Build a Career. Build What Matters.

Job Summary:

Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is a project management methodology that integrates digital technologies, like Building Information Modeling (BIM), to digitally build a project before it is constructed physically. By creating a virtual, collaborative model, VDC allows project teams to plan, design, and manage construction more effectively, and identify and resolve issues like clashes or conflicts before they occur in the real world. This process improves coordination, reduces costs and delays, and streamlines workflows.  

• VDC uses integrated 3D and 4D (3D + time/schedule) and sometimes 5D (4D + cost) models to represent the project. 
• VDC provides a shared virtual environment where owners, designers, and contractors can collaborate and make decisions together. 
• Teams can simulate the construction sequence to optimize workflows and identify potential problems early in the process. 
• A major benefit is the ability to identify and resolve conflicts between different building systems (e.g., structural, mechanical, electrical) in the virtual model to prevent expensive rework on-site. 

Key Responsibilities (Including, but not limited to):

Model creation and coordination:

• Create and maintain detailed 3D/BIM models using software like Revit.
• Translate 2D drawings into 3D models and develop models for prefabrication.
• Lead coordination efforts and meetings to integrate models from different disciplines (architecture, engineering, etc.).

Clash detection and issue resolution:

• Perform clash detection to identify conflicts between different building systems.
• Manage and distribute clash reports to relevant teams.
• Work with field teams to resolve conflicts that arise during construction

Project planning and simulation:

• Develop and manage BIM execution plans.
• Use models to create 4D visual schedules that link the model to the project timeline.
• Conduct 5D cost estimations based on the models.
• Support logistics planning and site layout using VDC tools. 

Field and team support:

• Provide support to field teams through visualizations, constructability reviews, and other VDC applications.
• Use tools like laser scanners, 360 photo documentation, and drones to capture existing conditions.
• Help prepare field installation drawings and documentation.

Data and analytics:

• Analyze project data and metrics to track success and identify areas for improvement.
• Help produce and analyze "reality capture" deliverables.

Technology and training:

• Research and assist with the implementation of new VDC technologies and workflows.
• Provide training and support to project teams on VDC software and processes.  

Required Qualifications:

• Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) require a blend of technical, soft, and educational skills. Key technical skills include proficiency in BIM software like Revit and Navisworks.
• Knowledge of construction processes, and experience with cloud-based platforms.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
•  A foundational understanding of architecture or engineering
• A positive can-do attitude and openness to trying things new ways

Desired Skills & Qualifications:

• Relevant bachelor's degree. 
• Previous experience in the telecom, utility, construction, and/or engineering industry
