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

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
