VDC Engineer

Granger Construction
Lansing, MI Full Time
POSTED ON 6/3/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/2/2026
Why This Role Matters

The VDC Engineer plays a critical role in bringing projects to life before construction begins. By leveraging BIM and VDC technologies, this role helps teams identify risks early, improve coordination across disciplines, and ensure projects are built accurately, efficiently, and safely. You’ll collaborate with project teams, designers, and trade partners to turn complex data into clear, actionable insights.

What You’ll Do

As a VDC Engineer, you’ll spend most of your time supporting active project coordination while also contributing to continuous improvement of VDC tools and processes.

Core Responsibilities

  • Create, manage, and coordinate BIM models across all project phases, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and alignment with project standards
  • Perform advanced clash detection and lead resolution of spatial conflicts across architectural, structural, and MEP systems to prevent field issues and rework
  • Collaborate closely with architects, engineers, contractors, and internal project teams to align project goals and improve communication
  • Support and participate in coordination meetings, including documenting clear and detailed meeting minutes
  • Assist with virtual mock-ups and constructability reviews to validate design intent and installation sequencing
  • Support the VDC Manager by helping manage the project’s VDC environment and ensuring all modeling and coordination requirements are met
  • Provide VDC/BIM technology support to project teams and help drive adoption of tools such as BIM software, AR/VR, and point cloud data
  • Stay current on emerging technologies and industry best practices to continuously improve VDC workflows and solutions

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role is measured by both technical results and collaboration:

  • High rate of clash identification and resolution prior to construction
  • Accuracy of models and alignment with as-built conditions and required Levels of Detail (LOD)
  • Consistent production output (models, drawings, analyses) aligned with project schedules
  • Strong schedule performance and reliable forecasting of VDC deliverables
  • Effective adoption and use of VDC technologies across project teams
  • Clear communication and reliable follow-through with stakeholders

What We’re Looking For

Required Skills & Experience

  • Strong understanding of construction principles, building systems, and project delivery methods
  • Advanced proficiency in BIM and VDC tools such as Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, BIM 360, and related modeling and coordination software
  • Proven ability to identify design conflicts, analyze complex information, and propose practical, creative solutions
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work across disciplines
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks, deadlines, and shifting project priorities

Nice to Have

  • Experience with AR/VR tools, point cloud data, or laser scanning workflows
  • Field experience or exposure to construction operations
  • Passion for improving processes through technology and innovation

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Work on meaningful, complex projects with highly collaborative teams
  • Use cutting-edge VDC tools to influence project outcomes early
  • Learn continuously and grow your technical and leadership skills
  • Partner with project and field teams who value trust, clarity, and proactive problem-solving
