Mechanical BIM Manager

The VDC Department Manager leads all BIM/VDC efforts related to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, with a strong emphasis on prefabrication and building projects virtually before field execution begins. Success requires driving organizational buy-in to VDC processes and maintaining high standards of model accuracy to directly support fabrication, installation, and overall project outcomes.

The VDC Manager serves as a culture champion who develops high-performing teams and fosters an environment of trust, accountability, continuous improvement, and servant leadership.

• Create a positive, collaborative, and high-performance environment that promotes respect, accountability, integrity, and teamwork.
• Lead with humility, transparency, and authenticity while maintaining high standards of performance.
• Facilitate collaboration between internal departments, trade partners, designers, and clients.
• Navigate challenges and conflicts with a solutions-oriented mindset that strengthens relationships.
• Champion a “Build it virtually first” philosophy company-wide and with trade partners
• Establish and enforce model accuracy, completeness, and constructability expectations
• Implement quality control processes to validate models before release to fabrication or field teams
• Ensure models are precise in dimensions, routing, and trade coordination — detailed enough to support fabrication without rework

• Recruit, mentor, and develop VDC professionals, field personnel, and project teams.
• Conduct regular coaching conversations focused on both technical growth and leadership development.
• Build a career development pathway for team members.
• Encourage innovation, problem-solving, and ownership at all levels.
• Provide constructive feedback and recognize achievements that align with company values.

• Ensure models are developed to fabrication level (LOD 400+) for shop production
• Collaborate with fabrication shops to align model output with manufacturing capabilities
• Oversee spool drawings, assemblies, and material lists derived from coordinated models
• Validate installation sequencing virtually before fabrication and field work begins VDC Process & Technology
  • Develop and enforce BIM/VDC standards specific to mechanical/plumbing coordination and prefabrication
  • Implement workflows connecting design, coordination, fabrication, and field execution
  • Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies (laser scanning, point clouds, digital twins)
  Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, or related field
  • 7–10+ years of construction, BIM, VDC, or related industry experience.
  • 5+ years in a leadership role
  • Strong knowledge of MEP systems, installation practices, and prefabrication
  • Advanced proficiency in Revit, Navisworks, and Autodesk Construction Cloud
  • Leadership in driving VDC adoption across teams and trade partners
  • Strong commitment to virtual construction methodologies
  • Exceptional attention to model accuracy and detail
  • Ability to translate models into real-world construction and fabrication success
  • High accountability for quality and constructability
