With over 300 global team members, VIATechnik is on a mission to transform the built environment towards a better future. We empower our clients through high-quality, high-velocity experiences consistently improving outcomes across design, construction, and operations of buildings and infrastructure. The firm's services include Virtual Design & Construction (VDC), Building Information Modeling (BIM), Virtual & Augmented Reality, Digital Twins, and Enterprise Software Application Development.

We work on some of the industry's largest and most interesting projects such as Apple's new headquarters, Virgin Hyperloop One, Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) modernization & expansions, Denver International Airport, Chicago O'Hare International Airport, Hudson Yards, the Atlanta Falcons Stadium, Chase Arena, the Tesla Gigafactory and many more. Our team is made up of leading VDC professionals, technologists, architects, and engineers who have a passion for solving problems and a thirst for learning.

The role:

As a Senior VDC Engineer with a focus on electrical systems, you'll have the opportunity to apply your technical and engineering skills across a multitude of projects for electrical subcontractors and contribute to world-class thought leadership around VDC.

The ideal candidate is someone growth-minded who thrives in a fast-paced environment, can extrapolate information quickly and effectively (creating clarity from ambiguity), and has a deep passion for developing and implementing innovative BIM processes across teams. As a natural leader, you expect to provide a stellar client experience while leading internal teams to success.

In this role, you will:

• Manage electrical subcontractor projects across the VDC spectrum
• Coordinate and lead interesting digital model creation efforts globally for electrical subcontractor projects
• Serve as the interface to clients and cultivate client relationships. Present work to the client. Conduct and/or actively participate in meetings with the client
• Plan both large and small BIM projects, including understanding and communicating the project scope, as well as forecasting and budgeting time and expenses for the entire project team
• Review and explain electrical and one-line drawings, delegating creation of models to global team members
• Perform quality control checks of models
• Identify opportunities for efficiency improvements and give and receive feedback effectively
• Contribute to our culture of professional development and knowledge sharing by participating in training efforts

Apply if you have:

• A bachelor's or master's degree in Architecture, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Construction Management or similar
• 3 to 5 years of experience providing execution and support of BIM and VDC at an electrical subcontractor
• Excellent communication skills, with a focus on finding the win-win in conflicts, keeping clients happy, and performing well under pressure
• Well-honed organizational skills to keep projects running smoothly
• Ability to flex hours to meet team and client requirements
• Knowledge of primary building systems and interior finishes and the sequence and assembly of each
• Experience creating and managing complex commercial and industrial design projects
• Intermediate-level experience with Revit, Navisworks, BIM360, and BlueBeam
• Effective work habits to succeed in an extremely fast-paced environment with minimal direction

Even better if you have:

• Experience in combining and coordinating BIM updates, running clash detection on revised components and communicating results to internal and external stakeholders
• Advanced knowledge of Revit and BlueBeam
• An understanding of leading online meetings and training sessions across remote project teams using platforms such as Asana
• Additional knowledge or experience within the construction industry, especially deeper experience within low voltage systems, data centers, high rises, and audio/visual
• Intermediate knowledge of Revizto, Dynamo, Excel, and Power BI
• A strong ability to see the big picture and think strategically
• A track record of effectively working with and/or managing teams remotely, especially global teams
• Willingness to take an "all hands on deck" approach. A proactive and flexible attitude

Compensation and featured benefits:

• The pay for this position is $90,000 to $110,000, and the role is eligible for bonuses. The actual salary offer may be higher as we carefully consider a wide range of factors, including your skills, qualifications, experience and location.
• Health insurance with the choice of five plan options. We cover 70-95% of premiums for VIATechies (depending on the plan chosen) and 65% of the premiums for dependents
• Dental and vision insurance. We cover up to 75% of the monthly insurance premiums for VIATechies and 50% of the premiums for dependents (depending on the plans chosen)
• Open and flexible time off
• A 401(k) plan that is fully vested immediately
• Home office setup costs
• Paid holidays
