As a VDC Engineer, you’ll support Absher’s project teams by applying Virtual Design & Construction practices to improve planning, coordination, and project delivery. You’ll work closely with project managers, superintendents, engineers, and trade partners to develop and manage construction models, facilitate trade coordination, and help resolve issues before they impact the field.

This role plays an important part in bridging design intent and field execution by using model‑based workflows to support coordination, sequencing, and constructability across projects.

• Lead and facilitate trade coordination meetings using model‑based workflows
• Perform clash detection and track resolution of coordination issues across disciplines
• Work with project teams to ensure models reflect construction sequencing and field conditions

• Assist with 4D visual scheduling and model‑based planning when applicable
• Provide VDC support to project teams throughout the project lifecycle
• Maintain and organize project coordination models and documentation
• Continuously improve VDC processes and workflows through ongoing learning and collaboration

You’re a strong problem solver who enjoys working with both technology and construction teams. You communicate clearly, think spatially, and take pride in helping project teams identify and resolve coordination challenges before they impact the field.

• Degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Experience using Autodesk software such as Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, or Civil 3D
