VDC Engineer

About the Role

Supports implementation at the project level for established Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) workflows using data-rich models to coordinate, quantify, plan, and track work. Contributes to project efficiency by facilitating clear communication among design, engineering, and construction teams and providing technical support to elevate the expectations for cross-functional VDC use. Improves overall project outcomes by solving issues before they impact construction and supporting the timely development and approval of shop/fabrication level models.

Key Responsibilities

• Organizes multidisciplinary models into a federated coordination model to support design, fabrication and construction activities throughout the project lifecycle.
• Coordinates with architects, engineers, and trade partners to integrate multidisciplinary BIM data into each discipline's source models to avoid conflicts and discrepancies.
• Reviews source models for accuracy, completeness, and alignment with contractual requirements and project execution plan.
• Identifies and communicates potential clashes or constructability issues to project teams and trade partners for timely resolution.
• Prepares visuals, drawings, and documentation from models to support project communication and RFI processing.
• Follows up on RFIs and ensures timely resolution.
• Tracks modeling progress, performance and productivity to ensure model population allows for on-time coordination sign-off.
• Supports Operations teams by applying VDC tools and processes, navigating models to identify building systems, and interpreting contract documents to inform project execution.
