VDC Technician

Key Responsibilities

• 3D Modeling: Creating and updating detailed 3D models of electrical systems using BIM software.
• Layout Assistance: Facilitate communication between field and BIM Technicians by reviewing field markups and ensuring all the information needed for modeling is being captured.
• Model Coordination: Integrating design information from various disciplines (structural, mechanical, electrical, etc.) into the 3D model.
• Clash Detection: Identifying and resolving spatial conflicts or clashes between different building components using clash detection tools.
• Constructability Reviews: Evaluating the feasibility of construction based on the 3D model and providing feedback to improve the design.
• Construction Documentation: Generating drawings, schedules, and visualizations from the 3D model to support construction planning and execution.
• Collaboration: Working closely with VDC project managers, engineers, supers and construction PMs to ensure alignment between digital designs and on-site realities.
• Supporting Project Teams: Providing 3D visualizations, clash reports, and other information to aid decision-making and project execution.
• Travel: About 50% of time traveling, with the possibility of extended periods of time stationed at a job site.

• Experience using Navisworks.
• Sound understanding of electrical construction methods and terminology, building codes, and industry standards.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Ability to analyze and interpret electrical design information.
• Problem‑solving skills to address clashes and constructability issues.
• Attention to detail and ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Ability to manage single tasks effectively and meet deadlines.

• Electrical construction experience.
• Understanding of BIM principles and workflows desired.
• Experience with the use of 3D modeling software.
