Job description

An established general contractor is seeking an experienced Senior VDC Manager to join the project team delivering a major $700M data center in Texas.

This is a senior project-based VDC position with responsibility for leading digital coordination and VDC strategy across a highly complex mission critical project. The role will work closely with project leadership, MEP teams, field operations and trade partners to ensure VDC is fully integrated into the construction process.

The position would particularly suit someone who has developed beyond traditional BIM coordination and has a strong interest in construction technology, automation, AI and the wider use of digital tools to improve project delivery.

Responsibilities

• Lead VDC strategy and execution across the project
• Manage BIM coordination across architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical disciplines
• Lead coordination between project teams, VDC personnel, design teams and trade partners
• Oversee model development, clash detection and coordination workflows
• Ensure coordinated models accurately reflect design intent, constructability requirements and field conditions
• Work closely with MEP and field leadership to identify and resolve coordination issues before they impact construction
• Develop and maintain project VDC execution plans, standards and workflows
• Support construction sequencing, logistics planning and 4D modelling
• Integrate VDC information with project schedules, field operations and wider project management systems
• Support prefabrication and installation planning through model-based coordination
• Oversee reality capture, laser scanning, point cloud and site progress technologies where required
• Use field data and reality capture to validate installation accuracy against coordinated models
• Identify opportunities to automate VDC and project workflows and reduce manual processes
• Explore practical applications of AI and emerging construction technology across VDC and project delivery
• Evaluate new software and digital tools that could improve coordination, productivity and project visibility
• Work alongside project leadership to develop dashboards, reporting and data-driven project workflows
• Manage and mentor VDC Engineers, Coordinators and other VDC team members
• Support project teams and trade partners in adopting VDC technology and processes
• Maintain relationships with software and technology providers where appropriate
• Drive continuous improvement and identify lessons that can be applied across future projects

Qualifications

• 7+ years of VDC, BIM or digital construction experience
• Experience leading VDC delivery on large, technically complex construction projects
• Strong understanding of BIM coordination, clash detection, constructability and model-based construction
• Advanced knowledge of platforms such as Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM 360, Revit and Navisworks
• Experience coordinating complex mechanical and electrical systems
• Strong understanding of how VDC integrates with field operations and overall project delivery
• Experience with reality capture, laser scanning, point clouds, drones or similar technologies beneficial
• Experience with 4D modelling, scheduling integration or digital construction planning beneficial
• Exposure to automation, data analytics, dashboards, software integrations or AI applications highly desirable
• Data center, mission critical, semiconductor, advanced technology or similarly complex project experience preferred
• Experience managing and developing VDC personnel
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with project executives, PMs, Superintendents, MEP teams, designers and trade partners
• Strong interest in emerging construction technology and its practical application on projects
• Degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture or a related discipline preferred
