Structural teams as workload requires, including reverse-engineering piping/structural components from scan data

What You Bring

• 3+ years of experience with sheet metal detailing and/or ductwork design

• Working knowledge of AutoCAD MEP (required)

• Working knowledge of Autodesk Fabrication CAMduct (required)

• Comfort reading and interpreting customer drawings and 3D scan/point cloud data

• Comfortable in a primarily office-based role with occasional shipboard/field walkthroughs

Preferred:

• 1+ year of marine or shipyard experience

• Familiarity with AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or Rhino, especially for structural detailing

Benefits

• Medical Insurance

• Paid Sick Time

• Paid Holidays

• 401(k) with Company Match

Work Environment

This role is primarily office-based, with occasional visits aboard ships or in the field to conduct walkthroughs, review statements of work, or verify missing information. Most day-to-day work takes place at a desk using CAD software and 3D scan data, with fieldwork representing a smaller portion of the role.
