We're looking for an experienced VDC professional who has successfully managed design teams and partnered closely with architects and engineers throughout the design phase of commercial construction projects. You'll lead preconstruction VDC efforts using BIM tools like Revit to drive coordination, alignment, and project success. To thrive in this role, you'll need strong design management experience, proficiency with Revit, and a collaborative approach to working with owners, designers, and trade partners.

If you're passionate about leveraging technology to improve project outcomes and team collaboration, we'd love to connect with you.

• Partner with architects, engineers, owners, and trade partners to align project goals and BIM/VDC strategies during design.
• Lead coordination meetings and project clusters, including BIM, structural, MEP, and envelope reviews.
• Use pull planning and collaborative workflows to keep design teams aligned with project schedules and milestones.

• Manage the preconstruction VDC process from early design through construction readiness.
• Oversee the development of federated 3D models that support coordination, logistics planning, quantity takeoffs, and design management.
• Ensure BIM/VDC workflows, model deliverables, and coordination processes are understood and executed across project partners.

• Leverage Revit and other BIM tools to drive model-based coordination and extract quantities for estimating.
• Identify opportunities to improve project outcomes through technology, innovation, and integrated construction practices.
• Support VDC training and knowledge-sharing efforts with internal teams, design partners, and trade partners.

• A bachelor's degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
• 3-5+ years of experience in design management, VDC, BIM, or a related construction-focused role.
• Proven experience managing design teams and collaborating directly with architects, engineers, owners, and trade partners throughout the design phase.
• Proficiency with BIM software, including Autodesk Revit; experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), Navisworks, or similar platforms is a plus.
• Experience working with 3D coordination, federated models, quantity takeoffs (QTO), and model-based project delivery workflows.
• A strong understanding of commercial construction processes, design documentation, and integrated project delivery approaches such as Design-Build, Design Assist, or IPD.
• The ability to lead cross-functional teams, facilitate coordination efforts, and communicate effectively with a wide range of project stakeholders.
• A collaborative mindset, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, highly integrated project environment.
