This role is responsible for overseeing all BIM/VDC activities across the project lifecycle while ensuring compliance with owner standards, construction schedules, and asset management deliverables. The VDC Manager will manage the project VDC team, including a dedicated BIM Specialist and junior VDC engineers. While this is a leadership position, it also requires a manager who is comfortable remaining closely engaged with the technical work, particularly on complex, high‑risk, or time‑sensitive efforts.

• Lead all Virtual Design & Construction activities in accordance with project‑specific BIM/VDC requirements, standards, and execution plans.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for BIM/VDC coordination with the Owner and key project stakeholders.
• Develop, maintain, and enforce the BIM Execution Plan (BEP), ensuring consistent application across all disciplines and partners.
• Oversee the development and coordination of discipline models, federated models, and construction models throughout all phases of the project.

Technical Oversight & Contribution

• Maintain a working familiarity with active models, coordination issues, and digital workflows to ensure quality and continuity.
• Provide direct technical support or contribution when project complexity, schedule demands, or risk warrant closer involvement.
• Support model federation, coordination reviews, and resolution of complex or escalated issues.
• Guide refinement of BIM/VDC workflows, standards, and deliverables to meet project and owner expectations.

Coordination, Constructability & Digital Delivery

• Lead 3D coordination and clash detection processes across all disciplines and trade partners.
• Facilitate regular coordination meetings and ensure timely issue resolution.
• Oversee 4D and 5D modeling efforts supporting construction sequencing, logistics planning, progress tracking, and reporting.
• Ensure digital models accurately reflect construction means, methods, and verified field conditions.

Construction Phase & Turnover

• Manage monthly and milestone BIM/VDC deliverables, including progress models, federated coordination models, and construction simulations.
• Ensure appropriate quality control is applied to all BIM/VDC deliverables prior to submission.
• Oversee development of accurate as‑built / as‑constructed models suitable for owner turnover and asset management integration.
• Coordinate validation activities, including integration of survey and laser scan data where required.

Team Leadership & Development

• Manage and mentor a dedicated BIM Specialist and junior VDC Engineers.
• Support knowledge transfer and skill development through structured tasks, reviews, and collaboration.
• Contribute to the growth and maturity of the organization’s VDC practices, standards, and internal capabilities.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in civil engineering, construction management, architectural engineering or related field from an accredited institution.
• 5+ years of experience on large, complex construction or infrastructure projects.
• 3+ years of experience leading BIM/VDC workflows for design and construction.
• Demonstrated ability to balance strategic oversight with appropriate technical engagement.
• Strong understanding of BIM methodologies, coordination workflows, and Level of Development (LOD) standards.
• Proficiency with industry‑standard tools such as Autodesk Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks, Synchro 4D, and common data environments.
• Experience working in environments with strict documentation, quality control, and security requirements.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• Experience on high‑security, mission‑critical, or operationally sensitive projects, such as transportation facilities, aviation, utilities, government, or other controlled infrastructure.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers or supporting structured development programs.
• Familiarity with asset management integration and digital handover requirements.
• Background in civil infrastructure, transportation, or heavy construction.
