VDC Manager - Mechanical & Plumbing

A leading mechanical contractor is seeking an experienced VDC Manager focused on Mechanical and Plumbing systems to lead model-based delivery across design, prefabrication, and construction phases. The ideal candidate will drive BIM/VDC strategy for MEP trades, manage coordination and clash detection, standardize workflows, and ensure high-quality Revit models that align with project schedules and field requirements. This role requires strong technical expertise in plumbing and mechanical systems, proven leadership in VDC/BIM execution, and the ability to collaborate effectively with design teams, contractors, and field operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement VDC/BIM standards, templates, and best practices for mechanical and plumbing models to ensure consistency across projects.
• Lead model coordination sessions and manage clash detection and resolution between MEP, structural, and architectural disciplines using Navisworks or equivalent tools.
• Produce, review, and maintain detailed Revit models for mechanical and plumbing systems, ensuring constructability and compliance with project requirements.
• Coordinate with design engineers, contractors, and prefabrication teams to translate design intent into buildable models and shop drawings.
• Supervise and mentor VDC/BIM modelers and technicians, assign workloads, and review deliverables for quality and accuracy.
• Collaborate with field teams to provide model-based installation support, fabrication coordination, and on-site issue resolution.
• Support preconstruction and estimating activities by providing model-based quantities, constructability reviews, and risk identification.

Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, Architectural Engineering, or related field preferred; or equivalent professional experience.
• 7+ years of experience in VDC/BIM with a strong focus on mechanical and plumbing systems; 3+ years in a supervisory or lead role preferred.
• Advanced proficiency in Revit for MEP modeling and family creation, including parameter management and template development.
• Experience with coordination and clash detection tools such as Navisworks Manage, BIM 360 Glue, or Solibri.
• Deep practical knowledge of plumbing systems, mechanical HVAC systems, ductwork, piping, and construction methods to ensure model constructability.
• Familiarity with prefabrication workflows, fabrication modeling, and shop drawing production.
• Strong understanding of LOD (Level of Development) requirements, model deliverables, and industry BIM standards (e.g., ISO 19650, AIA BIM guidelines).
• Proficiency with additional tools such as AutoCAD, Bluebeam, Dynamo, Revit add-ins, and common project management platforms is desirable.
