Overview

Slayden Constructors Inc. (SCI), a wholly owned subsidiary of MWH Constructors, Inc. (MWH), is searching for a Senior VDC Engineer to support our project in Medford, Oregon. This role will also need to work out of our Salem, Oregon office to support other projects.

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior VDC Engineer to support digital construction delivery across multidisciplinary projects. The ideal candidate will have deep experience with Autodesk tools — including Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks, Recap, and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) - and a strong understanding of surveying and reality capture technologies, particularly Trimble survey instruments and software, Laser Scanning, Drone Mapping, etc.

This role requires both strategic leadership and hands-on execution of model creation & coordination, drafting/detailing, field integration, and advanced visualization workflows.

• Lead project VDC/BIM coordination, constructability analysis, and model integration across disciplines using Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks, ACC, and other BIM platforms.
• Enforce and assist in development of VDC standards, workflows, templates, and best practices for model creation, clash detection/coordination, and self-perform construction deliverables.
• Create and QC self-perform deliverables such as concrete lift drawings, pipe shop drawings, earthwork modeling, etc.

• Set up and maintain project model environments in Autodesk Construction Cloud for VDC deliverables, model collaboration, coordination workflows, and issue tracking.
• Support integration between ACC and other tools for field communication, RFIs, submittals, and model deliverables.

• Collaborate with field survey teams to support accurate field layout, control networks, and real-time model-to-field delivery.
• Integrate survey and reality capture data into VDC workflows to update as-built conditions and verify constructability.
• Process and utilize point clouds captured from scanning technologies using Autodesk Recap, Trimble Real Works, or similar reality capture platforms.
• Leverage drone mapping workflows and datasets to further inform decision making, estimating, and quantity tracking.

• Create 3D visualizations, renderings, and animations using Twin Motion (or equivalent real-time visualization tools).
• Support 4D construction sequencing and schedule integration using tools like cm Builder, Synchro, or similar to visualize project phasing and site logistics.

• Lead coordination meetings and interface with design, estimating, pre-construction, field operations, and client teams to ensure accurate model deliverables and construction outcomes.
• Mentor junior VDC/BIM staff and provide training on software tools, workflows, and industry best practices.

• Prepare presentations, reports, and summaries for leadership, project teams, and stakeholders.
• Maintain documentation of workflows, standards, and project deliverables.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Surveying, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years professional experience in VDC/BIM or digital construction roles.
• Expert proficiency with Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks Manage, Autodesk Recap, and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC).
• Hands-on experience with survey instruments, survey data, and related software (preferably using the Trimble ecosystem: Trimble Business Center, Trimble Works Manager).
• Strong understanding of model coordination, clash detection, and VDC based construction workflows.
• Proven ability to manage complex multi-disciplined model environments and deliver digital construction outcomes.
• Ability to build strong working relationships internally with project staff and field crews.
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and other normal business applications.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, along with customer facing experience.
• Strong desire and ability to self-learn and implement new technology.
