  • Redundancy strategies (N, N+1, 2N systems)
  • Raised floor and/or overhead distribution coordination
• Experience coordinating specialty systems and vendors, including UPS, switch gear, busways, CRAC units, and controls.
• Familiarity with tight tolerance coordination, prefabrication strategies, and installation sequencing in constrained environments.
• Exposure to commissioning, turnover, and as‑built model requirements for mission‑critical facilities.

• 7‑10 years of experience in a VDC/BIM coordination role (GC, subcontractor, or design firm).
• Strong working knowledge of Revit, Navisworks, and AutoCAD.
• Proficiency with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC); experience with ReCap and point cloud workflows preferred.
• Strong understanding of MEP systems, constructability, and construction sequencing.
