Job description

Requisition ID: 180093 Job Level: Mid Level Home District/Group: Kiewit Industrial & Water Engineering Department: Drafting & Design Market: Industrial Employment Type: Full Time

Position Overview

At Kiewit, our most successful projects are won and delivered in the field—not from behind a desk. We’re looking for a Field BIM / VDC Manager who wants to be on‑site with superintendents, project engineers, and craft, using models and data to solve real construction challenges before they impact schedule, cost, or safety.

If you believe BIM and VDC should drive how work is installed, not just how it’s designed, this role is for you.

District Overview

Kiewit’s Industrial and Water Engineering Group has the ability and the responsibility to greatly influence the successful outcome of our projects. Our team is multi‑faceted, with best‑in‑class technical expertise focused on EPC and design‑build delivery of industrial projects in markets such as Food & Beverage, Mineral Processing, Renewable Fuels, Pulp and Paper, Steel & Aluminum, Industrial Buildings, and Industrial Energy, Water and Utilities.

Location

One of the many things that makes Kiewit’s culture unique is that we go where the work is, which exposes your career to abundant opportunities. We relocate our teams based on the work that is available, combined with the development plans, skill sets and career goals of each team member. This means your Kiewit adventure is custom‑designed to meet our shared needs.

Ideally working on‑site either in Santa Teresa, New Mexico or Abilene, Texas to support a large scale Data Center project the next 2-3 years.

Responsibilities

As a Field BIM / VDC Manager, you’ll be embedded with the project team and act as the digital construction lead, ensuring models translate into executable, build‑ready plans.

• Partner directly with superintendents, field engineers, and project managers to support construction planning and installation
• Leverage BIM/VDC tools to drive:
• Constructability reviews
• Clash detection and resolution
• Work packaging and installation sequencing
• 4D planning and logistics modeling
• Coordinate with engineering, trade partners, and vendors to ensure models reflect means, methods, and real‑world conditions
• Support field layout, model‑based quantity takeoffs, and fabrication workflows
• Champion model accuracy from design through installation—closing the gap between “what’s modeled” and “what’s built”
• Train and support field teams on how to use BIM as a construction tool, not just a visualization
• Identify opportunities where digital tools can improve safety, productivity, and schedule certainty

Qualifications

We’re open to different career paths—as long as you understand construction and know how to use BIM/VDC to support it.

Ideal background includes

• Bachelors Degree in Engineering, Construction Management or BIM
• 3+ years of professional experienced in a BIM / VDC capacity preferably on the construction side
• Experience in construction‑focused BIM/VDC, preferably on large EPC or industrial projects
• Strong working knowledge of tools such as Revit, Navisworks, BIM 360 / ACC, and construction coordination platforms
• Proven ability to work alongside field leadership and craft
• Understanding of construction sequencing, temporary works, and installation constraints
• Comfort operating in fast‑paced, site‑driven environments
• Willingness to be on‑site, travel, or relocate based on project needs

Field experience, trade exposure, or time spent supporting installation teams is a major plus.

Working Conditions

Other Requirements:

• Regular, reliable attendance
• Work productively and meet deadlines timely
• Communicate and interact effectively and professionally with supervisors, employees, and others individually or in a team environment.
• Perform work safely and effectively. Understand and follow oral and written instructions, including warning signs, equipment use, and other policies.
• Work during normal operating hours to organize and complete work within given deadlines. Work overtime and weekends as required.
• May work at various different locations and conditions may vary.
