Pipe Fabrication Coordinator

Planning and Scheduling

• Build and maintain the spool fabrication schedule, tied to the construction sequence and area turnover dates.

• Prioritize spools by field need dates and material availability.

• Run weekly fabrication look-aheads with construction supervision and shop leadership.

• Flag schedule risks early and propose recovery options.

‍

Tracking and Reporting

• Maintain the spool tracking log from released for fabrication through shipping.

• Track weld counts, inch-diameter completed, and fabrication progress against plan.

• Produce weekly progress and status reports for the project team.

• Reconcile spool lists against current isometric revisions and the line list.

‍

Material and Procurement Coordination

• Confirm pipe, fittings, flanges, valves, and consumables are available for each spool package.

• Work with procurement and the warehouse on shortages, substitutions, and expediting.

• Verify material traceability and MTR/heat number requirements before release.

‍

Engineering and Document Control

• Confirm isometrics are IFC and current revision before releasing to fabrication.

• Submit RFIs for drawing conflicts, constructability issues, or missing information.

• Coordinate field changes, MOCs, and revisions with engineering, and track their impact on spools already released or fabricated.

‍

Quality and Compliance

• Coordinate with QA/QC on welding procedures (WPS/PQR), welder qualifications, NDE, hydrotest, and PWHT requirements.

• Make sure fabrication follows applicable codes and specifications (ASME B31.3, B31.1, B16.5, and project specifications).

• Verify spool documentation packages (traveler, weld map, NDE results, MTRs) are complete before shipping.

• Track and close out nonconformances and rework.

‍

Logistics and Field Support

• Plan shipping, load sequencing, and delivery to laydown areas.

• Make sure spools are tagged, protected, and identifiable on arrival.

• Support construction supervisors with spool status, field fit-up questions, and punch items.

‍

Welding Technology Development

• Partner with the shop welding engineer and shop leadership to identify, evaluate, and pilot new welding technology (e.g., orbital welding, mechanized/automated welding systems, new consumables or process technology).

• Track pilot and trial results, including weld counts, inch-diameter output, cycle time, and rework, to show the impact on spool throughput and schedule.

• Plan spool sequencing and shop loading to support equipment trials and new-technology rollouts without disrupting field need dates.

• Coordinate with QA/QC on procedure qualification, welder qualification, and NDE requirements before new processes are used on production spools.

• Support training and rollout for shop personnel, and capture lessons learned and best practices for future projects.

• Provide fabrication data and input to support cost and productivity justification for new equipment and technology requests.

‍

Safety

• Model and reinforce H+M's “Take It Personal” safety culture in the shop, laydown yard, and on site.

• Follow H+M safety policies and client site requirements, and take part in JSAs, safety meetings, and incident reviews.

• Stop work and report any unsafe condition.

‍
