Position Overview
The VDC Lead is responsible for leading the planning, coordination, and execution of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) efforts in support of Concrete Strategies’ self-perform concrete operations. This role bridges the gap between design intent and field execution by leveraging 3D and 4D modeling to improve constructability, sequencing, safety, and production efficiency.
As a technical and operational leader, the VDC Lead partners closely with estimating, project management, and field teams to deliver accurate, construction-driven models that support decision‑making throughout the project lifecycle—from pursuit and preconstruction through active construction. This role also plays a key part in advancing CSI’s VDC standards, workflows, and best practices, while mentoring junior VDC team members and promoting a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and accountability.
Key Responsibilities- Lead the planning, development, and coordination of 3D and 4D concrete models to support self‑perform construction operations across all project phases, from pursuit through closeout
- Translate design intent into constructible, execution‑ready models that reflect concrete means, methods, sequencing, access, and production constraints
- Integrate project schedules into models (4D) to support phasing strategies, pour sequencing, logistics planning, and visual communication with field teams
- Develop and maintain accurate model‑based quantity takeoffs to support estimating, procurement, cost control, and change management
- Create visual tools, dashboards, and model‑based deliverables to support internal decision‑making, client presentations, and pursuit efforts
- Lead and participate in coordination meetings with General Contractors, designers, and trade partners to identify clashes, resolve conflicts, and drive constructability solutions
- Proactively identify constructability, sequencing, and risk issues through model analysis and collaborate with project teams to implement solutions before they impact the field
- Serve as the primary VDC point of contact for assigned projects, ensuring alignment between VDC efforts, project goals, and field execution
- Partner closely with estimating, project management, and operations teams to ensure models support real‑world construction planning and productivity
- Support field teams by providing clear, accurate visualizations and model extracts that enhance understanding, communication, and execution
- Contribute to the development, refinement, and enforcement of VDC standards, workflows, and best practices across the organization
- Mentor and support junior VDC team members, providing technical guidance, quality oversight, and professional development support
- Stay current with VDC, BIM, and construction technology trends, tools, and best practices to drive continuous improvement and innovation
- Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field preferred; equivalent field experience considered
- 5+ years of experience in Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) / BIM, with a strong focus on self‑perform concrete construction
- Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Revit
- Strong understanding of cast‑in‑place concrete means and methods
, sequencing, and production planning - Proven ability to read, interpret, and apply construction drawings (structural, civil, architectural, etc.)
- Working knowledge of BIM Execution Plans (BEPs) and model deliverable requirements
- Experience supporting or developing 4D schedule integration and construction phasing visualizations
- Strong mathematical, analytical, and spatial reasoning skills
- Demonstrated constructability‑driven problem‑solving approach
- Ability to communicate effectively with field teams, project managers, and external partners
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
- Self‑motivated, accountable, and comfortable operating with a high level of ownership
