Key Responsibilities

Model Coordination & BIM Execution

• Lead project VDC/BIM coordination, constructability analysis, and model integration across disciplines using Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks, ACC, and other BIM platforms.
• Enforce and assist in development of VDC standards, workflows, templates, and best practices for model creation, clash detection/coordination, and self-perform construction deliverables.
• Create and QC self-perform deliverables such as concrete lift drawings, pipe shop drawings, earthwork modeling, etc.

Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) Implementation

• Set up and maintain project model environments in Autodesk Construction Cloud for VDC deliverables, model collaboration, coordination workflows, and issue tracking.
• Support integration between ACC and other tools for field communication, RFIs, submittals, and model deliverables.

Survey Technology & Field Integration

• Collaborate with field survey teams to support accurate field layout, control networks, and real-time model-to-field delivery.
• Integrate survey and reality capture data into VDC workflows to update as-built conditions and verify constructability.

• Process and utilize point clouds captured from scanning technologies using Autodesk Recap, Trimble RealWorks, or similar reality capture platforms.
• Leverage drone mapping workflows and datasets to further inform decision making, estimating, and quantity tracking.

Advanced Visualization & Scheduling Support

• Create 3D visualizations, renderings, and animations using TwinMotion (or equivalent real-time visualization tools).
• Support 4D construction sequencing and schedule integration using tools like cmBuilder, Synchro, or similar to visualize project phasing and site logistics.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Lead coordination meetings and interface with design, estimating, pre-construction, field operations, and client teams to ensure accurate model deliverables and construction outcomes.
• Mentor junior VDC/BIM staff and provide training on software tools, workflows, and industry best practices.

Documentation & Reporting

• Prepare presentations, reports, and summaries for leadership, project teams, and stakeholders.
• Maintain documentation of workflows, standards, and project deliverables.

• Expert proficiency with Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks Manage, Autodesk Recap, and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC).
• Hands-on experience with survey instruments, survey data, and related software (preferably using the Trimble ecosystem: Trimble Business Center, Trimble WorksManager).
• Strong understanding of model coordination, clash detection, and VDC based construction workflows.
• Proven ability to manage complex multi-disciplined model environments and deliver digital construction outcomes.
• Ability to build strong working relationships internally with project staff and field crews.
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and other normal business applications.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, along with customer facing experience.
• Strong desire and ability to self-learn and implement new technology.

Nice-to-Have / Preferred Skills

• Experience with laser scanners and point cloud processing workflows.
• Drone mapping, FAA Part 107 certification, and aerial survey data integration.
• Experience with 4D planning and scheduling tools (e.g., Synchro, cmBuilder).
• Familiarity with TwinMotion (or Unreal/Unity real-time rendering platforms) for visualization.
• Programming or automation skills (e.g., Dynamo, Python) to improve workflows.
• Prior experience with advancing AI strategy in the construction industry.

Work Environment & Expectations

• Hybrid office and field support depending on project demands.
• Collaboration across disciplines with an emphasis on digital construction delivery.
• Some travel is required to support project coordination on site, and departmental functions in the office.
• Must have a valid driver’s license, and reliable transportation.
• Possess U.S. Work authorization—such as US citizenship, permanent residency (Green Card), or a valid work visa—to work for any US employer immediately.
