Summary
The BIM / VDC Engineer owns the digital model for the installation of automated production equipment into a partner manufacturing site. This role builds and manages the federated model that ties equipment layouts, utilities, structure, and MEP together; runs clash detection and spatial coordination before anything is issued for installation; uses reality capture to keep the model true to the site;
and hands over an accurate as-built to operations. The ideal candidate has coordinated large, fast-moving industrial or high-tech facility projects across many disciplines and can make a model useful to engineers, installers, and project controls alike.

- Set up and manage large, federated models spanning equipment, structural, architectural, and MEP disciplines across internal teams, vendors, and the partner site.
- Integrate equipment vendor models and layouts into the site model; establish modeling standards, LOD, naming, and data requirements for all contributors.
- Run clash detection and spatial coordination (Navisworks, Revizto, or equivalent) for equipment, utilities, and MEP; drive resolution to closure on schedule.
- Perform and process reality capture (laser scan, photogrammetry) of existing conditions; reconcile model to field.
- Produce coordinated installation drawings, equipment placement plans, utility drops, and sequencing visualizations for field teams.
- Integrate model data with project controls (quantities, WBS alignment) and commissioning/turnover workflows.
- Deliver the as-built model and data package to the partner's facilities team at handover.
- Develop custom parametric content and automation (Revit families, Dynamo, scripts) to speed modeling and data extraction.
- Evaluate and introduce BIM/VDC tooling appropriate to a fast equipment deployment program.
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture, or related field, or equivalent experience.
- 3+ years hands-on BIM/VDC experience on industrial, manufacturing, or high-tech facility projects (semiconductor, battery, solar, automotive, data center).
- Proven expertise in Revit and Navisworks; proficiency with AutoCAD, IFC, and data interoperability.
- Experience with reality capture tools and point-cloud workflows (ReCap, Cyclone, or similar).
- Experience coordinating multi-disciplinary models with external design teams and vendors.
- Ability to work on-site in the Dallas area and travel to the partner site as required.
- Coding or visual programming (Dynamo, Python, C#) and database integrations.
- Experience aligning model quantities with WBS-based cost tracking.
- Experience with equipment-heavy layouts (robotic cells, conveyance, utilities) rather than building-only scope.
- Experience handing over BIM for facility operations.
- Experience in defense, aerospace, or other regulated programs.
This role is eligible for equity (employee stock options) and benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and paid time off. Roles with significant travel may be eligible for an assignment premium.
