VIATechnik is the global leader in Virtual Design and Construction. We have over 300 digital experts around the globe. 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. We are results-driven, creative solution finders and enjoy putting ourselves in our clients' shoes.

The role:

As a Senior VDC Engineer with a specialty in the mechanical and/or piping areas, you'll have the opportunity to apply your technical and engineering skills across a multitude of projects, and contribute to world-class thought leadership around BIM and VDC.

This includes ensuring that plumbing and/or mechanical projects for trade contractors incorporate BIM processes from schematic design through construction. The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and has a deep passion for developing and implementing innovative BIM processes across dispersed teams.

In this role, you will:

• Collaboratively and proactively lead the global project management of VDC/BIM projects, planning for and moving projects along independently
• Act as a specialist for our team in the plumbing and/or mechanical areas
• Serve as a primary interface to clients, cultivating client relationships. Regularly present work and conduct meetings with the client
• Respond to requests for information (RFIs) and manage the RFI submittal process
• Coordinate and lead global project teams to complete client work
• Create and manage complex commercial and industrial design projects within Revit, Navisworks, Procore, BIM360, and other supporting programs
• Contribute to our culture of professional development and knowledge sharing by participating in and leading training efforts
• Have the opportunity to get involved in projects where plumbing and/or mechanical isn't the focus, expanding your knowledge

Apply if you have:

• A bachelor's or master's degree in Architecture, Engineering, or a similar discipline
• 3+ years of experience providing implementation, training, and support in BIM and VDC
• 3+ years of experience working for a plumbing and/or mechanical trade contractor
• Experience in combining and coordinating BIM updates, running clash detection on revised components and communicating results to internal and external stakeholders
• Experience modeling, drafting, producing drawings, and reading mechanical and plumbing plans
• Capability to work effectively in a self-directed way within an extremely fast-paced, ever-changing environment
• The ability to manage multiple simultaneous projects requiring frequent communication, organization, time management, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and contracts
• A proactive and flexible attitude; willingness to take an "all hands on deck" approach
• Ability to work some early/late hours to coordinate with project teams in other countries

Even better if you have:

• Experience in leading online meetings and training sessions across remote project teams using platforms such as Asana
• Been involved in the administrative side of projects: invoicing, budgeting, scheduling, and forecasting
• Knowledge of other primary building systems - foundations, primary building structure and walls, electrical, fire protection, specialty systems, conveying systems and interior finishes and the sequence of assembly of each
• Experience managing BIM and VDC across a project lifecycle
• Understanding of real world constructability of modeled systems
• A portfolio of work you can share
• Proven track record of effectively working with and managing teams remotely
• Background in providing professional services to clients
• Experience with software such as AutoCAD MEP and/or Fabrication CADMEP

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
