Job description

We are seeking a VDC Project Manager with expertise in electrical systems to oversee BIM/VDC efforts on complex electrical construction projects. You will collaborate closely with electrical contractors, project managers, and field teams to ensure constructability, accuracy, and seamless execution of electrical systems on the project.

This role requires extreme ownership in four key areas:

Project Leadership & Execution – Oversee BIM/VDC coordination for electrical scopes from kickoff to installation.

Quality Assurance (QA/QC) – Ensure electrical models, layouts, and prefabrication drawings meet industry and field standards.

Bidding, Proposals & Change Orders – Support electrical project pricing, estimation, and scope changes.

Client Service & Relationship Management – Work closely with electrical contractors, project managers, and field teams to provide top-tier VDC support.

Additionally, you’ll contribute to business development, mentor BIM/VDC specialists, and drive process improvements.

Key Responsibilities

Project Management

Own the VDC/BIM process for electrical scopes, from project setup to execution and final closeout.

Manage electrical model development, coordination efforts, and installation drawings.

People Management: Build and develop the project team to ensure maximum performance, providing purpose, direction, and motivation. Cultivate and maintain positive relationships with appropriate stakeholders, providing day-to-day contact on project status and changes.

Scheduling: Oversee and maintain project schedules in collaboration with the Project Coordinator and VDC Specialists within the Project Management tool.

Risk Management: Identify potential risks & mitigation measures.

Lead BIM coordination meetings, ensuring electrical layouts align with mechanical, plumbing, and structural trades.

Estimating: Prepare accurate and strategic cost estimates and project proposals.

Conduct site visits to validate constructability, resolve field issues, and support installation teams.

Change Management: Analyze project progress and, when necessary, adapt scope, timelines, and costs to ensure that the project team adheres to project requirements.

Resource Management: Monitor and assign resources appropriately to streamline project efficiency and maximize deliverable outputs.

Ensure electrical models and prefabrication drawings meet contractual and field installation requirements.

Work with electrical contractors to develop prefabrication strategies, spool drawings, and material takeoffs.

Review shop drawings, submittals, and specifications to ensure compliance and accuracy.

Assist in power and lighting layouts, underground conduit routing, and panelboard coordination.

Client & Business Development Support

Serve as the primary technical cooperator for electrical contractors: foremen and project managers.

Support cost estimating, scope development, and change order tracking for electrical VDC work.

Contribute to marketing efforts, proposal development, and industry networking opportunities.

What We’re Looking For

Experience: 5+ years in VDC/BIM project management; prefer electrical experience.

Communication & Client Engagement: Ability to work closely with electrical contractors, project managers, and foremen.
